MY STORY
The year was 2016, and I knew something had to change. I felt trapped in a job role that wasn’t serving me, working myself into the ground.
After the traumatic loss of my dad, I was finding it harder and harder to keep it all together. One day, I heard a clear voice telling me my life would soon change for the better.
After an intensive silent meditation course, what followed was a period of emotional overwhelm and burnout, and I began my journey back home to myself through mindfulness and therapy in nature.
I felt reunited with my true essence, and I was able to finally grieve over the loss of my dad and over 25 years of not being myself. I journeyed into nature to feel a sense of healing and home.
But this was merely the beginning…
After recovering from complete burnout, I began truly looking after myself better through connection with my soul guides. Through meditation, I heard messages from nature that guided me towards a brighter future.
One year later, I started my first Coaching Accreditation and Mindfulness Teacher training. Over the next few years, I coached and guided women to return to themselves through meditation practices and transformational coaching techniques.
I loved my work and felt truly fulfilled. But there were still energies at play that needed to be alchemised…
In 2018, I became unwell with a flu-like illness. Bedridden for a month, and the recovery process was slow. I was later diagnosed with adult asthma. I became interested in breathwork and its connection with grief and letting go.
Practising my mindful breathing in nature supported me to relax and stay grounded while helping others.
Not long after, my mum was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour. She passed away just 6 weeks after the diagnosis. I was thrown deep into grief, dealing with probate for both my parents and my childhood home. Just 6 months after my mum’s death, my then partner went missing out of the blue … a few days later, we discovered he had taken his life.
Yet again, my world fell into pieces. But this time, the voice of my helping spirits was clearer than ever - a deep knowing and immense gratitude that all was well, despite what my mind and emotions were trying to tell me.
I felt a light ignite inside my heart and fire in my belly. I gathered my children together and told them I loved them. This is something we will move through TOGETHER, I said. I said a prayer of gratitude to my helping spirits out loud.
“I am so grateful for this precious life!” I felt it to my core that this is what I am here to embody and teach, and somehow I knew deeply this was happening for a reason.
Through deep loss, I felt safe and supported on my healing journey through my darkest core wounds, experiencing this passing of my partner to suicide, a deep awareness; mental, physical, and emotional healing came through me.
I felt a core connection with a purpose much bigger than myself. Receiving signs in the natural world, my spiritual connection with animals grew deeper, and I saw these connections and symbols everywhere.
The next few years I went back into coaching, but this time my focus naturally drew me into helping other coaches to stay aligned with their true selves and their soul’s purpose. I trained and was accredited once again in Principle-led Coaching Supervision, and as I began to practice with clients, I could feel an energy guiding me deeper into the spiritual and energetic space.
It was a beautiful process, and this has become one of my favourite ways to work with others. As I healed, I opened my heart deeply to love again and a new relationship came into my life which is truly magical and I am deeply grateful to be in a divine loving partnership.
In 2023 during silent meditation, I was guided to be curious and learn more deeply about energy practices and how these align with the natural world, working further with nature’s elements. I was fortunate to be guided to Lottie in the Wild Soul Tribe, who trained me and Simon as Firewalking Instructors and Breakthrough Coaches in my ancestors’ sacred land of Ireland and my heart opened wide!
The practices I had been using on myself naturally flowed into more opportunities to train further as a Soul Energetics Practitioner in the first 6 months of 2024 – a powerful modality to help others embody their own soul's unique frequency and purpose!
At the end of 2025, I was ready and open to my soul calling me once again; the deepest remembering to come home to the land. I found my Celtic sister Rhonda Spence in Scotland, and as we connected, my soul spoke directly to me; this was why I had felt so deeply connected and moved by the Celtic lands all of my life!
In 2026, I birthed my first deer shamanic drum. As a result of working deeply with my drum, I was called to study and practice a year-long commitment to Celtic Shamanism - my most powerful transformative journey with my soul yet- which has reopened my creative power.
Shamanism has realised my deep reverence for the earth, the animals, and all created life. Supporting others to come home through this powerful healing and way of living has changed my life and the life of those around me.
