This is long overdue. So much has shifted since I first wrote this — sat on a creative trip in Canada, words pouring out as I tried to capture who I was. Since then, everything has deepened. I’ve moved from large hot-forged works in stainless steel and steel to finer work in copper — and soon, silver and gold. The plants have called me back, and I’ve listened. What I do now isn’t just about shaping metal — it’s about following energy, and supporting healing. This is me as I am in this moment in the summer of 2025

More soon, as the words for my story settle in my mind. But here is the shape of the journey so far.

I’ve always had a strong creative pull. In my early years, I danced, exsplorted fiber, carving, painting and played flute and saxophone. Later, I worked more with wood and fibre. Photography drew me in with its textures and process. Art school came, and with it, deep study of light and form — but the forge called me back. I trained under master blacksmiths (including my father) and worked with artists from all over the world. These were the foundational years — developing the technical skill and confidence I needed to form a voice of my own. Throughout all of this time I spent a lot of time in the woods with the animals and plants. Finding it to be my safe space, away from the harshness of the forge. A place to fully allow my nervous system to feel safe and reset. The energy of the woods and the earth has always been a grounding element for me, as has the flow of water, the wildes of the wind as it blows a hoolie or kisses the leaves, along with the crackle of the fire in the harth. The seek for balance always leads the way.

Returning to the Body, the Earth, and the Plants

Over time, something began to shift. I finally began to listen to my body, I sustained a lower back herniation that threw me head first into a deep dive of the soul, nowhere safe from the inner shadows any longer. I've spent my entire life battling mental health, even as a baby I struggled to be understood or to understand how I needed nervous system regulation, it took me 42yrs to work this out, after overdosing on dried fig leaf in a foot spa and giving myself second degree burns did I finally understand how pressure helped calm and reset my system. It has brought my mum and I together closer as she now knows how and what the support I need looks like if Ever I become dysregulated. Tuning in to my own hormonal cycles, using some choice symple herbs I have finally been able to calm the whirling madness, that once lasted weeks down to a few days. At each stage of my shadow work gerny as I have been able to listen deeper to my own womb, and the wisdom within it the lowder my intuition and easter the integration of all the learning has become.

Now, alongside metalwork, I’ve returned to the plants. I work with them through tea, tinctures, powders, and ritual blends — creating offerings that support the body, especially for those navigating hormone changes, chronic tension, or disregulation. I approach herbalism through energetic frequency, intuition, and direct relationship — not just chemistry.
Energy Work, Coaching & Womb-Led Awakening

Allowing them to ground to the earth at the same time or if at home to take themselves off to bed straight after. Giving as much space as possible for the treatment to do its thing. I do know about others but driving after a session can sometimes be a little funny.

My work has also opened into energy medicine — not a branded system, but my own intuitive version of reiki: something that emerged through time, touch, and trust. I work with plants, people, and animals — reading the field, supporting balance, and flow. This is subtle work, yet so powerful. It’s led me to offer 1:1 coaching, where I support others in reconnecting to their inner knowing, intuition, and grounded presence. It’s about remembering — not performing. And 1:1 energy treatments in the woods, weather permitting or going to people's homes within the guildford area. Allowing them to ground to the earth at the same time or if at home to take themselves off to bed straight after. Giving as much space as possible for the treatment to do its thing. I do know about others but driving after a session can sometimes be a little funny.

Still Forging, Still Creating

Though the materials have changed, the spirit of my work remains the same:
To awaken touch, attention, and presence — in yourself and in the world around you.

Whether I’m forging a piece of metal, crafting a herbal blend, or listening deeply to someone’s story — I’m working with energy. With form. With remembrance. And with care.

Thank you for finding your way here. Let’s remember together.
