LOVE & heART – Artist | Educator | Healing Facilitator
There is a wondrous thrill in playing on the edges of transgression. The tension between knowing what no one else does and then the revelation publicly of a long held secret.

The days are getting shorter. The chill in the air starts biting at the tip of your nose signaling that winter is here. Witnessing these changes I am reminded how much beauty there is in each season. Winter asks us to go deeper inward. To reflect and to rest. Inevitably we slow down and conserve …

As I stand at the base of the mountain of 2025, I contemplate which direction to climb and how high. I am reminded that each ending is a beginning. Every beginning has an ending. Sometimes we even begin our story in the middle. We get to decide how the story is written and the players …
Looking back at this time last year where I was finishing off 2023 in Bali with clear intentions of making 2024 a year of celebration, travel, love and restoration I can say unequivocally I have made that happen.

"There is no death, only re-invention". This is the message I received in a very potent sacred meditation on the full moon in Taurus this month.

One of the truest acts of love is the ability to find someone you can comfortably share your solitude with. Yes, I know, that sounds like an oxymoron, and yet that is what true love feels like for me. For two people to manage to be alone together, means that there is safety in the …

Sunrise over Uluru, 7 May 2024 As I look back on this month of May I am incredulous on the sheer magnitude of events, awakenings, synchronicities and healing that was packed into these 31 days. Each day was fully lived that is for sure. I can truly say with certainty that my whole life has …
2024 is my celebration year. Each month I have planned a significant event to celebrate the ALL of life expressing itself through me.
