Rich with hidden treasures.

Open your inmost chamber and light its lamp” ~Shiva Rea

​​​​Hello Beautiful Being, ​​​

I spent most of my life looking for home ~ not the kind you find on a map, but the one

that lives somewhere between your ribs...the resting place of the soul.
I travelled the world chasing that feeling ~ teaching English, working in fine-dining restaurants and nightclubs,

volunteering on projects, leading yoga retreats, even working in addiction centres and corporate wellness.

I tried almost everything: chasing stillness, chasing chaos, chasing love, chasing spirit.

Underneath it all was a restless ache ~ a creative pulse that kept whispering there’s more.
More truth. More aliveness. More love.

So I wandered. I fell down. I got back up, over and over again. This is the spiral path.

I’ve faced addiction, anxiety, assaults, the law, heartbreak, motherhood, and the madness of trying to fit into a world that often feels upside-down. I’ve sat in ashrams. monasteries and motel rooms, drummed with shamans, danced with chaos, and

found God in the middle of my own breakdowns.

What I eventually realized is that what I’d been seeking all along wasn’t out there.
It was sanctuary ~ the place inside where the noise finally stops.
And once I learned to build that within myself, I knew I could create it for others.

Now, that’s what I do. I create sanctuary.

Spaces that feel like a big exhale ~ where the armour drops, the nervous system softens, and life starts to hum again.
They smell like incense and oils, sound like laughter and music, and feel like

being both wildly alive and completely safe at the same time.

​

My work blends everything I’ve lived and learned ~ the sacred and the streetwise, the mystical and the practical.
I draw from Shamanic and Tantric traditions, yoga therapy, nervous-system science, and the simple, ancient wisdom of nature.
I can talk to you about your trauma, your business, your dreams, your sex life,

your spirit guides, or your pets ~ it’s all part of the same story.

I’m here to walk with you ~ through the dark, the light, and the messy in-between ~ until you remember that you were never lost.
You were just becoming.

​

I’m a mystic with a wild heart, a mother of fire and soil , and a woman who’s lived enough life to know that

the sacred is hiding in the ordinary.​

​

Welcome to the Sanctuary.
