About Us

Our Story

Each step has led to where we are today. Even when things seem dark and you don't know which way is up, these challenges and how we overcome them have greatly impacted who we have become.

Ever evolving with our stories weaving into our cloaks of scars and our eyes sparkling with tears we remember "This too shall pass"!

It's always darkest before the dawn and the brightest lights cast the greatest shadows. 

In 2003 I decided to travel to Thailand and enrol in a Thai Massage Course at the TMC school in Chiang Mai. Thailand was beautiful with it's soft white sandy beaches and incredible food I felt this was a good place to be while escaping British winter and explore some ancient healing wisdom.

My mum had been suffering a neurological illness that was progressively causing more pain and less and less mobility, she had always been fiercely independent and done a lot for me and her family. The doctors and healthcare system weren't making much progress or improvement, so we had to look at what else was out there.  I had a deep desire to find any kinds of alternatives that may help her.

We tried a great Chinese Medicine doctor who gave her acupuncture and some very smelly herbal concoctions that we would brew for her to drink, which seemed to lead to the reduction of inflammation.

This unlocked something within me to learn more and explore the magic that the world had to offer. I didn't feel after a month of study in Thai massage that I was ready for a career change but it certainly started something.

So after a trip around the world, I was back in London at yet another sales job, this time with a Talent Management company, I have no idea what I was doing there, other than allowing life to slip by hour by hour and living for the weekends. I knew something wasn't right and I couldn't let my life slip by like this, not making a difference in the world. One day having lunch in the meeting room surrounded by inspirational books, a whiteboard with the Ikigai diagram

taunting me and conversations with my good friend and creative badass Marianna. I am passionate about Health, healing arts, helping people, I'm good with people and connecting and listening, I need something more flexible to be available to take my mum to appointments and for cooking and baking yummy healthy foods (another of my passions).

Simultaneously, while my curiosity and passion grew and the sense that there was something more for me, I was still struggling with anxiety, drinking and partying too hard, living for the weekend and general self sabotaging, self destructive ways.

Eventually I was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with a kidney infection one day. Luckily I was taken care of but I took this as a big message from the universe and a wake up call I could not ignore. Following this I dealt with adrenal fatigue probably for years.

I finally decided to take the leap and pursue a more fulfilling life of purpose and meaning, so I quit my job and enrolled with Essentials for Health in London, six months intensive training in Holistic Swedish Massage and Anatomy & physiology diploma. This changed my life I was living my passion and getting paid to help people which felt incredible.

I no longer counted the hours til the weekend for the escape from the boring 9-5. I started living my truth and I could see my dream life was completely possible.

Marianna also had the fire within ignited in that meeting room she is now living her dreams as a Make Up Artist, travelling and working on some huge productions in TV and Film.

This was in 2008 and since then I have been incredibly lucky to have the opportunity and fortune to travel to lots more wonderful countries and satiate my appetite for learning many different techniques and modalities; including Reiki Healing, Ayurvedic Massage and Herbology in India, Kohki therapy in Australia, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage in Guatemala along with an intense transformation at The Mystical Yoga Farm - during the 200 Hr Yoga Teacher Training with SYI.

You can find more in-depth information about all of this over on the Services page.

Of course during these learning adventures life was also wildly unfurling around and within me bringing love, loss, health issues and challenges filled with lessons.

I am grateful every day for each beautiful blessing in this wild life, the incredible souls that join me on this journey and the opportunity to hold space and accompany others on their path to living their dream life in health and abundance.

I'd love to connect with you! Let me know what's happening in your world and if there's anything we can work on together to let go of the past, heal the old stories and step out of your own way to start weaving that dream life.
