I'm the founder of the School of Modern Meditation and creator of Awareness Insight Meditation (AIM), a contemporary meditation approach that blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology and neuroscience.

Meditation changed my life. What began as a personal practice became the anchor that helped me navigate addiction, self-doubt, perfectionism, anxiety and the many twists and turns of being human. More than a decade into a daily practice, it remains the foundation of how I live, work and relate to myself.

My work has taken me deep into meditation, Buddhist philosophy, yogic teachings and contemplative traditions, alongside trauma-informed training with teachers including Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk. I'm equally inspired by creativity, storytelling, personal transformation and works such as The Artist's Way.

Over the years, I've created meditation and yoga teacher trainings, The Alcohol Reset Pathway, and now The Rising - programmes born from both professional experience and my own ongoing journey of growth.

The life I have today didn't come from confidence or certainty. It came from learning to move through self-consciousness, fear and paralysing self-doubt, and continuing anyway. It came from learning to trust myself, listen to my dreams and take small courageous steps towards them.

Nothing brings me more alive than supporting women to do the same. Not because I've figured it all out, but because I'm still doing the work too. The Rising is an extension of that commitment: a space where we explore, question, heal, create and become more fully ourselves together.
