About
My work is shaped by a lifelong sensitivity to the body, the nervous system, and the subtle ways we lose contact with ourselves under pressure.
For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply sensitive to the world around me. For many years, that sensitivity didn’t feel like a gift, it felt overwhelming, and I spent a long time trying to force things to work, manage my environment, and fit into a world that felt too loud.
What I teach today doesn’t come from a textbook. It comes from the absolute exhaustion of trying to force my way through life, and the quiet breakthrough that happened when I finally dropped the reins and allowed things to settle.
Settle enough to stop seeking. Rest enough to stop fixing. Feel safe enough to be nothing in particular.

lived experience
My own path has taken me through years of deep contemplative practice, including navigating my own shifts within a Kundalini process and the often messy, physical reality of awakening. I know what it feels like when your internal structure starts shifting and the life you built no longer fits. I also know how valuable it is to work with someone who understands that terrain. I have been blessed this lifetime to have had spiritual guidance from my teachers and being introduced to Sri Viryananda Saraswati, (Silviaji)-lineage holder of PKYC India in 2021 has been a pivotal and deeply transformative time in my process. I am forever grateful for the knowledge of Kundalini Vidya and the lineage that beholds it all.
professional practice
I spent two years training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), I have certifications in Integrative Parts Work, Polyvagal Theory and Sound Healing alongside my previous background working within the mental health sector. This allowed me to bridge a down-to-earth, nervous-system-informed approach with the spacious depth of effortless meditation.
I don’t offer a quick fix, and I don’t believe anyone needs improving. This is entirely your journey to own and navigate. My role isn’t to carry you or fix your life, but to point toward a different way of moving through it…one where you can finally stop striving, rest in your own natural awareness, and live with a baseline of ease.
sound as an anchor
In my own practice, sound became a vital bridge when the silence felt too vast or difficult to access. There were times when my mind was simply too loud, and my nervous system too activated, to just sit down and drop into effortless awareness.
I found that acoustic instruments, such as the resonant vibration of a bowl or the steady beat of a drum, gave my mind a gentle, physical reference point to rest upon. Instead of fighting the noise in my head, I could let my awareness ride the sound waves down into the body. It became a profound support for settling my nervous system, acting as a runway that naturally led me back into quiet presence.
Today, I use sound in my sessions in exactly the same way: not as a performance or a distraction, but as a grounded anchor to help steady the system and ease the transition into stillness.
learning from the natural world
My deepest insights into presence and embodiment have not come from books or lectures, but from life alongside horses.
My journey with horses began at seven years old, when an older friend taught me how to ride. Free from formal riding lessons or rigid instruction, my childhood interactions were rooted in pure intuition and an instinctive, heartfelt connection.
As an adult, I repeatedly found myself with horses that were considered “difficult.” Navigating these challenging dynamics pushed me to look deeper, leading me to natural horsemanship. While I initially sought methods to help my horses, I soon realised that the most profound shifts were taking place within me.
A pivotal turning point came through attending a couple of transformative clinics with Noora Ehnqvist, who introduced me to a completely different, grounded way of being alongside horses. Taking that initial spark, I began bringing my own spiritual practice, non-dual teachings, and the subtle dynamics of awakening directly into my daily life with my herd.
I learned to drop out of the busy, controlling mind and anchor deeply into somatic awareness. The horses became my living mirrors, reflecting the subtle micro-tensions of the ego, the desire to manage outcomes, and the friction caused by internal resistance. Through letting go of control and surrendering the ego’s agenda, I discovered what it truly means to be a real-time partner to a horse.
Today, my work with horses is not about fixing behaviour or achieving a result, but about supporting others to listen deeply, meet their horse beyond the mind, and step into the spacious, non-resistant awareness that transforms connection from the inside out.
an invitation
I teach through a combination of effortless meditation, sound and embodiment-based practices. I do not position myself as a healer or an authority, but as a practitioner who holds calm, supportive spaces where people can slow down and take responsibility for their own inner experience.
This isn’t just about finding peace during a quiet hour on a cushion; it is about learning how to bring that same spacious, effortless awareness into the messy, demanding reality of daily life. This work is best suited to those who are no longer seeking dramatic fixes and fireworks, but who feel drawn towards a quieter, more integrated way of living in the world.
If you are looking for a space where nothing needs to be forced, where you are not treated as broken, and where the pace is slow enough for your system to respond honestly, you are welcome.
My role is to support conditions. What unfolds within them is yours.
