My spiritual journey began in my early twenties after I took my first yoga class. Shortly after, I set off to explore Central and South America, Australia, and Thailand. One of the most transformative experiences of my travels was walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The energy there was incredible—it awakened something deep within me, a profound sense of connection to the earth. That moment marked the beginning of my spiritual path.
My twenties were filled with education, travel, and the thrill of freedom. I partied, embraced new adventures, and soaked up every opportunity to learn and grow. It was a time of joy, exploration, and self-discovery.
In my thirties, my life took on a new dimension with the arrival of my three beautiful children. They have brought so much joy and inspiration into my life, driving me to be the best version of myself. Through my continued inner work, I’ve come to understand myself better, which has made me a more present and compassionate mother. I’ve worked through my own trauma, aiming to break generational cycles of suppressing emotions. Instead, I’ve learned to listen deeply, helping my children feel heard, and teaching them to express their feelings openly.
Turning forty was a big one for me. I made significant changes in my life—some were challenging, but all have been a part of my growth. Through it all, I’ve followed the moon for guidance, practiced yoga and meditation, and spent time walking in nature to heal and grow. Music has been another constant companion on my journey, fueling my soul with songs, rhythms, and dance. Barefoot dancing, in particular, has allowed me to release trauma and reconnect with my body.
Studying in my forties has been incredibly fulfilling. Earning my Moon Magic diploma deepened my connection to the moon and its cycles, further awakening my spiritual practice. My Forest Bathing Diploma allowed me to truly immerse myself in nature, gaining a profound understanding of the importance of living in harmony with the seasons and embracing nature's healing power.
Becoming a cacao facilitator has been a true blessing. The spirit of Mama Cacao has opened my heart and guided me through some personal healing. I am eager to share this transformative energy with others and help them experience the deep, heart-opening power of cacao.
Creativity has always been a part of who I am. I’ve written poems, stories, and songs, and I have a deep love for singing and playing instruments. My sound healing training allows me to weave all of these joys together, using the healing vibrations of sound and chanting to guide others on through a transformative experience. It’s an honor to lose myself in the flow of music and energy while creating sound journeys for healing and growth.
In January 2021, I visited The Mill for the first time, and I had a strong sense that I was meant to be there. I didn’t fully understand why, but it has become clear over the last 4 years. The energy I feel in the house and gardens is something that needs to be shared with others.
I’ve attended many retreats, yoga classes, sound baths, and meditations, each one helping me connect more deeply with myself, others, and the earth. This clarity has allowed me to see my life from a fresh perspective, much like I did when I was traveling. The connections I’ve made with other women have been especially healing. They’ve helped me feel safe, given me the space to grow, and taught me the importance of self-love.
This is the essence of New Moon Mill—a space for connection, both with ourselves and with others, all within the peaceful embrace of nature. Surrounded by water and the ever-flowing energy of life, I am reminded that nothing stays the same. Just as nature shifts and changes, so do we. What is now will soon pass, and we must learn to let go of what no longer serves us.
I am incredibly grateful to live in such a beautiful space and am excited to welcome others to join me on this journey of connection, healing, and growth.
