I know how it feels.

Before I became a somatic transformation practitioner and meditation teacher, I had an entirely different life.

I worked internationally as a model and stuntwoman - performing on productions including Mad Max: Fury Road, Avengers, Cinderella and Guardians of the Galaxy, and doubling for actresses Charlize Theron, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Karen Gillan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Elizabeth Olsen. It was a life of extreme physical capability, constant movement, and a kind of freedom that I had no reason to believe wouldn't last.

In 2015, an accident on set left me in a coma for three weeks.

When I came back, everything had changed. I was living with brain trauma, severe physical injuries, ongoing neurological damage and chronic pain that has not gone away. The career I had built - and the identity that came with it - was gone. Alongside the physical reality came profound emotional suffering: grief, loss, disorientation, a complete need to rebuild.

It was the hardest thing I have ever faced. It is also the reason I can do the work I do.

A practice that became something else entirely

I had been a dedicated practitioner of Tibetan Buddhist meditation for 15 years before the accident. It was a practice that was sacred to me and deeply informed my life - not a wellness habit, but a sustained, disciplined path of self-inquiry and inner transformation.

After the accident, that practice became something far deeper than a passion. It became the ground I stood on when there was nothing else.

Through my own direct experience, I learned how to meet pain - physical and emotional - without being destroyed by it. How to work with the nervous system, not against it. How to sit inside grief, fear and disorientation and find, within them, something more spacious than the suffering itself.

This is not something I teach conceptually. It is something I have lived, practised and continue to embody every single day.

Even in the midst of severe ongoing pain, it is possible to find clarity, meaning and moments of genuine inner peace. I know this because I live it.

What I bring to the work

My approach draws on a substantial range of training alongside that lived experience:

• Somatic transformation practice — working directly with the body, nervous system and awareness to create lasting change

• 25 years of Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice

• Trauma-informed therapeutic approaches

• Transpersonal psychology coaching

• Compassionate Inquiry principles (as developed by Gabor Maté)

• Jungian-informed perspectives

• Somatic movement awareness practices (Anna Murray-Preece)

• Psycho-somatic healing approaches

• Mindfulness and awareness-based practice

But more than the list of modalities, what I bring is the ability to hold a genuinely complex human experience - to be present with someone who is suffering, confused or stuck - and to work with them at the level where change actually happens.

Each session is tailored, responsive and rooted in what is actually arising for you.

Who I work with

I tend to work with people who are motivated and self-aware, and genuinely ready to engage in a deeper process - not looking for validation or a quick fix, but willing to be honest with themselves.

They are often navigating one or more of the following:

• Chronic pain or long-term health conditions - particularly those who have exhausted conventional medical routes and are looking for a more integrated approach

• Complex anxiety, burnout or nervous system dysregulation that hasn't resolved with standard approaches

• Trauma or loss - including the kind that has been 'processed' intellectually but still lives in the body

• A spiritual path, or significant spiritual experiences, that needs grounded and experienced support to integrate

• A sense of disconnection from themselves, or a feeling that something important remains unexplored

My clients come from across the UK, USA and internationally.

You do not need prior experience with meditation or therapy. You need only a genuine willingness to show up.

What working together looks like

I offer private, one-to-one sessions online. This is a confidential, carefully paced space - trauma-informed, non-judgemental and deeply attentive to your individual needs.

I do not rush. I do not push. And I do not offer reassurances I cannot honestly give.

What I offer instead is presence, experience and an approach that has been genuinely tested - in my own life, and in the lives of people I have worked with over the years.

For those who are ready for a longer, more sustained engagement, I work with clients over three months in a private mentorship format - regular sessions, personalised practices and ongoing personal support as the work deepens.

If you feel ready

If something in what you have read feels relevant to where you are - I invite you to get in touch.

I offer a short initial conversation to explore whether working together feels right for both of us. There is no obligation, and I will always be honest with you about whether I believe I can help.
