Welcome!
Thank you for being here and allowing me to share a little of me, with you.
I live an ordinary suburban life raising children, running a household, working for myself and enjoying all that life has to offer. At the same time, this ordinary daily life of mine flows moment-to-moment from a grateful embracing of the unlimited potential for personal evolution within one’s lifetime; a state of ongoing communion with Mother Earth; and an unwavering, passionate love for the sacred gift that is All Life. Well, most days anyway 😊
As a highly academic child and teen, with a colourful inner world and rich spirituality from an early age, I felt a deep love for people and calling to work in a healing capacity upon completing high school. In the human world, that initially translated as studying Occupational Therapy and working in the field of mental health. As I craved working more creatively and on a deeper level, I then completed a Masters of Counselling and talk therapy quickly became the great love of my life. To this day, it feels more like a treasured spiritual practice than “a job”.

Working with so many people on such a deep, intimate level has gifted me with many lifetimes worth of learning and shaped me to who I am today. It has taught me the absolute miracle and gift that is any person and their soul's journey - the gift that is their very life. I understood the same is true for myself.
​
​
May we all recognise the sacred Gift that is each being's life.
​
This work has continuously asked me to reach for deeper and deeper places within myself, deeper levels of gentleness, understanding, compassion, wisdom, unconditional acceptance, non-judgement, warmth and love. It has taught me about the art of presence, the art of listening and the art of relationship and deep, authentic connection. It has shown me what it is to truly be with another, in the depths of their pain. It has trained me to continually harmonise and refine my own energy field in order to hold a high frequency space and serve as a healing presence and catalyst for growth for others.
This path has taken me on a great journey of intense self-observation, self-truth and self-knowledge - and of learning to meet all parts of myself with absolute love, always. Above all else, this work has taught me to honour and celebrate the truly heroic human journey and what it is to be a person. I know that we are love.

Despite always wanting "more", I am grateful that counselling has been my main offering for many years, for I see now that it is the essential foundation for all else. Regardless of whatever paths I follow, projects I throw myself into or offerings I create, this work has shaped me to never lose sight of treasuring the person, and, prizing the fine art of what it is to be a beautiful human.
For how we craft ourselves as a person - the way of being that we cultivate within our self and embody in the world; the energy we radiate out and how we affect the whole; and our ability to live in right relationship with all life - is the greatest thing we can do.
​
​
How you "do your human” is the highest spiritual practice there is.

Alongside my professional life, my personal life has also unfolded as an incredible spiritual training ground and up-levelling, through the daily walk that is motherhood, body care and food preparation, music, dance, friendship, community, nature and Earth. The past 7 years in particular, have seen an ever-deepening communion with and devotion to, Mother Earth - uploading her exquisite teachings, walking with her medicines and embracing her as if a lover.
Earth quite literally is a goddess, in the shape of a sphere. Her immense love and teachings are transmitted without ever saying a word. I feel nothing but reverence for her - her plant and animal kingdoms, her seasons and cycles, the elements, her waters, the trees - and for us, humanity, the light beings of Earth. It is truly a privilege to be here, to spend an entire lifetime held within Earth's vast consciousness, experiencing her, loving her and becoming one with this divinely feminine green-and-blue planet.
​
​
Earth. She is my church.
​
Merging with Mother Earth’s consciousness, has taught me to expand into deeper expressions of relationship with Water and Mama Ocean, with the trees, with our Sun and on a more cosmic level, other star systems and our beautiful galaxy. I love exploring our multi-dimensional nature beyond this earthly experience. I find myself equally walking the higher realms and ultimately, feel the constant presence of an all-encompassing, immense consciousness of absolute love and infinite blessings.
For me, she is simply called ‘Great Mother’ and I see and feel her in all things. Daily life is as filled with prayer, ceremony, magick, love, service, light and the healing arts as it is filled with housework and the grocery shopping. I am finding we can easily walk in both worlds.​

The passion I feel for the individual human journey extends to humanity's collective journey through the ages, our unfolding story and evolving consciousness. Tuning into the greater energy of this decade and in fact this 150 year-ish transition that we are currently walking through is kind of a hobby. I feel crazy excited to be here, Now, through a good part of this turning of the ages and feel ridiculously invested in humanity’s success - the energies of a new age, a new version of human, a new earth.
​
A collective initiation is underway...
​
I feel the same call many of us are feeling, to serve and support humanity's evolution at this time, in ways unique to me and in alignment with my gifts and ‘what I’m built for’. I want to create, to share and to play with the frequency of Love. I guess that's how EarthChurch was born. I want to help in healing the distortions we inherited with respect to our bodies, our food, our sacred sexuality, our planet, our spirituality... every aspect of Life on Earth as a Human. I want to assist in the unlearning and the Remembering.
My deepest wish is to empower You, the wayshowers. We came here to participate! May we inspire each other to passionately, gratefully embrace our human journey and the experience of Life, on this planet/plane. May we plug in so deeply and profoundly to Earth that we can only feel safe, loved and held by her. May we celebrate as one, the ever-unfolding story of humanity’s collective journey and the new, emerging human. May we awaken to the truth of Who We Are.

We activate each other, purely through being witnessed in our lived example. Without ever saying a word, what we embody, what we transmit from our very cells, ripples out and initiates a whole new consciousness within humanity. May we activate each other, to a full-body felt-sense of our own divinity, our oneness with Earth and with All Life. Namaste.
