I inhabited a body
For years
that trauma
had disconnected me from.
I didn’t listen to it. (I couldn’t even hear it). I didn’t feel that it fully belonged to me. I didn’t know what it needed. I didn’t trust its instincts.
That kind of disconnection shows up in so many ways: maybe you go numb, second-guess yourself, can’t feel your desire, lose your spark.
For me, it meant I had a successful career and a perfect family, but inside, something felt off. Maybe something was wrong with me…. Why wasn’t I enjoying my beautiful, wonderful life more?
For over a decade, I was a successful international wedding photographer with my partner Daniel - a career I loved, until I didn’t.
I began to feel disconnected from my art and burnt out. So I put the camera aside and turned toward my own healing.
That path led me to plant medicine, working with indigenous wisdom keepers for whom I am eternally grateful. Those experiences cracked me open and reminded me that the body remembers, nature teaches, and transformation is possible. They also lit a fire in me to understand human transformation more deeply, and eventually led me to pursue a Master’s in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology.
Around that time, my family and I moved to Costa Rica, where we’ve now built a home (Casa Luna) and a life abundant with nature and community. Here, with my partner of 18+ years and our two children, I’ve been raising both my family and myself, learning to live in rhythm with nature, and reclaiming my feminine spirit one practice, one breath, one choice at a time.
Slowly, I began picking up my camera again - this time not for weddings, but for women. Wild Radiance photoshoots were born out of this season of remembering, a way to mirror back the beauty, strength, and untamed aliveness I was reclaiming in myself.
Alongside this work, I dove deeper into embodiment practices: breathwork, sacred sexuality, shadow work, and nervous system work. I began leading women’s groups and retreats, and enrolled in an intensive coaching program to be a Sex, Love, and Relationships coach. My Master’s research explored how portraits of women in nature can serve as rituals to reconnect with themselves.
This work is ongoing. It’s messy. It’s painful. It’s sexy. It’s wild. And it’s very much alive.
It’s a daily commitment; to listen, to honour my body, to feel all the feelings no matter how painful or messy, knowing that they are sacred. To remember who the f*ck I am.
And let me tell you, life is more delicious, sparkly, and colourful than I ever thought possible!
It is a profound honour to guide others on their own journey, helping them come home to their bodies, their desire, their aliveness, and their pleasure. To witness people rebuild their relationships to themselves and others, and step into the full colour of their lives… well, it’s magic.
Credentials & Training
VITA™ Coaching (in training, 600 hours)
I am currently completing the intensive VITA™ (Vital and Integrative Tantric Approach) Coaching Certification, a program created by Layla Martin that blends modern neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, and ancient wisdom traditions such as Tantra, Taoism, and sacred sexuality. I felt an unmistakable pull toward this work. It resonated with what I know in my bones to be true: sexuality and love are essential to human wholeness and healing. By integrating body, mind, and spirit, this approach supports deep transformation and lasting change.
MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology
I hold a Master’s of Science degree from The ALEF Trust, Liverpool John Moores University. My thesis research explored the empowerment potential of nature-based portrait sessions on women’s sense of self-connection, deepening my own understanding of the potency of the Wild Woman photo sessions I offer.
Beyond my thesis, my research and essays covered themes such as sacred sexuality, women’s circles, movement and dance therapy, consciousness and ways of knowing, human transformation, creativity, and trauma. These explorations gave me a multidimensional perspective on how humans grow, heal, and reconnect to themselves. At the core of this program, and my own approach, is the desire to bridge spirituality and science, grounding transformation in practices that are both soulful and practical, so they can truly serve us in our daily lives.
Certified Breathwork Facilitator (300 hours)
I am trained as a breathwork facilitator with Caroline Stewart of Inspired Me and have been leading online and in-person breathwork sessions for several years now. Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools I use with clients to access deeper states of awareness, release stored emotions, and reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom.
Mind Body Free Mentorship
Through my mentorship with Abigail Moss, I learned powerful tools and practices for guiding journeys and meditations, connecting to shamanic wisdom, and working with energy. This program deepened my ability to hold transformative space, weaving ancient healing traditions with practical practices to support clients in reconnecting to their own inner wisdom.
