My calling as a guide to the inner wilderness began in childhood, and was forged through big, life-altering traumas that led me to believe there was something inherently wrong with me.  As a young adult I wandered aimlessly, seemingly without purpose or any real sense of who I was.  I moved through bouts of depression, imprisoning myself in a tight complex of deficiency stories that felt like despair.  In my late teens I turned to meditation to transcend my suffering rather than face my demons head on.  

At some point, however, Mystery called me to turn inwards to heal.  This launched a lifelong pilgrimage of deep self inquiry and spiritual wandering as I learned to question everything I had taken to be true about myself.  Aided by plant teachers, human elders, Jungian writing, the profound wisdom of nature and, in time, the inner teacher, I tended my wounds, called in the lost, forgotten and disavowed parts of myself and awakened a deep sense of wholeness. With Animas Valley Institute, I embarked on a long program of nature connection, rewilding and Wild Mind work.  This culminated in a vision quest in the wilds of Wollemi, including a four-day wilderness solo and water fast, during which time I underwent an initiation with soul: the mythopoetic remembering of my ultimate place and purpose in the web of life.  This seminal, earth shattering encounter gradually restructured my psyche and entire way of being, propelling me into a life of service, guiding others through the inner wilderness to the truth at their centre. 

In addition to postgraduate training in holistic psychotherapy, I guide nature connection programs to rewild the human soul, empowering a deep discovery of what is fundamentally right about you.

As a certified meditation teacher, I teach mindfulness and the practise of self-inquiry, facilitating deeper self awareness, personal growth and transpersonal exploration.  I am also a trained facilitator of the Kiloby Inquiries method, a ground breaking, mindfulness-based approach to treating depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction, which now has intensive outpatient centres across the US. And, honouring my commitment to hold space for others, I co-founded the Blue Mountains Men’s Group at the tail end of 2021.

My own journey has been light and dark, wild, beautiful and, at times, gnarly, and I would be honoured to work with you as you walk your own.
