My Journey
Since I was a child I have always stared up at the sky and looked at the world around us questioning our existence. Why am I here now, in this body, with this mind and experiencing these things? I always felt deeply connected to the stars and would prefer to be alone in nature, to observe life. Perhaps this was because I moved from country to country as a child, and never quite felt like I truly belonged anywhere. Not quite British and not quite Indonesian. I wasn’t grounded. This did however, allow me to experience life with open eyes and an open mind. But I also shut off my heart, never feeling seen or safe with other people. So I experienced life through logic, instead of connection. Because of this, the main feeling I felt was loneliness and fear. I had a lot of fear, fear of the unknown, fear of death. I knew in my core that the unseen existed, but I avoided it out of fear, out of not understanding.
This lead me down the path of science, so that my logical mind could make sense of the world and feel safe. I got my Bachelors of Science in Geography and Masters of Science in Geographical Information Science. I was always drawn to nature and wanted to understand how the physical world worked. I was deeply fascinated with natural hazards. Volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, asteroids. All of these brought me to life, made me feel something magical. I was in awe of the power and beauty of mother nature. Volcanoes in particular stirred up such emotion in me, so I pursued a higher education learning about them. Most of my research focused on the use of technology to map and model their processes, and I worked directly with Moana Loa in Hawaii, and Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla in Iceland. Although this brought me such joy, I decided not to pursue of Doctorate of Philosophy and take a break from academia, as something didn’t feel right. I loved the research and the brilliant minds, but the lack of transparency, pressure to publish, tightly controlled peer review system weren’t in alignment with me.
Intention is everything, and I was graced with the opportunity to work with a non-profit specialising in disaster management who were fully open and transparent. Most of my projects were in Indonesia, Tanzania and Nepal, but we worked all over the world, creating map data and building tools that everyone had access to. We worked with local communities, universities, governments, development institutes and other non-profits to make real time changes through disaster response mapping and policy implementation for preparation and mitigation. The organisation I worked with was amazing, not only in the projects we did, but also in the way it conducted itself. And in this environment I learnt how to connect with others, I switch from physical geography to human geography and this triggered something inside of me. Once I had made this shift, my soul was ready to move on to the next stage and I received the call inside. However I ignored those whispers, pushing it aside. This was the perfect job, it ticked all the boxes and I have spent my whole life working towards it.
This made it so hard for me to leave, but it was no longer my path and because I wasn’t listening, my body took control, and it started shutting down to the point I could no longer ignore what it was trying to say. That my wonderful time with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team had served its purpose and guided me to where I was meant to be. My body directed me to what I needed to do next, which was to stop, be still, reflect, rest, and surrender to the universe. This transition led me to holistic healing, opening up a whole new direction to my journey. It was the first time I ever approached anything as an entity in its entirety, made of body, mind and spirit, and it was like a light bulb was turned on. And through this I was guided back to coherence, with the appropriate, sound frequency, acupuncture and deep rest, a lot of rest, to give my system a break and the time it needed to reflect and recalibrate.
My system that had been working so hard in the best way it knew how to keep me feeling safe, and for me that was through logic so that I could understand and fully be in control to the point that I was obsessive compulsive. I was a highly functioning adult, successful, great career, traveling the world, living in a beautiful place, wonderful husband - all those things. Every box ticked, but deep down there was something not quite right. I was connected through logic, but I wasn’t connected through spirit. My body and mind were working, but I neglected my soul. I basically had gotten on the treadmill of life, so focused on the end goal, that I was so connected to everything on the outside but not within. This race has trained us to not feel worthy or fulfilled if we are not constantly running. And if we’re running, how can we be present and connected to spirit. To really listen to what our inner voice is saying. Disconnecting us from our spirit, blocking our emotions, not only disempowers us but it also makes us sick. When energy cant flow freely through our body, it can’t function correctly. I truly believe that being productive is one of the biggest addictions out there.
My healing journey wasn’t easy, it took me two years to heal my body and four years to really learn how connect with spirit. Everyones healing looks different, and my journey was about letting the old version of me die, so I could truly connect with the blueprint of my soul. And let me re-iterate, it was hard. I was constantly asking the universe, what am I meant to be doing? I had to learn to surrender in the best way I knew how. To be present and content with just being. And the stillness wasn’t easy, but I was able to do with time and the unwavering support of my husband, who never pressured me, but encouraged me to truly take the time to heal and find what lights my soul.
One of my many passions is ancient civilisations. As a child I wanted to be an explorer like India Jones and unearth our history, but I thought we had discovered everything already. How wrong I was, as we are finding more and more everyday. I deep dived into this and it opened up all streams of awareness and remembrance. About Atlantis, Lemuria, our true history and galactic origins. I explored all of it, the esoteric, the metaphysical, the spiritual, you name it. It was like rediscovering myself. Then one day I came across Biofield Tuning, and something clicked inside of me - this! This is what I want to learn! There was no question about it, it satisfied my logical, scientific mind, and bridged the gap with the unseen. Instead of using frequency to map the earth, I would use frequency to map humans and heal them with energy, the very fabric of our universe. This was my gateway to connecting with the world of energy.
Since then there have been many more ‘adventures’ of exploration that have shaped where I am now, and this is just the beginning. Currently I am connecting with my own personal galactic origins, as well as the Druid and mystic in me. I have also always had a deep fascination with how the ancients approached disaster management and in my core know its related to the balancing of Earth’s energy. Just like our bodies, the Earth is speaking to us when it is out of alignment. How can we harmonise it like we do for our bodies, to bring coherence. With massive tuning forks? Well I think this is exactly what the ancients did and we are learning, remembering how to do this again.
And it all starts with us. Just as the Earth sends us an electrical charge, we also send it our electrical charge, so if we aren’t in alignment what is that doing? So I am here to assist with this if this feels right for you. Just remember to be present in your journey, this is your story, even if it is uncomfortable right now, it is leading you somewhere, teaching you something, something you have asked for, your highest calling and it is beautiful. Sometimes just hearing someone else’s story is enough to make the shift in frequency and if this is so, than I am so happy that taking the time to read this was healing in itself. May you have the most magical journey in the discovery of your highest self and your soul blueprint, for it is unique and we are all here to bring light. To shine our inner light, our spirit.
