Growing up in the Middle East, periodically visiting the West, I was really curious about cultural and social conditioning, identities, religion and spirituality. After school, I moved to France, where I studied sociology and anthropology, and during that period I experienced challenges in my physical and emotional wellbeing. Conventional solutions couldn’t offer relief at the time, and so I began to explore different forms of natural health and spiritual practice, which has continued over the last 20+ years and brought much continual support and positive transformation. My earlier path lead me to train in naturopathy, nutrition, energy healing and yoga. These all helped to support and still do, however, they didn’t get to the root, offering fundamental and lasting change, the way my meditative work has and continues to do. The last 15+ years I have spent training with, and/or being influenced formatively by, the following teachers; Byron Katie, Adyashanti and his students Jon Bernie and Marlies Myoku Cocheret, The Presence Process by MB, Kiran Trace, and Pamela Wilson, among many others.

I hold a level III Counselling Award and am working towards level IV. My working practice is supported and informed by regular psychotherapist supervision, spiritual mentorship, and peer group support. I am also a member of the ASI (Association of Spiritual Integrity), and have been involved in their piloting of a peer support and education network for those working in a spiritual therapeutic, caring, teaching or leadership role.

In my facilitation practice, I work with anyone who would like to have a better knowledge and relationship with their mind and emotions, how to heal themselves and also those new to, and interested in, beginning a meditation practice. I specialise in those needing support with challenging and repetitive life patterns and emotional states, such as; depression, grief, guilt, shame and self anger, as well as big life transitions, such as pregnancy, loss and illness. Many of the above, I have been through myself, and have used these same tools to practice my way back to more clarity and better health.
