A little update…

In 2026, for the first time in years, I’m moving beyond the online space, into the real world. I'm nervous and excited. I have that feeling of starting at a new school. Who will I meet? What will I experience?

Other than doing some mini readings at a festival once, I have never actually offered anything in person in this city. The reason for this has mainly been the fact that I am a mother with very little family support, and so I’ve had to structure my life around my son, his school hours, and my husband’s ever changing work weeks, and thus working online from home was just easiest.

My son has grown, matured, become more independent, and starts high school in a few weeks, and so for the first time I am free to not just work online, but also in-person.

Starting January 24th, I’ll be offering a monthly in-person gathering outside in nature at various Reserve Parks across Melbourne’s North and South Eastern Suburbs. I’ll also be offering Full Moon gatherings out of a shop in Port Melbourne starting in February.

These changes haven’t just come out of the blue, I feel I’ve been moving towards them for a few years now. The biggest change has been in the manner of how I work.

At one point in 2025, I was finding that client sessions that used to feel good, suddenly felt wrong, which was a sign that something had changed, like an update, with a notification that I needed to understand the changes fast. I sat and asked “What is my best way to connect” and the answer showed me things were moving downwards, literally.

This isn’t anything new. Over the years, the way I connect, and the who/what I connect to has evolved, and never stayed the same for more than a few years. It’s become a predictable pattern. My soul loves growth, learning new things, and change.

If you have spoken with me in the past few years, you’ve probably heard me talk about how much I love gardening. In the past few years I’ve spent more and more time outside, in the garden, in nature. I even do sessions from my deck, surrounded by way too many potted plants on the days it’s not hot, cold, or stormy.

The more time I spend outdoors, the more I just want to be outdoors. And so as if to hear my thoughts and desires, Spirit, the Earth and I had a meeting somewhere in the ether and decided it’s a great time to start channeling nature, the land, the Earth. And so my work is expanding into a new arena: land healing, which is actually much more than just healing the land. It’s also about collaborating with the land and nature to support our own healing, our deepening connection to ourselves and to the land.

In 2026, I’ll still be doing 1:1 sessions online over Zoom, I’ll still offer some online group sessions, but for the first time, I’ll also be doing in person work too, starting with a few monthly workshops, and moving into in-person 1:1 sessions.

If you live in Melbourne and are interested in meditations that take place outside, and in nature, feel free to join me in my monthly workshops. I’ll post a link in the comments.

Transitions
A workshop for those going through changes.

Some transitions take days, some take months, others take years. So often we don’t know where we are going exactly, all we know is that things can’t stay the same as they have been. This workshop is for anyone going through a transition, and feeling a little wobbly in the process, and could use a little steadying support to help get more clarity.

This two hour workshop has two parts.

Part 1 will be Part Guided Journey, and Part Energy work as we’ll be connecting into the land that supports you best, whether that be the land on which you live, or a special place you are connected to. With the help and support available to us from the Earth, the land, nature, the Elements and Elementals, and our teams, guides and higher consciousness, we’ll be aligning and connecting ourselves more deeply onto a more solid path, and connect more into the cycles and moving pieces in order to get a clearer sense of how far we have come, and how far we have to go.

As part of this process we’ll also clear out some of the ‘noise’ cluttering up our energy fields. Some of this noise might show up as stress, fears, anxiety, worries and doubts that we don’t need to carry. It can also show up as outside pressures, projections, shoulds, or attempts from others to control or coerce us down a certain path.

This journey will get us out of our heads, and more deeply into our hearts, and our bodies, and intuition where we can feel more centred, aligned, grounded and connected so that we can more deeply feel and listen within.

From this place we will transition into Part 2, where we will do some quiet tuning in, or journaling (whichever is right for you), to bring through more clarity for ourselves on where we are, where we are going, and what we need to be aware of, and do.

This program will go for approximately two hours.

Wednesday August 6th 2025

10am-12pm Melbourne/Sydney (5pm-7pm PST, 8pm-10pm EST Tuesday August 4th)

Cost is AUD$ (Around US$27) and will be held over Zoom, and audio recorded in case you’d like to listen back again and re-do the process again in your own time.

My next round of Mentoring for Channelers begins Saturday February 15th.

I ran two rounds in 2024, and the participants walked away feeling so much more clear in who they are channeling, who they are here to channel for, and for what purpose, and what they need to continue to work on to improve. They also walked away feeling alot more confident in themselves, and their channeling.

The next round will run over 4 sessions, we will be covering topics such as:
~ Who do we channel when channeling for others, and who do we channel when channeling for ourselves
~ Getting more detail coming through our channeling
~ Improving our connection to our teams/higher self
~ What is our messaging and who is it for
~ Getting our thoughts/ego out of the way
and more...

These sessions are 2 hours long and in that 2 hours we do a combination of guided introspection and tuning in, sharing, and practicing channeling in different ways with feedback (Ie channeling for ourselves, for each other, and in a group setting).
I am limiting my Mentoring groups to a maximum of 4 people so that I can more personalize these group sessions to you, and ensure you get plenty of practice and feedback.

Sessions will be Run Saturdays 4pm-6pm Melb/Sydney (5am London, 9pm PST)
Cost is AUD$400 (Approx USD$250 and Euro240)
February 15th, March 1st, March 15th, March 29th

My only prerequisite for joining is that you are able to channel words and information. The purpose of this mentoring is to help you improve.

I went on another podcast! It took me about a year and a half to be ready to go back on podcasts after the last one I was on. Podcasts for me has been one of those stretch myself, and grow kind of things while simultaneoulsy wanting to give, and make a difference. Being the focus of attention has never been something I've enjoyed. Speaking in front of an audience felt even worse, and I've had to do alot of work to overcome that.

Triggers, and moments of discomfort have provided opportunities for me to introspectively look deeper at myself, understand things better, and move past it. There was alot to move past with public speaking, and a sign that we have done so is when we show up and it feels easy, and even fun.

This podcast episode may not reach thousands like previous episodes I've done, but it was the first episode where I showed up comfertably as myself with zero nerves, worries, hopes, or expectations of a particular outcome. I had so much fun, I spoke specifically to the audience of this show, choosing to simply give, educate and share, and I learned a little something too. It helped that Joe, the host was amazing, and super easy to connect with.

The show is called Soul Inspired, and shares stories of inspiring life changing experiences, with a focus mostly on NDE's. I shared the story of my own major life changing experience: the traumatic birth of my son nearly 11 years ago that changed my channeling from being quite general, and a hobby, to something more focused, specific, and what it's become today. Joe shared with me that some of what I experienced during and after this event is something others who went through NDE's have also experienced. Interesting!

If you are interested in watching, here is the link, and if you love NDE stories, he's got some great ones. :-)

I've got a few spots left in my Align with Your Higher Self Workshop

It's a workshop for those of you who are wanting clearer guidance and a stronger connection to your higher consciousness, and more alignment and flow, this 3 session workshop will take your connection to the next level.

In the past 5 years I have been on a journey of strengthening my connection to my higher consciousness through my higher self connection. I have done much work towards embodying my higher self, and this has led to a much clearer intuitive connection, a raising of consciousness, bigger picture expanded thinking, and views, and an overall better alignment and flow in my life.

Some people see the Higher Self as being our wisest best self, our most enlightened and perfect self. Personally I see our energy in layers, with the Higher Self being the most accessible to us. Our higher self has views, beliefs, truths, values and goals, and is free from ego. The more we align with these views, beliefs, truths, values and goals, and start to live and breathe them, the faster we are able to spiritual grow and follow the most correct path forwards for our being. While the higher self is the most accessible, I believe that it’s a connection, a doorway to our even higher, more expanded consciousness. It’s our direct gateway to Source.

To embody our higher self means that we are aligned with those views, beliefs, truths, values and goals. It doesn’t mean our ego disappears, it’s still present, it’s just no longer in charge.

It’s not always easy to connect to our higher self, as it is essentially an extension of ourselves, one without ego, and thus the energy of our higher self so often sounds and feels like our own, and thus making it a bit harder to discern what is our higher self guiding us, and what is simply our own thoughts, emotions and ego talking. This becomes easier with practice.

When we align with and embody our higher selves, we automatically become more empowered to better help ourselves, get clearer guidance for ourselves and rely less on other people’s advice, guidance, and need less ‘things’ to support our connection, and abilities. I call this “Insourcing” and the process of aligning with and embodying our higher selves makes In-sourcing so much easier.

Supporting people to better insource has increasingly become the core of my work. It is my intention to support those of you on a similar journey as so many of us on the spiritual path are walking a path of empowerment, and actualizing more of who we truly are and what we can do.

In this three part series, I’ll be supporting the clearing of anything getting in the way of better aligning and supporting the upgrade to more fully embody our higher selves, expand our consciousness, and improve our inner connection to our higher consciousness and Source.

This 3 part workshop will run like a guided meditation, however will feel like you are recieving a healing session. Please ensure they are done from a comfertable place. All sessions will be recorded so that you can listen back again if needed. There will also be a short practice element whereby I'll be guiding you to tune into your Higher Self each week to give you an opportunity to become more familiar with your higher self, notice some of the shifts taking place, and perhaps even recieve some personal guidance for yourself.

We begin Wednesday August 14th - 10am-11:30am AEDT - Melbourne/Sydney (Tuesday August 13th - 5pm PST, 8pm EST)

This will run every second week for 3 weeks (August 14th, August 28th, September 11th - 10am-11:30am AEDT)

Cost: AUD$250 (Approximately USD$170) I’m capping numbers at 10 so as to better personalize and bring through specifically what you need.

I've got a few spots left in my next round of Mentoring for Channelers.

I had 5 Channelers join in my first round which I ran in May and June, and they all walked away feeling so much more clear in who they are channeling, who they are here to channel for, and for what purpose, and what they need to continue to work on to improve. They also walked away feeling alot more confident in themselves, and their channeling.

I'm running the next round over 4 sessions instead of 5, and during those 4 sessions, we will be covering topics such as:
~ Who do we channel when channeling for others, and who do we channel when channeling for ourselves
~ Getting more detail
~ Improving our connection to our teams/higher self
~ What is our messaging and who is it for
~ Getting our thoughts/ego out of the way
and more...

These sessions are 2 hours long and in that 2 hours we do a combination of guided introspection and tuning in, sharing, and practicing channeling in different ways with feedback (Ie channeling for ourselves, for each other, and in a group setting).

I am limiting my Mentoring groups to a maximum of 4 people so that I can more personalize these group sessions to you, and ensure you get plenty of practice and feedback.

Depending on who signs up, and availability I plan to run this either on Tuesdays 9:30am-11:30am AEDT (Mondays 4:30pm PST, 7:30pm EST), or Saturday mornings AEDT (Friday evening North America). This will be run every second week, a total of 4 sessions over the span of 8 weeks. Beginning end of July.
Cost is AUD$400 (Approx USD$270)

My only prerequisite for joining is that you are able to channel words and information. The purpose of this mentoring is to help you improve.

My channeling has evolved significantly over the years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is that I’ve always wanted to get better at it. For a period of time that was because I felt I wasn’t good enough at it yet, and that I needed to be alot better for various reasons. These days my focus is on becoming a master of my craft. Some people spend their entire adult lives mastering their craft, and perhaps that might be the case for me.

In recent years I’ve branched out to support other channelers, hobby channelers, professional channelers, and those somewhere in between. After 20 years of exploring my own channeling, and supporting others with theirs, I’ve learned alot about channeling, particularly from an energetic point of view, all those invisible parts contributing to the channeling process.

This year I’m finally collating all that I have learned about the art of channeling together, and many many pages later, I realized, I know a lot. Enough to write a whole book on the subject.
Before I get too far ahead of myself, I’m easing into it all step by step and seeing where it takes me.

I’m currently writing an advanced channeling course, which is looking like it’s going to be a 3-6 month program, maybe longer.

While that is being developed, I’m launching a small group mentoring 3-4 people max with the first round starting April 13th for people who are already channeling and simply wish to improve, and a second round starting in July.

In the small group mentoring I’ll be personalizing the sessions to the groups current needs, as opposed to teaching from a pre-written outline.

I’m currently taking an expression of interest at this time, and times are likely to be:
Tuesday mornings (Australia)/Monday evenings (North America)
Saturday mornings (Australia)/Friday evenings (North America)

A little update:

2023 has been such a busy year. After my interview went live on the Next Level Soul Youtube show, I was booked out for months. It left me no time or energy to write, collaborate, or do much of anything other than 1:1 client sessions. As much as I love 1:1 client sessions I've been craving collaborations, and doing more things with others, particularily other channelers as I've developed some wonderful relationships with others just like me who do what I do.

Back in June I had a woman named Huenu book in for a reading. I had no idea who she was. The only thing I knew about her was that she was currently living in South Africa. After channeling for her she invited me to join her platform Orykl which just lauched November 1st. I had no idea she was testing me out. I'm super happy that I passed!

Huenu and I get along wonderfully, and it was a clear yes from me to begin channeling at Orykl. As it's just launched, Orykl in it's current form is a platform where you can book a 1 hour Q&A with one of the many excellent channelers she's recruited so far, but as it grows there are plans to add so much more to it. Workshops, courses, a podcast, and other collaborative projects. It's everything I was wanting to do more of, and with other channelers. I'll be sharing more about it as more comes together with Orykl.
My feeling is that Orykl will become the Insight timer of the Channeling world.

My calendar is all booked out for the year and is closed. I will re-open it in January, however I've set aside a few spots in early December for clients I've seen before. If however you were wanting a 60 minute Q&A, I've got some times available at Orykl in November, with a few more times to be added in December. :-)

Elevate - The Group Session

I've now run Elevate the group session 4x. Each session has had a different focus than the others, but follows a similar structure: a gentle clearing followed by an opening and expansion. The energy is at times gentle, and at times strong. I call these group sessions Elevate, because the focus is on expanding our consciousness, opening ourselves up to more, and ultimately navigating through life with more ease and grace.

I recorded the very first session with a small group of people, and have posted it on Youtube for anyone to listen if guided. Feel free to have a listen if you feel intuitively inspired. :-)

If you are interested in joining, I'm running this group session twice a month at both Australian and North American evening friendly times. Here are my upcoming dates:
Friday March 31st

Melbourne/Sydney 10:30am – 11:30am

(USA: 5:30pm PST, 8:30pm EST Thursday March 30th)
Wednesday April 5th

Melbourne/Sydney 7:30pm-8:30pm

London 10:30am-11:30am, USA 5:30am EST
Wednesday May 3rd

Melbourne/Sydney – 7:30pm-8:30pm

London 10:30am-11:30am, USA 5:30am EST

I channeled the first ever Elevate - The Group Session with a small group of people on January 25th 2023. It was channeled for the purpose of being offered ...

14/03/2023

In January I was interviewed by Alex Ferrari on the Youtube show - Next Level Soul. Alex put my channeling to the test to ask me some really challenging questions about why some of us experience some really challenging situations in our lives such as abuse, or even disabilities.

As the show has become quite popular in the Spiritual Youtube world, I was quite nervous to be speaking and channeling for such a big audience, and was really grateful for the opportunity.

As a result of this interview going live, i've been quite busy with admin and bookings. I'm booked out until August at this point, but if you have worked with me before, I have put aside a few spots, just send me an Email. :-)

16/01/2023

After a long hiatus, I've been nudged to re-launch my group sessions. Elevate the Group Session will be held twice a month at AUS & USA evening friendly times.

Elevate the Group session is for those who are ready to open to what’s next, as this group session has very little deep healing work involved, although you may experience this as a result, it is simply an upgrade, and for some it may feel you’ve had a few parts of you upgraded and upleveled, and for others it may feel like a full system update, upgrade and reboot as you receive a whole new and improved layout.

Elevate has one main purpose: to elevate and expand your consciousness and open your gifts, so that they can work at a more elevated level in order to support Humanity in it’s forward movement.

It will strengthen your connection to your Higher Self, Divine I am Presence, and your Source connection. You may find you connect differently, but with a new strength and clarity to the connection after this session. It will open you up to a bigger picture, more of your innate higher wisdom, and strengthen your Claircognizance (Clear Knowing intuitive sense) in particular, along with your other intuitive senses.

These group sessions are 45-60 minutes long, and will be fully channeled. The group sessions are like my 1:1 sessions in that I will be channeling through details about what’s upgrading, what’s clearing, releasing outdated beliefs, and stories, but due to the nature of this being done in a group, I will not be going into details on an individual level but rather sharing what’s happening with the group overall. It will feel as though you are receiving a full energy healing session.

Cost is AUD$35 (approximately US$24, GBP$20).

Releasing Cords so they are Gone Forever

It's been ages since I've had the time, energy, or inspiration to write, and finally got around to writing something I've been meaning to write about for a year now. It's about something we've all come across in one form or another on this Spiritual journey: Cords.

I still hear it being written and shared frequently, "Cut the cords" is something many people do.

It's something I used to do, and did it alot as part of my spiritual hygene, until two things happened: highly sensitive people in my life started to feel it when I cut cords between us, and it wasn't a nice experience for them and they told me so, and secondly, I became sensitive enough myself to feel it when others suddenly cut cords we had between us. It felt like having a door unexpectedly slammed shut in your face without knowing what you did to cause that behaviour. I realized then that Cord Cutting is not the answer.

That led me to move into Cord Healing, which was far gentler, and actually healed the reason for that particular cord at the root which lovingly released the cord for good. I used that technique for years, until one day I felt like it was taking too much time and energy healing every single cord, and as a result, found a way to clear all cords for good in one session. One year later I've not had a single cord attached to me, nor have I attached a cord to anyone. The technique works, and I've shared more about it in my blog including how to do this yourself. It's as simple as asking why we allow cords to be attached to us, and why we attach cords to others, and healing everything around this. The only requirement is that you will need to tune into energy on a subcontious level, and be able to do some healing to move the energy around what you find.

It's not a technique for a beginner on this path, but if you are fairly new at tuning in and doing energy work, give it a try anyway. You might be surprised how much you shift around this and save yourself hours of work down the track dealing with cords. :-)

I've pretty much summed up my Blog post in this Facebook Post, but if you've read this far and would like to read more about it, follow the link here to the full article:

Healing our reason for attaching cords and having cords attached to us, so that we can be free of energetic cords for good.
