About

I am an energy coach, healing facilitator and animal communicator. I help people and animals return to their innate truth — to the mental, emotional and intuitive blueprint that existed long before life, society, trauma or circumstance layered over it.

I work with humans, horses, hounds and the hereafter. All of them have one thing in common — somewhere along the way, their energy got disrupted, shut down, or redirected. My work is to help them find their innate flow again, and reclaim the life force that was always theirs.

More About Me

As a child, I had a strong yet unfiltered sensitivity to energy. Without context, understanding or guidance, that level of perception felt overwhelming — being flooded with feelings that weren't mine, knowing things I "shouldn't" know with no framework for it, emotional overwhelm in crowds, sensing souls I couldn't shut out, and feeling profoundly different, and often quite alone because of it.

The attunement came later. I had to put in the work — learning to distinguish my energy from others', my feelings from theirs, trusting my intuitive signals, and building the inner language to accurately interpret what I was receiving. And knowing what to say, and often more importantly, what not to say.
After all, I am a guide — not an instructor.

I currently live in Johannesburg, South Africa, with my family and our animals. I can most often be found walking in nature on quiet mornings. I absolutely adore deep and fascinating conversations, the company of animals and growing my own herbs — am a work in progress with the veggies. I love homemade soup, sourdough bread, and pasta. There are never enough hours in a day for all the books I wish to read. I am a latent nerd who loves learning, science, astronomy and astrology — and as a true Aries, completing anything in the hobby department is its own achievement. Which is why finishing my son's blanket felt nothing short of epic.

What I Believe

I believe that when we change our energy, we change our life.

I believe we are complex, luminous, interconnected beings, and that true change happens when we work across all of these layers, not just one. That healing is not a product to be purchased, but a remembering to be invited back into yourself.

I believe that we feel awesome when we live fully, in our skin, connected with our soul or Self and in sync with our innate wisdom and intuition! I believe this is fundamental to health, and happiness.

It's not what you look at that matters,
it's what you see.

Henry David Thoreau

Energy Coaching

Energy coaching demystifies your mind-body energy systems — giving you the insider knowledge and personalised tools to understand, protect and raise your own energy. Because your energy directly affects everything.

Those unexamined beliefs, patterns and illusions are like holes in your energy bucket — silently draining you, creating chaos, strained relationships, financial stress, and contributing to dis-ease. We find them. We clear them at the root.

My process then re-educates the body-mind — expanding your awareness, reducing reactivity, and creating new neural circuitry with beneficial feedback loops that open the door to deep peace, vitality and wellbeing. No cookie-cutter system, because there is no one quite like you in the whole world.

Bio-Energy Healing & Clearing

Bio-energy healing works with your body's own energy systems — the ones that process and relay information to every single cell. It has roots in ancient practice across every culture and tradition, and quantum physics now gives us the intellectual framework to understand what healers have always known instinctively, and what decades of documented results continue to confirm: we are part of a vast, invisible field of energy that responds to consciousness.

Because we are not just physical beings. We are a complex, interconnected system of body, mind, energy, emotion and consciousness — and true change happens when we work across all of these layers. You are more than meets the eye. Literally.

Animal Communication

I never thought it odd as a child to talk to my cats — or to hear their 'voice' or see their 'pictures' in my mind. It didn't occur to me that animal communication was even a 'thing'. I assumed I was perhaps just making it up in my head to feel connected to something, because I'd always felt different. I never quite fit 'normal'.

It took years, a wonderful opportunity at a stable, and a lot of self-education to understand that what felt like imagination was actually reception. Animals communicate constantly — not in words, but in feelings, images, knowing and sensation. I think we may all be wired to receive it — it might simply be a matter of fine-tuning our frequency to their station, the way you would a radio.

After my first encounter, I was divinely guided to a book by Henry Blake called Talking With Horses — and that was that. I fell deeply in love, and into service, with animals.

I will challenge you, champion you and guide you as you build strong, embodied thinking and feeling habits, so that your life is never the same again, in the best possible way.

How I Work

I meet you wherever you're at

Awaken &
Level up

When you're stuck
 and sick of it

We identify the energetic leaks, inherited patterns and sneaky stories hidden and held in your body that have been blocking, breaking or draining you. You learn how to increase your awareness, agency, and enhance your ability to sense and direct your own energy. This is where you write your own adventure, sometimes for the first time in your life.

Heal &
Restore

Rest, release, or repair for the body and mind

Deep, restorative sessions that work with your body's own energetic systems to release what has been held and restore what has been depleted. Heal & Restore is for when your body or your animal's body has said 'Enough', and you have to make healing a priority before anything else.

Energetic Communication

Conversations with animals
or those across the divide

Some of the most important conversations happen with those who cannot speak in words — an animal who shares your life, a loved one who has crossed over, a sacred soul preparing to leave through illness or otherwise. I hold these spaces with reverence and gentleness, and facilitate the connection and communication.

Contact Me

I am based in Johannesburg and work worldwide — distance is no barrier for coaching, distance healing facilitation or animal communication.

You don't need to know exactly what you need. Send me a message and tell me a little about where you're at — or what you'd like to change. We'll set up a quick call to see if we're a good fit, and take it from there.
