My Journey
Writing has always been a deep and innate passion of mine, though it was discovering a great love for the lyrical nature of poetry that profoundly changed me. My debut collection of poetry Once Were Wounds, emerged from this love during an emotionally vulnerable and tender time in my life. Turning to my notebook for release and understanding, I found myself inscribing everything from singular words and rhetorical statements, to lyrical musings and fully formed poems.
Over the last decade both reading and writing poetry has become therapeutic practise; a sacred and powerful expression of both my own humanity and divinity. Through its ethereal and spiritual essence, I have found a creative avenue where I feel the freedom to share my most genuine and authentic self. It is also a way for me to create something beautiful and everlasting from my experiences.
I’m passionate about finding fresh and vibrant ways of describing familiar feelings. Words that both invigorate and cleanse the senses, where memories and sensations are evoked. Encompassing the reader in empathy and understanding, I’ll always choose words that have the potential to foster genuine connection and provide overwhelming nourishment for your soul.
I joyfully released my first self-published collection of poetry and prose, Once Were Wounds, in January 2021.
Reminiscing on this sacred time of writing, I'm reminded of the sustenance, nourishment and sense of emotional vitality that was infused within me throughout the creative writing process.
Writing Once Were Wounds was one of the most extraordinary and illuminating experiences for me, and one that I could feel was enriched with an abundance of potential.
I learned that we really meet ourselves within an intentional and devotional creative practice. I recognised that the creative process is more than just bringing an idea from inception to completion (although this is of course a significant undertaking in itself). I realised with great tenderness and sincerity that the creative process is a profound journey of personal healing and transformation.
I realised that the true purpose and privilege of immersing ourselves within a creative process, is who we will become and how we will be changed because of it.
I wanted other women to experience this journey of incredible transformation for themselves. I wanted other women to feel the power of their own creative potential simmering within them. I wanted other women to find deep enrichment by connecting intimately with their sacred story through intuitive heart expression.
My signature coaching experience Creative Power flourished from this vision, and solidified my passion for sharing the incredible potential of the creative process with others.
Around the time I was brainstorming ideas and visioning the possibilities for this creative coaching series in early 2022, I was shuffling through a deck of oracle cards one night. While I wasn’t searching for or asking about anything in particular, the card “Creative Power” happened to fall out and reveal itself. On this occasion the words resonated so strongly with me, and I would love to share the message I received from this card with you…
“Creative energy changes what already exists into something else. As the living portal through which this happens, creativity is an energy and practice that will always change us - exactly how is impossible to predict from the outset. The ongoing tension between knowing and not knowing what we are doing is the creative process at its rawest. Once we accept the call to creative action, we are on an often accelerated wild, and primal ride that requires our trust, surrender, and dedication. Trust the creative process and surrender to its power and your inherent resourcefulness.”
