I am a Creativity Coach, Therapist & Workshop Facilitator originally from London, UK and have lived a professional background in Consulting, Law & Financial Services.
Feeling something was missing, I uprooted my life to follow my inspiration to train in Gestalt Psychotherapy and relocate to Toronto. After my training, I moved back to London and merged into the world of startups, entrepreneurship and expanded my training and skills into Coaching.
I have completed 2,000+ coaching and therapy sessions and 150+ workshops. I am committed to my personal development journey and my passion is personal growth and healing through the creative process.
My clients are a mix of emerging and accomplished professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs who want to improve the quality of their lives through re-connection and self-discovery of themselves.
I have lived in China, USA, Costa Rica and currently live in the mountains of Medellin, Colombia.
My Creative Journey
I've always felt in my heart I had creative gifts to share with the world. From a young age, I loved creating art, reading sci-fi, horror and fantasy, writing and music.
Unfortunately my surroundings were not so nurturing, and I was led to believe that the arts interfere with the 'real' world of work. Over the years, I began to suppress my creative outlets and essence.
When I was 19 I began to DJ professionally. This opened up a something in me and I experienced moments of true creative flow; my ego would dissolve and I would merge with the crowd and music.
This gave me a taste of my true creativity, yet deep down, I knew it was a mask for creating my own work. For years I buried a part of me which longed for expression yet was stuck, without support.
In 2013, I began psychotherapy training and through play and experimentation I discovered my creative wounds. I had a profound experience when a classmate became my 'creative spirit' and helped me to open a creative block through art. A seed was planted and I understood my creative force is part of my healing and growth.
This lay inside for me many years while I was in service of others through workshops, psychotherapy and coaching. In 2017, I hit a long depression. I made a decision that to truly live, I had to do what I feared the most - I needed to create.
After completing my coaching training in 2018, I left with a backpack in Jan 2019 for South America with no plan, no final destination, other than to rediscover myself.
Through a series of synchronicities, I met a travelling artist in Peru who invited me to an art residential and later connected me to a renowned visionary artist, who agreed to mentor me.
I decided to set base and with the support of an artistic community, I painted everyday and immersed myself in the process to improve my art. I found what I was searching for; my creative essence.
I came back to life with each stroke and found my missing piece was hiding in the creative process. I strongly believe the creative process is one of the most powerful healers and ways to transmute our problems into potential.
