About this Substack
Rewilding is not only a process of protecting an environment by returning it to its naturally regenerative state - it’s also a psycho-spiritual ability we all have to reclaim our natural state of wellbeing, without the influence of external advice and internal conditionings that can further disconnect us from our essential nature.
We are what we seek and sometimes we just need to unlearn and remember what’s already wise, whole, and deeply wild within.
Through nature-based metaphor and non-dual embodiment, I handcraft meditations, poetry, and symbolic stories to help you remember that the home you seek is already within…in fact, it is who you are.
This work thoughtfully combines somatic experiencing, Jungian psychology, spirit-ecology, and the heart of non-duality: suffering is caused by the illusion of separation.
Through this work, I offer you a grounded and experiential sense of what it feels like to return to your innate wholeness, without negating parts of you that are ‘not good/positive/spiritual.’
Daily Affirmation Series
I’ve just started a daily affirmation series on Substack Threads. If you would like short, daily reminders of your innate wholeness, then this is your new home.
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 are currently having a two-year break from the Nordic winters down 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 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. I reply to all emails :)

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.
