About
|
I am a heartist and healer. I love weaving words and music with their inherent power to make connections to the heart of healing. I am a singer/guitarist; avid writer; word & song-crafter; holder of spaces and inspirational mirror. I am a natural voice practitioner and enjoy exploring the voice as a tool for the free expression of emotions and experiences, to embody and come to our healing. I am a love revolutionist, a vision-board maker; a secret doodler and dancer; a lover of solitude, and of human connection; a lover of all sentient beings and nature. I believe in the divine essence inherent in each of us that guides us into becoming fully who we are. I am passionate about working with youth and women, and helping them recognise and celebrate who they are and who they can be. |

how to pierce us like an arrow straight through the heart”.
