If you’re curious about how I got here….
Four decades before this business was born, I came into the world in lush New Zealand, vibrantly & mystically connected to nature and the earth. Refusing to wear shoes, I ran barefoot surrounded by clucking chickens and sleek, graceful Dobermans with the bright, pungent scents of eucalyptus trees and feijoa fruit drifting across the back garden. I could happily lose myself in the magic of a blade of grass and counted luminous stars in vast inky black skies.
Rural island life didn’t last long. A move to Australia found me wriggling my toes in warm golden sand and swimming in sparkling oceans dotted with translucent jellyfish. I was also introduced to the bustle of city life. I studied music & gymnastics and first learned the joy of consciously connecting to my body through vibrational sound and movement, which still inform my life today.
Later at age nine, my Levi’s covered in dust, I unearthed blue and white bird-shaped beads and fragments of painted pottery – Native American relics excavated during a brief relocation to an Arizona ranch with views of the wide horizons of the Sonoran desert. This sparked a lifelong curiosity for discovering the mysteries of the past and respect for cultures that live in harmony with nature.
My parents were true global citizens, and by the time I was 18 I had lived on several continents and traveled widely. With so much change and necessary adaptation in my world, I intuitively sought security and stability through finding patterns and deeper interconnectivity that transcended language and culture. It helped that I was naturally curious and fascinated with how many ways there are to live.
In London my passions for detailed observation, untangling histories, and writing led me to a research degree in art history and material studies. I loved big city life, being surrounded by the energies of creativity and intellectual stimulation, and I met my husband. Still, I craved inner stillness and peace. Thus began a 25 years and counting meditation journey.
Eventually moving closer to family in California, I immersed myself in the West Coast culture of self-development, eventually opening a holistic hypnotherapy practice in 2005.
I had also fallen into a successful corporate career in real estate working in prime locations like Beverly Hills and Malibu. After all that moving about it made sense for me to guide people to find inviting places to call home. But despite the beauty of California coastal living and the lifestyle perks of the job the stress was immense and my heart wasn’t in it. I longed for something different but wasn’t sure what that was.
Stress & burnout caught up with me and I experienced a crash, a painful period of loss and transformation. My health returned through applying and eventually teaching yoga therapy and Ayurvedic principles. On this healing journey I embarked on spiritual pilgrimages to India and Nepal studying Advaita Vedanta at Sivananda & Dayananda ashrams and continuing studentship in Vedic Astrology.
It was a long, winding and at times intense road to arrive at what before I had understood only intellectually: the gut-level knowing that no matter how prestigious the exterior, true security, fulfillment and happiness lie within. Through intimate connection to our hearts and the Divine, which some call Nature or God, and through understanding and fully accepting ourselves with compassion and grace.
The last 5 years find me mostly in mystical Bali, where I stay in a remote diving village with ancient temples and volcanoes etched on the horizon. My sweet rescue dog Zoe runs happy and free on black sand beaches. From the shore I paddle to wildly colorful reefs alive with otherworldly corals & tropical fish. Our new kitten Tourmaline who should have been named Skycat welcomes us home mewing from the tops of swaying palms.
Here I’m nourished by nature, community & serve through humanitarian work. I’m humbled and deeply grateful to live my heart’s calling: guiding & healing through the multidimensional lens of Vedic Astrology.
