I integrate mindfulness, creativity, & seasonal living into my offerings, empowering others to live with intention, balance, & authenticity.

​

My workshops, retreats, one-on-one guidance, & group gatherings are heart-centered & inclusive, designed to inspire personal growth, creativity, & spiritual well-being.

​

When I’m not holding space for others, I find inspiration in books, plants, embroidery, & the old-world aesthetic, weaving magic & creativity into everything I do.

​I draw my spiritual path from Christianity, Ancient Druidry (nature-based spirituality), the Celtic Wheel of the Year, Avalonian Priestess traditions,  Jesus & Mary Magdalene Mysticism. These teachings inspire my sacred connection & inner peace. 

 

I am a student in the Bardic Grade of the Order of Bards Ovates & Druids.I worked in Youth Ministry within the Anglican Church for 12 years, & another 4 in the United Church.  I have received the Order of Niagara within the Anglican Diocese of Niagara.

With a deep commitment to helping others embrace the sacred in everyday life, I invite those seeking a path of connection, empowerment, & community to join me in walking the spiral path of life.​As a registered New Zealand Celebrant, I am dedicated to crafting personalized & unique services, blessings, & ceremonies. ​As a Labyrinth Designer, I also feel blessed to help others bring the labyrinth into their spaces & lives!​​I feel that anyone can find the balance within by being open & true to what moves their soul. It is my passion to accompany others on their own journey towards a deeper connection within.

A journey of a thousand steps...

 

In 2003, at a retreat, my first walk on the narrow pathways of a Chartres design canvas labyrinth changed how I was living my life.  It was a profound, yet simple journey that changed me forever.  I sought them out, walked them in places where others didn't even notice their existence.  I finally made it to Chartres, France in September of 2023 & it was the beautiful start of the second half of my life.

​

I was blessed to learn from Lauren Artress, the founder of Veriditas ~ the Worldwide Labyrinth Organization, becoming a Veriditas Trained Labyrinth Facilitator (VIA,) in 2008, & an Advanced Facilitator in 2023. 

I am a part of a supportive community of professional labyrinth facilitators sharing ideas & providing education in the growing field of labyrinth facilitation.  I am a Regional Rep. for New Zealand with The Labyrinth Society Inc. & Director of the Labyrinth Connection New Zealand, a newly growing network of labyrinth enthusiasts.

 

​In 2008, I furthered my spiritual journey with a two-year training in Spiritual Direction with the Ontario, Canada Jubilee Associates.  This was where the teaching of holding space & listening to understand rather than listening to respond came from. 

 

​I am a Registered Yoga & Transformational Meditation Teacher.  These practices intertwine with all my work.  

​

​​I have been leading Labyrinth Walks, Women's Retreats, Mother & Daughter Retreats, Spirituality Groups & Creativity Workshops since beginning my own Spiritual Journey in 2004.  As a Child, Youth & Family Ministry Director for 16 years,  I have created, organized & carried out over 125 events, connecting families to one another & to the Divine.  I am now a co-facilitator of the Labyrinth Retreat Quest at Te Moata in the Coromandel, an annual retreat that captures a waitlist!

​

This is what living an Enchanted Life means to me, bringing depth & ceremony into life's special moments.

Join me & let's stir up some magic in your life.
