If you have chosen to take some time and read this section, then I genuinely feel honoured you want to know a little about me! Whilst I understand that in this online connection space, it is vital for people to relate to the human behind the screen, I must admit that this is the most challenging piece of text I had to write on this website. I have written the “About Me” hundreds of times over several years. They all had various forms, none of which I felt comfortable publishing, and this is the reason why.

We all have a story, an expedition of life. The rises and falls, happiness and sadness, love and joy, birth and death, grief and loss. We all have times in life when we have felt euphoria, dancing on the clouds; life can’t get better than this, and then we are stuck, unable to move forward from the rubble that “hurricane life” just left us surrounded in.

Our soul journeys are our own. They are not graded on a scale of adversity. They are individual; no story is better or worse than another - just unique. So, whilst I have a story to share, I know that everyone does.

Many people I have met along the way have suggested that I write books about my story, that it could even be a movie – the hardships and the comebacks could inspire others- but in my mind, there wasn’t anything to tell.

The events that have challenged me in life are just that – events, they never felt like points on the dart board of my shitty life.

Don’t get me wrong – I am definitely not one for “it is all love and light”. Life is not and I am not. Life can suck, and believe me that in those times of challenge, I wallowed, I cried, I stamped my feet (well, to be honest after a serious health incident I couldn’t physically stamp my feet anymore, but when I regained the strength in my legs I made sure I also regained the stamping skill) I swore, got angry, screamed and yelled, drank alcohol, ate terrible food, fuelled my body with caffeine, developed a sugar addiction that would shame Willy Wonka and the oompa loompas, gained 30 kilos, ran away and hid, planned suicide and generally hated life (oh and did I say I swore?)

I was stuck – for a long time. Stuck in the agony of it, stuck in the memories, stuck in the shame and the guilt – a shattered version of the person who once flew high and appeared to have it all. I asked, “Why me?”

I questioned who I was and where I fit every day and blamed everyone else.

As I stayed there in my pit, days passed by, and then years passed by.

I drowned myself in spiritual mentors, followed the best of the best, and spent unsurmountable sums searching for “the answer” (which escalated my already considerable debt in the process), but took no action – and days, then years, passed me by.

Until…. I can’t tell you when or why, but one day, the desire to become unstuck became greater than the uncomfortable comfort of being stuck and in the smallest increments, not even one day at a time, just when I could manage the energy, I chose a change – maybe I changed a food choice at that moment, or maybe I changed what I listened to on my podcast, or perhaps I decided to walk on a sunny day and then one day,

I can’t tell you when my life looked different – but I can tell you why.

I began to see my life and the events that happen in it on a day-to-day basis as “education”, and I was simply on a path of taking subjects at the "University of Earth and Human Existence."

It was from here that The Heart Compass was born. Because I knew first hand that when we feel lost or unsure of our direction, the most significant loss we experience is TIME. We can lose days, weeks, years, and even decades stuck just existing and life is not meant to be an existence – it is meant to be lived.

I wanted to help people find that direction again.

My credibility to act as a guide for you in your journey should not lie in grading or comparing the level of adversity I have overcome or even in my accomplishments; it lies in whether your heart feels a resonance with who I am today. If you are seeking to decide whether I am the person to help you at this point in life, then I ask, sit with your heart; the answer will be heard in its whispers.

As a medium, I fulfil the sense of purpose I have for helping and healing in connecting the spirit of those still in the physical with the spirit of those who we can no longer physically touch.

As a psychic, I aim to give you some clarity when life gets murky whilst ensuring that you retain the power of free will and maintain the ability to write your own story.

As a coach, I see myself as a compass – someone who can show you a path and give you a map, but it’s up to you to decide which road you travel and make movements along it. Whether you shuffle, walk or sprint is up to you – I’ll encourage you to keep moving forward, and most of all, I will urge you to enjoy the scenery along the way.

My life excursion so far has made me undeniably certain of one thing - that our heart is the toughest, most enduring and most vital instrument we have. Even when it is broken it still beats. Without it, we are nothing.

A life begins, ends, and is altered in a single heartbeat, yet we discard the power of that moment.

Life is an expedition. Knowing who you are isn’t something you do once; it’s a continually evolving process, and

I seek to inspire you to keep defining you.

My aspiration as the energy behind The Heart Compass is that we may discover a connection to the magnitude a moment can play in defining our direction and, using our heart as the compass, string those moments together in loving our best life.
