My ancestors left Ireland and England, bringing to Aotearoa (New Zealand) a belief in their local traditions including the Other Crowd (the fae). My love for the land I was born on, six generations later, has shaped virtually every aspect of my life.
A twenty-year career in conservation and sustainability grounded in a desire to protect the earth has evolved naturally into working with people. The reality we see around us is a reflection of our collective inner worlds, everything starts in spirit. I believe a return to a sacred reciprocity between people and earth is not only possible, but imminent.
I have been blessed to attend wānanga (traditional place of higher learning in Māori culture) learning from centuries-old knowledge systems that never lost this reciprocity. The wisdom has been passed down generation to generation, creating a deep body of esoteric knowledge based on universal principles, guided by tikanga (cultural protocols). My work with clients is deeply influenced by the wisdom of these wānanga.

I will always be a student of this work, weaving together learnings from my own relationship with earth and spirit, traditions of my Celtic ancestral line and the indigenous knowledge systems of the land that I call home.
