Born and raised in England, with predominantly Greek and Welsh heritage, I began my professional life by graduating as an osteopath in 1993 from the British School of Osteopathy, London, England (now Health Sciences University).

 

With more than three decades of experience, the underlying inquiry of my work has remained continuous: an exploration of health, healing, and what it means to live from what is deeply true.

​

My path has included many years of living and working as an osteopath in England, New Zealand, and Australia. During that time I was able to deepen my yoga practice and also progressed into teaching yoga. After relocating to the United States and settling in the Pacific Northwest, I spent some years teaching osteopathy across the United States and Europe.

​

Over time, the focus of my inquiry moved progressively to the deeper essence of being. This calling led me to earn my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern Oregon University.

 

The field of counseling offers a direct, grounded space to meet with people navigating the discomforts, transitions, and deeper questions of human life, and to support them from the perspective of essence seeking authentic expression within daily reality.

The listening presence I discovered and developed throughout my life continues to inform how I meet people now; attending to what is spoken, what remains unspoken, and what may be seeking expression.

 

These years have shaped a way of working that is attuned to coherence, sovereignty, and reverent presence. I do not presume to define another person’s truth; I seek to meet each person with respect for their own emergence, pacing, and integrity.

​

Outside of clinical work, I find renewal in nature, outdoor activities, meditation, and yoga. I cherish time with family and friends, and I engage in playing intuitive, meditative music on the piano, guitar, and flute. I also write poetry, allowing language to give voice to an expression of the subtle, living truth of existence.
