I am devoted to bridging inner listening with outer expression - cultivating spaces and art where creativity becomes a pathway to deeper awareness, connection and transformation.
At the heart of my work is a longing for authenticity and creative freedom. I weave together somatic practices, expressive arts, and insights from both contemplative traditions and modern psychology to support gentle, trauma-informed spaces for self-discovery.
Through working with incredible teachers and therapists, alongside my lived experience of recovering from complex trauma and years of physical / psychological dis-ease and disconnection, I’ve learnt to trust my creative life-force as a vital companion in healing. Creativity has guided me in opening pathways back to aliveness, meaning, connection, and in reclaiming my story.
I invite people to reconnect with their inner worlds and meet themselves as they are, so they can listen more deeply, feel more fully, and express what is often left unspoken. This work is about returning to the creative intelligence of the body as a source of wisdom and insight.
With experience working in community arts and mental health spaces, I care deeply about creating inclusive, supportive environments where all parts of a person are welcome - spaces where we can explore, create, and remember what it means to be fully alive, in connection with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

About Tamalpa Life/Art Process®
The Tamalpa Life/Art Process® is an integrated somatic and expressive arts approach that invites us to explore the deep connection between art and life. Rooted in the belief that our own lived experience is the most meaningful source of creative expression, this work brings together body, imagination, and artistic practice as pathways for insight, awareness, and transformation.
Developed by dancer and pioneer Anna Halprin and further shaped by her daughter Daria Halprin, the Life/Art Process® understands movement as the body’s primary language - a way of expressing personality, emotion, and inner life that goes beyond words. In this approach, movement, drawing, writing, voice, and performance are not separate disciplines, but interwoven tools that help us sense, reflect, and give form to experience.
At its heart, the Life/Art Process® supports embodied awareness - the ability to listen inwardly to sensation and feeling, to notice how our bodies hold and express experience, and to translate what arises into creative form. Through this ongoing dialogue between body and imagination, we can uncover recurring patterns, connect more deeply with our inner life, and develop new ways of being in the world.
This process recognises that when we engage in expressive movement and art-making, we are not only creating art - we are also engaging with the stories, emotions, and themes of our lives. The symbols, gestures, and images that emerge become meaningful reflections of our personal journey, and working with them can support emotional awareness, self-understanding, and creative agency.
This process is based on the following principles.
Our bodies are vehicles of awareness.
There is a relationship and interplay between the physical body, emotions, and mental/imaginal realms.
When we engage in expressive movement, and the expressive arts, the ongoing themes and patterns from our lives are revealed.
When we work on our art (a dance, drawing, poem, song, or performance), we are also working on something in our lives.
The symbols we create in our art contain valuable messages which speak to the circumstances of our lives.
The ways we work as artists teach us about the ways we relate to ourselves, others, and the world.
When we enact positive visions through our art, we create images and models that can become guiding forces in our lives.
It is in our art that we find expression for that which disturbs us and for that which we want to celebrate.
As we learn how to work with the principles of creativity and the practice of the arts, we are able to apply what we learn to all aspects of our livess
