About Me


SOUL LOVE
Thanks for stopping by. In living my Truth, I have gone from Teaching School, Fashion and Marketing, to immersing myself in Graphic Arts, Reiki and Iridology; from adrenaline sports like single track mountain biking, snow boarding, rock climbing and scuba diving to the gentle beauty of Kundalini Yoga. I love being able to choose, to experience a tapestry of emotion, to connect with magnificent human beings, and to constantly re-create myself ... this is what makes life meaningful to me.
Having cancer of the optic nerve at 16 months has never held me back or pushed me down. I know that I am hugely blessed with endless gifts, especially the gift of compassion. As Rumi said; "Being desirable means being comfortable with your own ambiguity. Within everyone there is light and shadow, good and evil, love and hate. You must embrace your whole being." I have embraced all the parts of me and I am very comfortable with my ambiguity.
Through Reiki, I am a conduit, a facilitator to awaken others into authentic power. From fear into Love, from doubting into Knowing, from repression into Expression, from resentment into Compassion. It's through the Alchemy of our body & mind that we reach the Beyond.
I live my life the Reiki way, essentially giving and receiving love. A way of living that has brought magical experiences and supreme manifestation into my life. The most incredible people have walked into my life and my healing practice. I welcome you and embrace all of the possibilities that are bound to open up.

My Interests

The child in all of us; perpetuating a sense of wonder; experiences that open my heart and create shifts in me; provocative conversations; all bodies of water; travel and cultural cuisine; everything Africa; art, film, music.

I'd like to meet:

• Everyone who loves life and connection.
• Those with integrity, empathy and who follow their truth, have opinions but are not self serving or self centered.
