“Nature is not simply somewhere we go; it is one of the most important relationships we have.”
I work with people, organisations and businesses who long for deeper connection - to themselves, to one another, and to the living world. Nature is not simply somewhere we go; it is one of the most important relationships we have.
My work is centred around stories. The stories we inherit. The stories we live by. And the new stories we need if we are to imagine different ways of being human.
I have been self-employed for sixteen years. During that time, I have worked with thousands of people through workshops, talks, mentoring, and storytelling. What these years have taught me is that meaningful change rarely begins with a strategy. It begins with seeing the world differently.
Perhaps that is why, at an age when many people feel they should already have “all” the answers, I chose to begin studying Greenlandic and Arctic Studies. I am still more interested in asking better questions than collecting certainty. My studies continue to deepen my understanding of colonial histories, relationships with land, storytelling, identity, and the many different ways humans make sense of their place in the world.
Fancy titles have never mattered much to me. Curiosity does.
I was born in Northern Canada, where nature was never a backdrop but a condition for life itself. It was there that I first learned we are not separate from the living world but part of a web of relationships that sustains us all. English is my first language, and North West River will always be one of the places I call home.
I am the mother of three remarkable humans. I laugh loudly, cry easily, and my sense of humour tends to be unapologetically dark.
My path here has not been a straight one.
As a young woman, I worked on military bases in Bosnia and later Kosovo. Those experiences changed me profoundly and marked the beginning of a long period of stress, anxiety, and feeling disconnected from myself, from my body, and from life itself. For years, I tried to outrun what hurt before slowly turning towards the stories I carried, my body, and my relationship with the living world.
Motherhood became another invitation to walk that path.
To explore my roots. My stories. The wisdom held in the body. And to discover that nature was never simply a place I visited, but a relationship that could hold me, challenge me, and remind me that I belong.
That remains the heart of my work today.
I believe many of us are longing for deeper connection. To ourselves. To one another. To the places we inhabit. And to the living world of which we have always been a part.
My hope is that my work helps strengthen those relationships—through stories, imagination, and experiences that remind us we have never truly been separate.
