About me
If you've found your way to this page, I'd guess something similar is true for you. From the outside your life looks fine — steady, sensible, the thing you worked for. Underneath it, there's a quiet feeling that it isn't quite yours, and you can't always explain why.
I know that feeling well, because I lived inside it for years.
I started out in finance in London. I did what I was told would make a good life, and by every outside measure it was working. But I'd always been drawn to the bigger questions — who am I actually, and what am I here to do — and the further I went in that career, the further I seemed to get from myself. That pull eventually sent me looking, and over the years it took me through Ayurveda, through psychotherapy, and through deep, ceremonial inner work. In 2012 I had the experience that changed everything: alongside the therapy I was doing, it opened up the childhood pain I'd been carrying without realising it, and my life started moving fast after that. What became clear was that I no longer wanted to be a banker. Four years later, I quit.
What kept me there for so long wasn't really the work. It was the fear of walking away from a comfortable, secure salary — I was scared of losing it, and of what would happen to me without it. But once I finally decided to jump, I realised that life is actually full of infinite possibilities, and of course I found a way to rebuild my life around who I truly am. The things I was most afraid of never actually happened. I can honestly say I have never been happier, and I've never felt more myself.
In 2014 I started studying astrology, and it did something I hadn't found anywhere else. It gave me language for who I already was — my strengths, my gifts, my fears of expressing my emotions — and it made sense of the whole shape of my life in a way nothing else had. That's still how I use it today. Astrology, the way I work with it, isn't a forecast of what will happen to you. It's a map of who you already are. I've spent every year since then helping other people find the same thing in their own charts.
Here's what I've seen again and again in that work, and what I eventually understood about myself. Long before any job, most of us learned which parts of ourselves were welcomed and approved of by our parents and teachers, and which parts it was safer not to show. As children we needed that love and approval, so we led with the parts that were welcome and quietly kept the rest hidden. If you were the one who was told you were too much — too sensitive, too emotional, too deeply feeling for the rooms you were in — you probably learned to become the calm, easy, undemanding one instead. There was never anything wrong with you for that. It's how you kept everyone close. But over time you got so good at being who everyone needed you to be that you slowly lost touch with who you truly are underneath. And the sensitivity you learned to hide was never the problem — it was the most alive part of you.
This is what I call The Authenticity Gap. There's a distance between who you really are inside and the version of yourself you show the world all day, and living in that distance has a cost. Mostly it just leaves you tired in a way no holiday ever seems to fix.
The good news, and I mean this, is that the version of you that learned to keep everyone happy can be rewired. That's the whole of my work now, and it happens in three ways: one-to-one consultations, where we sit down with your chart and you finally get to see yourself clearly; retreats, where the deeper work happens in a held, ceremonial space over several days; and Rewire & Rise, a twelve-week programme for who's ready to stop managing the feeling and actually come home to who you really are.
I won't hand you rigid answers about your life — that's not how any of this works, and you'd know if I tried. What I will do is show you what I see, plainly and with care, and then explore it with you until it's yours.
If any of this sounds like your life, start with a 1:1 consultation.
