When I think back to my childhood in Scotland, I’m transported to summers on the Hebridean islands, where life moved in harmony with the tides and the seasons. Growing up in this rich cultural environment, deeply connected to my Welsh and Scottish heritage, I unknowingly absorbed ancient healing traditions passed down through generations. My family’s intuitive connection to the earth and spirit quietly planted the seeds for my life’s work—though I didn’t realize it at the time.
While parts of my upbringing were spiritually nourishing, I also witnessed my parents’ struggles as they sought to build successful lives away from their villages and the close-knit communities that had sustained them. My childhood was shaped by constant movement and a yearning for roots. I observed the solid, steady partnerships in our traditional communities, but I couldn’t find that same sense of stability in my own life. This disconnect echoed through my early adulthood, leaving me searching for a sense of worth and belonging.
Like many women, I spent years lost in a cycle of unfulfilling relationships. Partners came and went—some betrayed me, while others I withdrew from emotionally. Deep down, I was desperately seeking unconditional love, yet I was looking for it in boys and men who weren’t equipped to provide it. I held onto an image of the “perfect” relationship shaped by my parents’ ambitions, yet I craved adventure and creativity, which left me restless. This pattern reflected my inner struggles—feelings of inadequacy I hadn’t yet addressed. Without self-worth, I couldn’t attract the love I truly deserved.
A pivotal moment came when I entered what seemed like the perfect relationship. Vulnerable from heartbreak, I fell for a man who seemed to have it all—charm, confidence, and excitement. He proposed after just six weeks, and at 32, the idea of marriage felt like a solution to my restless heart. We eloped at Christmas, marrying in a tiny Scottish glen and announcing the union to our families on Christmas Day.
But the fairytale unraveled quickly. His narcissistic tendencies surfaced, and he manipulated and controlled me, draining my energy and stripping me of joy. I felt trapped by the ideal of marriage, bound by promises to make it work no matter what. Three weeks after buying a house together, the relationship imploded. I was left with debt, a broken marriage, and a shattered sense of self. Untangling myself from his influence was excruciating, but it became the catalyst for my healing journey.
That relationship forced me to confront the damaging beliefs I’d carried for so long—stories that told me I wasn’t worthy of love or happiness. I had to unlearn these lies and rebuild my identity. Through mindfulness, somatic healing, and energy work, I began to peel back the layers of pain and shame, reclaiming my sense of self and my life.
But my journey with feeling unsafe didn’t start there. Years earlier, I had been stalked, an experience that left me living in fear and hiding—physically and emotionally. For years, I buried my true self under shame and survival instincts. Looking back, it’s no surprise I attracted relationships that mirrored that fear and lack of safety.
Healing from these experiences required profound inner work. I had to learn to step out of hiding, trust my voice, and believe I could be loved and accepted for who I truly was. As I began to heal, I felt an undeniable calling to help others do the same. My previous career in the arts and community projects no longer felt enough—I knew my path lay in helping people break free from their own cycles of pain and disconnection.
I immersed myself in therapy, yoga, mindfulness, counseling, and energy healing, eventually discovering Quantum Energy Coaching (QEC). This powerful modality allowed me to reprogram my subconscious and break free from the patterns that had held me captive. It was a transformative tool for my own healing, and I knew it was the key to helping others create deep and lasting change.
Today, I’m based in Paris, where I met my long-term partner—a deeply loving and respectful relationship I believe I found through the work I did on myself. Through my practice, I help individuals heal from trauma, release destructive relationship patterns, and rediscover their self-worth. My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic healing, and QEC, offering a compassionate, culturally sensitive space for transformation.
I’ve walked this path myself. I know the isolation and pain of feeling lost in relationships and disconnected from your true self. But I also know that healing is possible. With the right support, you can break through the barriers that hold you back and step into a life of clarity, peace, and fulfillment.
If you’re navigating a life transition, struggling with relationships, or seeking to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to support you. Together, we can create the life you truly deserve.
