WE ARE ALWAYS IN A PROCESS OF
BECOMING.
THE HUMAN BEING IS NEVER FINISHED.
Biography work is an active practice for developing self knowledge. It is an invitation to understand the growth process of the unfolding human being in body, mind and spirit. It is a quest for meaning out of which arises greater personal and social understanding and a genuine interest in fellow human beings.
It meets the need in each of us for a dynamic understanding of who we are.
By investigating cycles, themes, heroes, rituals, turning points and the ‘seemingly’ mundane moments of life, a profound and lasting sense of belonging to ourselves and the universe takes hold. Surprisingly, this work is subtle, and yet, this subtly creates metamorphic changes that renew faith in existence and connects us to the invisible forces that guide us through life.
Growth just needs our engagement.
Biographical counseling
Biographical Counseling is client and practitioner working one to one and can be done in person or online. We explore the tapestry that is your unique and sacred life. While we traverse the weaving of your life’s stories through conversation, biography exercises, artwork, inner practice and illuminating cycles we make meaning of past events and bring new eyes to the emerging future.
To book a private session please send me a message at the bottom of the page.
Biography Group Work
Biography work comes alive within a group. It can be used in a multitude of situations: in organizations, workshops and a compliment to retreats to name only a few. Sessions include biography exercises, artwork, conversation, understanding cycles and themes within a lifetime, short talks and group exercises. When we see and understand our lives we can take responsibility for the future, find a new relationship to the past and awaken to the opportunities in the present so that we step into life more fully.
If interested in biography group work please contact me.

Creative Arts Therapist, Biographical Practitioner, Waldorf Teacher, Massage Therapist, Artist and Midwife of the Creative.
A little background…
I have always had an interest in human development and the inner life.
I have always been creative.
Putting these two together has created a body of work that I am passionate about and eternally grateful to be able to share with you.
It started with the child.
After completing a degree in child development in California, I then earned a Teaching Certificate in Waldorf/Steiner Education from Emerson College in the UK. I taught for 23 years in the classroom. I still hold children in various ways and am inspired by teaching teachers the ‘how and why’ of wholistic education.
After my studies and work with children, I turned my compass towards the therapeutic side of the Creative Arts. I completed my post-graduate degree in Experiential and Creative Arts Therapy in Melbourne, Australia and received a custom training in Biographical Counseling/Group Work in the U.K.
I’ve been joyfully and successfully running courses on all things creative and therapeutic since 2002.
Alongside all of this, working with the body has been of interest for me. I received my license for massage therapy in Hawaii in 2004. I have a deep love for Temple Lomi Lomi.
My work is an integration of the therapeutic quality of creativity and the wisdom of my spiritual life. This translates into a unique collaboration with groups and clients.
I’m dedicated to deep listening and creatively companioning those I encounter toward an experience of wholeness. This wholeness includes the physical and spiritual bodies and their interconnectedness with your unique and sacred human life.
