ABOUT

Coming from a lineage of Celtic healers and medicine women, I am an integrative psychotherapeutic expressive arts counsellor, trauma therapist and self development coach with many years of experience, training and background in integrative and expressive arts based psychotherapy, trauma informed therapy, safe spaces and safeguarding practice, developmental psychology and neuroscience, music, art, storytelling, movement, dance and somatic based therapy, sound healing, energy work, Celtic shamanic journeying, heart coherence meditation and mindfulness.

 

It is my privilege and calling to support those around me to feel empowered and more and more present, safe, enlivened and well through all, but most significantly challenging times of their life. 

I offer a creative, warm, human, whole hearted and soulful approach to my therapeutic, teaching and community and group based work. I intend to always think and meet others with an open heart and mind. Flexibly. Honestly. Authentically. To be in space together, human to human, soul to soul, heart to heart with open invitation to share and experience the full spectrum of this human life and a good dose of humour! I hope you feel so met, witnessed, seen and supported in my presence that you can deeply relax, drop in, explore and access your inherent potential to create peace, inspiration and vitality. 

 

I am based in Lisbon.

I work in person and online.
