I was born in the UK but my roots are deeply European with German and Sicilian ancestry. I grew up loving animals especially horses and wanted be a vet but I knew that I would never get the grades for university so I left school and went to Shetland for a summer picking tomatoes!

After Shetland, I went to an agricultural college and then worked with horses in Germany and the UK. But I never had a career plan and somehow ended up in London. I cycled through a wide range of jobs including hospitality, graphic & website design, marketing and IT. I look back now and see that I was always a creative person but didn't know it.

I went to university aged 28 to study archaeology and stayed on to do an MA. I loved learning, research & writing but was wholly unsuited to the corporate world. After a few years, chronic pain and stress led me to massage and that changed the course of my life. I started learning Indian Head Massage and the rest is history!

But the stories of life don't end, and quite late in life, I found out I was autistic. Enabled with this new lens with which to view myself, I realised that I was fortunate to discover massage, yoga and meditation because they have all helped me navigate life. These are the mediums through which I work to help others. I am grateful to all my teachers who opened the doors for me to learn about myself.
