Who I am in the world is a woman who loves, trusts, and serves the greater awareness of all that is. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, a tree lover, a deeply empathic, gentle, intuitive, and visionary ever evolving being. I am a forest therapy guide, a people connector, and an organiser of events. 

The story I want to rewrite for women is that we know our own power and dance in rhythm with the Earth. That we connect to the intuitive wisdom of our womb, that we create, and collaborate, from a place of deep love, trust and connection with ourselves, grounded in a connection and deep loving respect for nature, mother Earth, Gaia, who sustains us. 
I want all women to believe in themselves, to open their hearts, minds and souls, to build nourishing connective relationships with other women who can support them and who they can support and also to open to the wisdom of the Earth and our nature friends who can guide and support us too. I want all women to know how to ground themselves in their own body and the Earth, to know the cyclic rhythms of our bodies and of nature and to choose to live in rhythm with the Earth. 

The story that I next want to write for myself is one where political, ethical, spiritual, and ecological stories combine. Where the stories I weave, and the threads I follow are life sustaining, creative, and visionary and pave a new way for us to walk together in harmony with ourselves and the Earth. Stories where we know we have power to choose, where we can honour and appreciate life, where we are grateful for the abundance around us and where we know that we are enough, where we collaborate, share what we have, and care for the Earth.
