Soul-based Counsel & Holistic Biography Work
When it’s time to turn inward, I can meet you there.
Words like “soul” and “spiritual” have often been worn thin by overuse, cliché, or commercialism — not because they lack truth, but because they’ve too often been used without depth, coherence, or lived experience.
I use these terms with care and intent — not as vague metaphors, but to name realities that bridge the material and immaterial; the human and the sacred.
Biography and sacred enquiry offer a grounded and respectful way to explore these inner dimensions — honouring the soul’s role as mediator between the seen and unseen.
This work is informed by anthroposophical principles — a spiritual science that recognises the soul as a mediator between the material and the spiritual, and life as a path of inner development. It is not bound to belief, but is rooted in attentiveness, inner development, and trust in the unfolding wisdom of a human life.
Through Biography Work, we may explore:
Life rhythms and transitions
Key moments and patterns
The dance between Inner and Outer life
Creative insight through artistic expression
Make sense of your path. Reconnect with what matters.
Whether it’s a single issue, or a deeper biographical journey unfolding, I offer a compassionate, structured space where soul work can begin.
About Me
My path to becoming a Biography Work Consultant began during my training as a Steiner kindergarten teacher in my early 40’s. I experienced a moment of profound recognition. That moment later led to a three-year training in Holistic Biography Work.
Like many true paths, mine hasn’t been linear. It’s been rich with thresholds, blessings, and challenges—each one deepening my understanding of what it means to be human.
While I don’t follow a specific faith or tradition, I live in deep relationship with the spiritual world—one that recognises the source we all share.
I have a broad range of lived experience, including a professional background which reflects my strengths. Of all the various adventures, parenthood has held the most profound lessons for me. I have learnt that growth is lifelong and change is always possible, no matter where we are on our journey, or how fixed our lives may feel.
Today, I bring all of this to my soul work with others. I provide thoughtful guidance and practical tools and steps to support your journey toward self-awareness and integration.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, coherence, or simply a compassionate companion to walk alongside you, I’m here to help you uncover the deeper meaning of your unique life journey.
