I have a life-long love of nature and journeying to otherworlds and this first manifested in caring for horses at a local riding school and reading mythic literature and fantasy.

My first initiatory experiences occurred in my late teens and early twenties and led me on a winding route from studying Philosophy to MA level through Paganism and Druidry to discovering Brythonic Polytheism and Shamanism.

In 2012, I met my patron God, Vindos / Gwyn ap Nudd, and realised my visions had been of His people and realm, Annwn, the Brythonic Otherworld. I served a seven year apprenticeship to Gwyn as an awenydd ‘person inspired’. During this period I used a combination of research and shamanic journeying to reimagine His myths and other Brythonic and local lore and developed a practice deeply rooted in the land and ancestral traditions of Britain. Afterwards I dedicated myself to Gwyn for life.

I have practiced Brythonic and Core Shamanism (with the Way of the Buzzard) for over ten years. Over this time I have developed strong relationships with my personal spirit guides and gained in depth experience of working with animal spirit guides, spirit teachers, tree and plant allies, land spirits, the fay and the ancestors.

In 2023 I entered mentorship with shamanic practitioner and embodied relational therapist Jayne Johnson. Since then I have focused more deeply on my personal spiritual development. Meditation, shamanic work, embodiment techniques, yoga, strength training and good nutrition have led to me building a healthier relationship with my body and learning to better regulate my nervous system.

In 2024 I began training as a shamanic practitioner with Jayne. This experience has been deeply transformative both inwardly and outwardly as I have worked on coming to know and heal my own wounds and on providing guidance and healing for others.

I have volunteered and worked in conservation and ecology. In 2012 I founded the Friends of Greencroft Valley (which has now merged with Guardians of Nature). With others I work to maintain and improve the diversity of the site along with regular tasks like litter picking. I tend a garden where I enjoy growing small green things.
