About this Substack
I write meditative pieces and poetry to help you inquire into one of the most mysterious and fundamental questions we can ask ourselves.
Who am I?
This work soulfully combines somatic experiencing, neuroscience, Internal Family Systems, complex trauma healing, self-inquiry, and embodied non-duality to help you end your search (spiritual, physical, and mental) so you can come home to your essential, unconditional wholeness.
Through these words, you will shift from living life through the conditioned, separate self to experiencing yourself as the universal consciousness you are.
Without negating parts of you that are ‘not good, positive, or spiritual enough’ we will remember our way back into our fundamental being-ness that has the capacity to hold what is here - no matter what that might be.
Come home. Know yourself. And explore the many facets of this very human life from the inexplicable Love that you are.
About Me
Hello stranger/potential lifelong friend,
I’m a poet, meditation guide, and Whole-Self midwife. I handcraft audio experiences that reach a deeper part of our Being, so we are able to come home to our wild and wise nature.
I was born in Southern Africa to an eclectic mix of relatives. One side were prisoners of war, (escaped refugees from the Polish/Ukrainian border to Zimbabwe) - and the other side were Nordic/Scottish immigrants who migrated to Zambia during WW2 as vets and engineers. My parents ( a florist and a scientist ) met over the Victoria Falls border - and I grew up on a peach farm in northern Pretoria.
I’ve moved nomadically around the world, living in Sri Lanka, UK, Spain, Thailand, Samoa, and finally Denmark, where I met my partner (of all the places to land!). I have two children and we currently live in Australia.
Belonging, I have found, is not a matter of culture or motherland but a learned ability to be at home in one’s own body, and with one’s own mind. I have been on a lifelong journey to heal the trauma of not only my own experiences as a highly sensitive child but of the generations before me who were all severely displaced through being immigrants and refugees. I have been through the depths of human despair in order to find out that separation is our greatest wasteland - and that Wholeness is a natural wilderness that lies in every one of us.
I believe that everything we seek outside ourselves already lies within; we just need to take time to stop and remember.
This substack is a space I’ve created here to help us take that ultimate healing journey back to our wholeness, unsplit by trauma, emotional suffering, and mental afflictions. I believe our wounds lie on top of what’s most sacred about us, and that they are doorways back to our ultimate belonging to our bodies and our world. I’d love to help guide you towards becoming fully self-nourished and untamed, awakening an ability in you to create your own joy rather than seek it from the outside world.
I’d love to meet you and learn a little more about your story and what brings you here.

Why subscribe?
I’m slowly making all content available here exclusive to members only. This is anything but a barrier. It is an invitation to open the invisible doors between us in a safe space. Unlike generic economic ideas of success, I don’t count meaningful growth in followers but find it life-giving to be able to create a more reciprocal space where we all get to intentionally choose who we spend time with and what kind of content we quench our thirst from.
If this sounds like your kind of watering hole, I’d love to meet you.
