In 2018, my life took a significant turn, spurred by a culmination of personal circumstances. These included a growing sense of dissonance between my values and work-life, declining physical and emotional well-being, and the natural end of certain relationships.

​

Amidst these challenges, I began to recognise recurring patterns in my relationships and a harmful suppression of emotions and unmet needs. As my knowledge of the metacrisis deepened - by which I mean the severity and complexity of the world's interconnected problems and their potential impacts on ecosystems, societies, and future generations - I felt further fragmented. I had reached an edge. Looking out over this edge, the same fundamental questions echoed daily in my mind:  

​

- How can I feel more connected, healthy & purposeful? 
- How can I use my skills and privilege to make a positive contribution in the world?
- How do I deepen intentionality and embrace uncertainty?

​

Answering this call for a new way of being, I turned to environmental activism, just causes and community-driven projects. Through meaningful personal and collective actions, I discovered the potential for something transformative. This transition was not easy. Challenging my conditioning and stepping into an unknown, a new narrative, took courage. At the end of 2019, I burnt out.

​

Needing space to heal and a fresh surrounding that still held the same values of positive change, I made my way to Auroville, an intentional, international community located in South India. Since then, I have found solace and purpose in this unique environment I now call home. Auroville offers the opportunity to learn about ecological restoration, intentional community living and has allowed me to embrace a slower pace of life, reconnect with nature, and delve deeper into my personal psychospiritual exploration. 

​

Discovering a deeper connection to myself - through self-inquiry, diet/lifestyle changes, healing/shadow work, training as a massage therapist, various dance forms, awareness through the body training and integrating a regular daily practice - this led me to train in Authentic Relating and explore other compassionate communication tools. Since which, I co-founded The Heartful Path (theheartfulpath.com), a playful community centred around conscious relating and embodied learning.

​

The next and most recent phase of my development would be to step into the realm of coaching in July 2022. Having completed Level 1 of their Advanced Coaching Program, I am a practitioner of integral unfoldment, a coaching methodology from Aletheia Coaching School (integralunfoldment.com).

​

In addition, a passion of mine the importance of cultural preservation and rediscovering ritual. I often hold Sacred Song Circles and facilitate Dances Of Universal Peace to connect people through the wisdom of different traditions, movement and song.
