Professional Background
I studied psychology and clinical social work as part of three university degrees before working in mental health research and community programming. I then spent over a decade as a psychotherapist, specializing in trauma-processing and post-traumatic growth.
After encounters with metaphysical phenomena, psychedelics, and miraculous physical healing, my experiences diverged from the materialist philosophies embedded within my field; so I eventually re-trained in alternative healing arts, with a focus on Buddhism, lightwork, shamanism, and medical intuition. In recent years, I'm discovering what feels like home in the power of grace and prayer, which humbles me to how any helpful energy that flows through me is not of my doing, but of divine love, itself.
For those interested, below are some highlights of my personal experience.

Personal Background
Plant medicine...
In preparation for surgery, I worked with plant medicine to release the fear of death. Mushrooms catapulted me out of this reality, eradicated fear of ‘death,’ released emotional traumas, and deepened my connection to that which is beyond the physical. I gained a felt knowing that our measurable material world is only one layer of what’s going on. I experienced separation as illusion, Love as our essence, and the act of 'being who we truly are' to be a/the guiding purpose.
I later set an intention of having the worst trip possible in order to walk myself out of it -- and, in doing so, to learn how I could help others in their own terrifying journeys. In retrospect this was naive, but I survived, recovered, and ended up gaining understanding and skills I probably wouldn't have obtained otherwise.
Energy work...
Amidst a nearly 5-year bout of mobility struggles and chronic pain that Western medicine couldn't explain or treat, allopathic doctors told me I’d never run or walk again. However, today I’m hiking up mountains and doing farm work like none of that nightmare ever happened. Visualizations and heart-centred energy work enabled me to reclaim my strength, trust in my body, and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between the physical and meta-physical.
Hollow bone meditation...
Through meditation, I practiced emptying awareness of 'me' in order to more clearly channel prayer, creativity, and loving messages from the divine. This process has led to some beautiful gifts -- such as the book I published in 2019, and guidance to move to the countryside where I am now.
I am grateful to use what I've learned and become to assist others in discovering their freedoms and possibilities.
