Experience includes BA (Hons) Theology and Politics from the University of Aberdeen, the University of Dundee and the University of Wroclaw, Poland. 4 years teaching and travel in Thailand, Beijing and Hong Kong. Astrological training from the Mayo School of Astrology online certification course. I have also completed 100 hours Ayurvedic and Yoga training with Veda Yogshala based in Rishikesh, India. In August 2025, I was awarded a fully funded scholarship to Esalen Institute in Big Sur. Esalen is a key educational institute and world leader in the humanistic human potential movement. In Dec 2025, I will be travelling to California to complete a week long course at Esalen , exploring healing, massage therapy and alternative therapy using touch, sound and the senses. All of this experience is incorporated into my astrological practice, offering space for those wishing to look deeper and explore the self.

My astrological readings advocate for the intuition and discernment of the astrologer, as well as the incorporation of humanistic astrology. My focus is on the work of Dane Rudhyar, Alice Bailey’s esoteric healing/Steiner and Jung’s psychology/alchemy with the four elements. An astrological reading can provide invaluable insights into the energetic nature of being, and a useful tool/method as a seed of liberation and soul purpose. The psychodynamics of moon signs is also of particular interest and the evolutionary work of Jeffrey Wolf Green.

The purpose of astrology is to map the cyclical nature of reality, to a-tune to the planetary movements in the cosmos. Rhythm and cycles of energy. As above, so below manifests itself in the material reality, through the ingresses and progressions corresponding and in relationship to our initial astrological incarnation/birth. It also speaks to the unified nature of all matter and the energetic principles of polarity. Perhaps one evolutionary purpose of consciousness is to reconcile opposites and to intuitively feel the unified nature of all being-ness, in form and formless.

With peace,
