I’m a British-born therapeutic counsellor who has called the Netherlands home for over a decade. Having built my life across cultures, I understand both the excitement and the quiet ache of wondering where and how you belong.
After graduating business school, I realised it was meaningless and shifted my career from corporate consulting towards counselling and facilitation. I set-up an association to help young people find purpose, completed a diploma in Counselling and Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry training.
My life's work is dedicated to facilitating individual journey's and collective spaces that support changemakers to find purpose, balance and impact in an unravelling world. This equips us to be resilient in facing global crises. I envision a global community of resilient changemakers facing systemic crises together to create a sustainable, just world for all humans and non-humans.
I discovered psychedelics while at the Spanish Burning Man, realising their potential as an ally for personal and collective transformation, in the right context. After many recreational journeys, I started holding informal ceremonies for friends. Over the years, I professionalised and now facilitate monthly psychedelic retreats in my ceremonial attic and support clients integrating psychedelic experiences. I draw on training from the MIND Foundation and certification as a Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner. I've personally experienced over one hundred journeys with a variety of plant medicines.
I’m autistic and surround myself with incredible neurodiverse humans who remind me that maybe we’re not the weird ones. I’ve been actively poly since my mid-twenties, learning both the abundance of love it can offer and the emotional complexity it invites.
These lived experiences shape the way I hold space for others exploring connection, authenticity, and belonging — whether that’s in love, in community, or on a fragile planet in flux.
