In her own words…
“I work and play with a host of trailblazing artists, activists, creatives and cultural provocateurs around the world. I have been described as a weaver of worlds and moonlight as a curator, producer, storyteller, teacher, student, writer, mentor, communicator, strategist and creative consultant.
I have always been a bit of a rebel with a cause. When I connect the dots I realise that my sense of purpose and service really comes alive in times of crisis and change.
I believe that we were made for these times and we are the ones we have been waiting for.
Thanks to a few dark-nights-of-the-soul I discovered the power of yoga and meditation to heal and effect transformation both inside and out. I took a few roads less travelled, trained as a teacher in the Kundalini, Sivananda & Anusara yoga methods and somehow found my way home.
Connecting people and places is one of my favourite things. This known as tracing in Ireland and is part of my DNA. I have discovered that this is also a cultural past time in Iceland.
I am passionate about my homeland of Ireland and downtime involves reading actual books, listening to podcasts, dancing, forest walks and wild swimming. I also have a penchant for long baths, remote lighthouses and the silvery moon.”
