Every soul business stems from a seed of purpose.
WHAT IS MINE?
Sacred rage, I’ve called it.
That deep, writhing anger rooted in soul, yet steeped shame.
While premonitions, astral travel, and visitations from spirit were a regular part of my bedtime routine in childhood…
…I was terrified and ashamed of them.
In my waking hours, like my dreams, I often felt like my body was living out an experience my soul was not part of.
Because I denied what I knew to be true. I preferred to appear “normal” and “together” than embrace my deeply sensitive and intuitive nature.
I stayed silent when I knew I was right or sensed I deserved more.
I sat back and let others speak for me believing my innovative inner wisdom no match for their tried-and-trusted template.
There was nothing wrong with me. I simply needed to learn how to belong with myself and radiate who I truly am for others to find me.
I can’t say it has been easy. The truth never is. Yet it is deliciously inescapable.
We simply must continue to unravel and reveal the mysteries of self and life.
To not only access our truth but dare to hear it, speak it, live it.
To express, emanate, and expand - or wither and perish in the shadow of it.
If you’ve found your way here, perhaps your own voice is ready to be reclaimed through pure, liberated, and soul-derived self-expression.
I’m honoured to play my part in your journey to synthesise your message and harmonise your voice with this most potent instrument of your own vibrational shift and vehicle for collective healing and awakening.
I am most inspired by those who speak their truth without abandon.
The storytellers, the abstract artists, the aging aunties.
Those who understand that words mean everything and nothing at the same time.
Those who can outline and colour a whole universe in one breath and crumple it up in the next.
I see creativity as a vital life force: boundless and regenerative. There is always a truer, clearer, bolder creation around the corner.
It simply must be expressed, even if it is only to make way for the next iteration. And it must move, even if the only person benefiting is you.
As a child, I was deep. Complex. Curious.
I read between the lines, saw beyond the surface, and ran rings around the rules. My heightened awareness and sensitivity often left me confused, perpetually seeking.
My intuitive gifts scared the living daylights out of me. So I buried them and asked to see and hear no more.
Meanwhile, I would lap up words like nourishing nectar. My grandmother recited poems from memory as I rested, chin in cupped hands, over the sofa. My grandfather fanned a dictionary to dictate spelling and grammar tests. (I have to admit, I prized both equally!)
Naturally, I studied for an MA in English Literature and was led to storytelling, myth, and magic.
The stories that lie in the liminal space where possibility meets practicality. If you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you embrace the magic in the mundane, the profound in the practical, too.
To this day, my bookshelf attests to my fascination for fairy and folk tales that expose the collective trials and tribulations of our human ancestors as well as their unbridled belief in our infinite potential. I see this potential in others waiting to be reclaimed.
By the by, have you read any real fairy tales? The ones with fear rather than marriage at their heart?
They will teach you more about raw human expression than any course out there.
I hold hope, and a seed of knowing, that the growth and actualisation of future generations relies as much on retaining and reclaiming the wisdom of the elders as forging and reimagining new pathways to knowledge.
I want to hear your stories. I want to archive your life lessons. I want to support you in passing the torch.
Whether you’re ready to weave your unique wisdom into a website or preserve your legacy in a life story, I’m here with my blend of practical magic to guide your vision into form.
I dare to believe…
The way to both profoundly touch and actively move people is to reconnect with your true voice. Embody its essence.
Let it permeate your cells and override the need to say the “right” thing, the “good” thing, the “sensical” thing.
Then, get to work bringing its expression forward as clearly and wholly as humanly possible.
Engaging with the world in this primordial way is not easy.
But I crave a world where I am fully, wholly, openly expressed in a way that empowers others to step into their truth too.
Do you?
