My path into this work was shaped by several profound, life-changing experiences—each one quietly asking me to question who I was allowed to be, and who I actually was beneath it all.
I was raised in a Baptist household, where spirituality came with rules, structure, and unspoken expectations about what it meant to be “good.” Growing up in a big family of six children, I learned early how to be adaptable, how to not take up too much space, how to stay agreeable. Much of my worth felt tied to meeting standards that always seemed just out of reach.
For years, I followed that path. Until, at 20, I reached a crossroads: continue living according to others’ definitions of truth—or honour the quiet, persistent pull of my own heart to find out who I really was. I chose the latter, even though it meant stepping into the unknown.
In the years that followed, I began to slowly embrace who I am: an open-hearted, open-minded, gay individual with a deep desire to create space for others to be fully themselves. That choice marked the beginning of a long and often tender journey of self-love, healing, and reclamation—one that asked me to unlearn shame and reconnect with my own inner authority.
Years later, happily married to my beautiful wife, we were in the midst of growing our family when we experienced the heartbreak of a miscarriage. In the depths of that grief—when words felt insufficient—I was introduced to meditation and oracle cards. Those quiet moments became a lifeline. They offered comfort, presence, and a sense of being held when everything felt uncertain.
Through that stillness, something familiar returned. A deep sense of knowing. A feeling of guidance. A connection I had once associated with religion, but had believed I’d lost. As I opened to this, I realised spirituality had never truly left me. It had simply been waiting for me to meet it in my own way.
As my intuition deepened, tarot entered my life—but not without resistance. Growing up Baptist, I had been taught that tools like tarot were something to fear or avoid. It took time, gentleness, and a lot of unlearning to move beyond those deeply rooted beliefs. What I discovered instead was that tarot wasn’t about prediction or power—it was a mirror. A language of self-reflection. A way back to inner truth. When I finally gave myself permission to lean in, I felt called to study the craft with integrity, and became an globally accredited tarot reader. That decision shaped not only my work, but how I hold space—with care, respect, and humility.
Soon after, breathwork found me. At first, it felt like a simple way to relax—another form of meditation. I had no idea how deeply it would meet me. Immersing myself in the SOSHA Breathwork Level 1 Retreat—finding trauma-informed Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) and five days of back-to-back sessions—reshaped my understanding of what healing could be. Through breath, I accessed layers of healing that words had never quite reached. Raw, honest, embodied. It reminded me that the body holds wisdom long before the mind catches up.
Once I experienced the depth of breathwork, I knew I wanted to share it. Not to fix or change anyone—but to offer a space where nothing needs to be forced, and everything is welcome. It’s been an honour to walk alongside others as they release, remember, and return to themselves.
I’m also deeply inspired by the grounding nature of sound healing and the sacred rhythms of shamanic practice—both of which inform how I show up in this work: with softness, reverence, and trust in the unfolding.
Whether through breathwork, tarot, or simple connection, my intention is gentle and clear: to help you feel safe enough to listen inward, reconnect with your own wisdom, and walk your path with more compassion, clarity, and ease.
