From living a scripted life to authoring my own…

The Story

Music was my favourite thing when I was young; I would come home from school, put on a record, and dance and sing. It was a completely natural thing to do, and not once did I care what anyone thought or how good or bad I was.

Then in my twenties I moved to London with my guitar and songs I had written, and played in iconic bars like the 12 Bar Club.

I wrote and I sang, and all the while, was crippled with fear and doubt in my ability, until eventually the fear became greater than my desire to perform.

So I stopped… For about 20 years I didn’t write or play a note. Instead I hid myself away and wrote books – what I realise now was a giant deviation (distraction) away from something I found too terrifying to contemplate, despite a constant nagging, in every fibre of my being, that it was something I needed to do.

Then, through a variety of synchronicities that I only later understood, my family and I moved from the UK to New Zealand, three weeks before the first lockdown, and it was here that I rediscovered writing music. I played at the occasional open mic, and just thought I was doing it for ‘fun’. But through all the awareness I now have around how we create our own life experience and how we get to choose how that goes, and that everything happens for our greatest and highest good, I now realise that the one thing I have been resisting my entire life, is the one thing I should have been doing all along…being true to myself and what I desire, no matter what others think or say.And, it’s never too late to start!

The Mission

I created 12 Creative Steps to a Fulfilling Life because I want people to experience the opportunity to choose differently for themselves. For them to understand that they are here to create their own life experience in the same way I have. And that it’s never too late to start.

All that creative essence in us that creates A life, also creates OUR life - so LIVE LIVE LIVE!

Why I Work Differently

I believe that writing and journaling are the most direct paths to the subconscious. But we don't stop at the page. My approach combines:

  • The 12-Step Framework: A structured roadmap from your old life to your new one.

  • Creative Expression: Using drawing and writing to bypass the "logical" mind.

  • Mind-Body Connection: Incorporating energy work, meditation and visualisation to ensure your new path is aligned with your physical and emotional truth.

I am a devoted student of Dr Sue Morter and have trained extensively at the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics. I am certified as a Life Coach, Reiki Practitioner, Counsellor, Remote Healer, and Intuitive Guide.

I am a firm believer that every day is a fresh page, and it is never too late to
change the ending of your story.
