I can look back on my life, and there is a particular delineation - a line where I realise I was waking up.

This was at the early stages of meditation, yoga, healing, and intuitive classes. I had a moment where I realised that (too) many of the choices I'd made had been less conscious, more conditioned.

When we are children, we look to our families; we follow their rules, attend school, and participate in cultural and religious groups based on their guidance. I went along with a lot of this as a child because a lot of it suited me well. I attended piano lessons, thrived on a few sports teams, and enjoyed the youth group at my church. I made great friends and learned a lot about myself, my strengths, and my preferences.

When it came time to choose a university, my options were mountains or beach. I wasn't sure what to choose. And I remember thinking - my parents enjoyed their time at ASU, so I'll try that and see how it goes.

In the long run, I do believe that ASU was a great fit fo...

Hello beautiful beings, I hope you’re all well! I’ve just returned from some precious time with family in North and South Carolina - filled with good food, sweet tea, and soul-nourishing connection.

Earlier this month, before I knew I’d be traveling back, I began writing a list: What happens when we talk about the things we don’t want to talk about? The uncomfortable stuff. The long-held family secrets. The moments we’d rather leave in the shadows.
And to my surprise, some beautiful things emerged.

I want to share a few reflections with you - not just the hard truths, but the healing that becomes possible when we begin to speak. There were even a few unexpected gifts in the mix, and I hope these words help you see communication in a new light.

The Unspoken Legacy

Most of us, if we look back a few generations, can find an ancestor whose choices brought shame to the family - maybe something illegal, prejudiced, immature, or simply misguided. And so, we don’t talk about them. Those con...

Breaking Cycles Without Breaking Connection-
Healing ancestral pain without rejecting where you come from.

It's a fine line, a dance, the ability to listen, feel, and respond.

Oftentimes, we lean into extremes of right or wrong. There’s a perception of comfort when we think we know something unequivocally, without doubt. But very little actually exists in the extremes. The reality is that life is far more grey - or, more accurately, a multitude of shades and colours. Layers of depth. Complex, living, breathing, and infinitely more interesting than any fixed idea of how something should be.

What often happens is that we witness a family member's behaviour and judge it on a surface level, without understanding the experiences that created it. And we react - rejecting not just the behaviour, but the person themselves. These overcorrections don’t save us from unhealthy emotional responses, or from being abused or manipulated. In fact, they can lead us into those very possibilities. When ...

We’ve been taught to believe that our genes are set in stone. That if our mother had anxiety, we will too. If our grandfather developed a certain illness, it’s only a matter of time before we do. If our ancestors aged poorly, so will we.

But here’s the truth: nothing is fixed - not even your genetic expression.

We don’t just inherit eye colour or bone structure. We inherit belief systems, energetic patterns, and outdated worldviews. These hand-me-downs can shape the way we see the world, and the way our bodies respond to it.

Ancestral experiences live in us, not just emotionally or psychologically, but physically. Illness, imbalance, deterioration, disconnection - so much of it can be tracked across generations. But that doesn’t mean we’re doomed to repeat the past.

Science tells us that only about 5% of diseases are fully penetrant - meaning you will experience them no matter what. And even that, I’d argue, can shift. Because the rest? It's all responsive, adaptable, changeable.

A few months ago, I sat in meditation, asking what the focus of my work should be throughout the Spring. I offered a few ideas, which were gently set aside. And then the word Ancestors sang through.

Ancestral work has always been woven through the healing and teachings I offer. It is so important, because the beliefs, characteristics, emotions, and lived experiences of our family lines are etched into our DNA, present in nearly every cell. Those who came before us have a very real foothold in our present.

One of the biggest surprises in working with genetics is how deeply we can be impacted by people whose names we don’t even know, whose stories were never told. And yet, somehow, we carry their unfinished business.

If an ancestor believed they failed…
If they broke a promise…
If they carried guilt for the choices they made…
We may find ourselves entangled in the after-effects, playing out the punishment, feeling the shame, struggling with invisible burdens.

Many of us come from lineag...

Happy Equinox!

I hope you’re savoring today’s threshold - the shift from deep water into cardinal fire.

At 9:01am GMT this morning, the Sun moved into Aries, marking the Equinox. I sat in ceremony within that passage, setting intentions and allowing the energy to move through me, guiding, shaping, transforming.

I felt called to share the cards I pulled, in case they spark something in you - inspiration, resonance, or a deeper understanding of what’s unfolding in your life.

The Androgyne

This card speaks to movement within polarities, not as a pendulum swing between extremes, but as an awareness that all things exist on a spectrum. Any fixed point contains fluidity within it. It may seem paradoxical, but when we learn to play with the poles rather than getting lost in them, we discover our most aligned place.

Reflect on the key areas of your life - emotional well-being, physical health, sexuality, wealth, spiritual connection, relationships, your bond with Nature. Where do you cur...

Hello Eternal Souls,

I hope you’re feeling the magic of this week—Samhain, Halloween, All Hallows' Eve, Day of the Dead. It’s one of my favorite times of the year, and I’m excited to be attending Edinburgh’s Samhain Fire Festival this evening!

This season always draws my focus to the past. But not my own past—the past of those who came before me. We are the products of lifetimes and generations, carrying an incredible blend of traits, knowledge, talents, memories, perceptions, and lived experiences. It can feel overwhelming to think of everything that has happened to allow us to be here, on this plane, in these forms. We walk as products of time, co-creation, biology, soul connection, and immeasurable earthly and divine influence.

When I feel pessimistic, doubtful, or cynical about my own life or circumstances, I allow my perspective to expand beyond this lifetime—and I remember there is a rhyme and reason to my existence. This brings me peace and a deeper sense of connection.

Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are moving through January with grace and integrity! We are deep within Capricorn Season, which is bringing our focus to Time and the way that wisdom and understanding is carried through it.

Let's take a moment to move ourselves into the Capricorn Archetype. Imagine yourself standing on a mountain, that you have dedicated yourself to climbing, to understanding the terrain, planning your course, and mastering the ascent. It has take time and effort, discipline to continue ahead, a faith that it will benefit yourself and others.

Now see yourself at the top, gazing out at the view, with the ability to see for miles. You can see where others are in their own journeys. You can recognise what you have overcome and learned along the way. You can feel the connection to that focus and dedication, and how it has shaped you over the years.

You have gone through the initiations, and are a more awakened and aware being. From this higher perspective, you ha...

We are within one of my favourite windows of time, the few days around Samhain, All Hallows' Eve, and Day of the Dead. This little portal of time, where the veil thins, always feels little more magical and mysterious, open to possibility.

During these few days, I always take time to meditate with my ancestors, and explore my genetic lines, and I do this for a few reasons.

One of the questions I ask myself regularly is whether I am living my own path, or that of my ancestors'. I chose to be born into a family with a lot of religious leanings, often conservative, not always in alignment with what I believe. But they were and are in many ways dedicated, selfless, giving, and devoted to connecting with God or the Divine. I used to judge them for our differences, and then I began to recognise that we were using a lot of the same gifts and virtues, and had many of the same goals in mind. I too want to help people connect with the Divine.

So I look for my ancestors' gifts, virtues, and way...

Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are feeling the benefits of this eclipse season! It ends with the New Moon this weekend, so spend some time in meditation, healing and gaining insight until then!

This past weekend, I sat in the sunshine and pondered the big questions of life. Whenever there is an eclipse, we are urged to look at themes around Destiny, Dharma, and whether we are following the truest path, or getting distracted or delayed along the way. I spent time speaking with my ancestors and gained a few beautiful insights, which might inspire you too. 

I know that I chose my genetic line for many reasons, and over the past year, I have been asking about where the paths of my ancestors align with my own, and where they may not. I want to connect with their wisdom and expansive experiences, but without getting caught in karmic cycles along the way. I also want to ensure that I am benefiting from their insight, but without their opinions clouding my own clarity.

After some t...
