Love is the answer. 

 

I’ve always been a deep feeler. As a little girl, I felt everything fully - joy, curiosity, love. It wasn’t just in my head; it was in the way I laughed, the way I cried, the way I opened my heart to the world.

But life pulled me away from that natural way of being. My home became chaotic, my father left, and before I turned 18, my first boyfriend died. The grief was heavy, and I didn’t know how to express it or process it. Slowly, I learned to protect myself by closing off.

​

For years, I felt trapped inside myself. I was depressed - heavy, quiet, disconnected from life - and anxious, often caught in panic that felt like it would overwhelm me at any moment. I could see the world around me, but I felt distant from it, like I was watching rather than living.

​

I tried to make sense of life and of who I was. I studied psychology (BA) and wrote my dissertation on adult attachment, exploring how early experiences shape the adults we become. I began counseling children at Childline, hoping to help them feel supported and cared for - and maybe, in the process, to feel a little better myself. The work was meaningful, but it also amplified my own inner struggle.

​

After graduating, I traveled the world, searching for space from my own feelings and the heaviness I carried inside. Those years of exploration, spiritual learning, and self-discovery helped me understand my trauma and patterns - but understanding alone couldn’t heal what I felt. I still carried a deep loneliness, a sense that something in me wasn’t seen or loved, and the anxiety remained a quiet, constant companion.

​

Returning to Scotland, I pursued a teaching degree (PGDE), hoping to make a difference in children’s lives. I taught for a few years, but my heart remained restless and closed. I leaned on sex, alcohol, and drugs to cope, even though I had people around me who cared. I couldn’t fully feel them, or myself.

​

Then, after sabotaging a relationship I deeply cared about - a reflection of my inner world showing up in my life - I began therapy. That year of weekly sessions changed everything. I deepened my self-awareness, began to reprogram old patterns, and discovered that real transformation comes from the body as much as the mind.

​

I moved to Costa Rica for a year, immersing myself in somatics, nervous system regulation, and spiritual practice. I continued therapy, repaired relationships, practiced forgiveness, and learned to speak to myself with kindness. I reconnected with my body, allowed myself to truly feel again, and began to see life through more loving eyes. I stopped using sex, alcohol, and drugs as a crutch. I learned to be present with myself and my emotions, and gradually my heart began to open. The way I related to myself shifted, and the world around me responded - life felt fuller, more vibrant, more connected.

​

When I returned home in 2023, I knew I wanted to work with adults and reconnect with my psychology roots. I studied psychotherapy (CTA), became certified in life coaching and holistic psychology, and deepened my knowledge of integrated attachment theory. I started my own business, stepping into the unknown with a mixture of fear, curiosity and courage, ready to create the life I wanted and help others do the same.

​

Discovering intimacy and tantra felt like coming home. Time spent in India and Thailand, and completing my tantra teacher training, grounded me in loving presence, heart-opening, and embracing all parts of myself. Tantra taught me to make space for discomfort, to meet myself fully, and to hold that depth for others. Returning to Scotland, I began teaching tantra, leading events and online sessions, bringing this embodied approach to connection into the world.

​

Today, I bring both worlds to my clients: the depth of psychological insight and the transformative power of somatic and tantric practice. My work moves from awareness into felt experience, release, and healing. I help people release what holds them back, reconnect with themselves, and step into love - for themselves, for others, and for life.

​

Now, I feel grateful - for life, for myself, and for the relationships I’ve cultivated. I know it’s possible to move into openness, even after years of feeling closed off. The relationship you have with yourself is everything, and it is exactly where our work begins.

​

If this resonates, and you long for more love, connection, and joy, I would love to work with you and guide you toward a life that feels deeply alive.

​

With love,
