Creative practitioner · Writer · Speaker · Facilitator · Storyteller · Creative Coach · Nervous-System Educator · Tarot Practitioner

I create experiences that interrupt the way people are currently seeing something, so that something else can become possible.

My work sits at the intersection of creativity, uncertainty, possibility, embodied awareness, storytelling, symbolic thinking, play and human connection. I’m interested in what happens when we step outside habitual ways of thinking and create enough space to see, feel or imagine something differently.

I’ve spent more than 25 years working across the arts, creative education, wellbeing, leadership and community settings as a writer, performer, facilitator, creative coach, speaker, arts educator and producer. I’m also a published author and long-standing practitioner of creative coaching, with particular experience helping people navigate change, creative stuckness, risk, identity and possibility.

My facilitation combines practical tools with imagination and play. Depending on the experience, I draw on creative writing and storytelling, spoken word and voice, nervous-system education, embodied practice, creative coaching, tarot and symbolic practice, reflective exercises, shadow and shame work, and conversations about desire, sexuality, creativity and aliveness.

I’m particularly interested in the places where we don't yet know: the decision that hasn't been made, the idea that feels slightly ridiculous, the risk we might secretly want to take, the creative project that has become stuck, or the version of ourselves we haven't quite given permission to become.

My experiences are designed to be engaging, intelligent, immersive and memorable with enough structure to feel held, and enough openness for something unexpected to emerge.

I work with organisations, teams, leaders, founders and creative communities, and can offer standalone workshops, keynotes, interactive sessions, half-day/full-day experiences and bespoke retreats.
