My Story
I didn't arrive at this work through a textbook.
I arrived through a health crisis, a dark night of the soul, a diagnosis that reframed my entire life — and thirty years of quietly piecing together a different understanding of why we get stuck, why we suffer, and what it actually takes to change.
This is that story.
The Beginning
I have always been drawn to the deeper layers of things. Spirituality, psychology, the mystery of the human body — these weren't hobbies for me, they were home.
I spent years as an endurance athlete, pouring myself into movement, into doing, into achieving. Looking back, I can see that was its own kind of running. From what, I wasn't quite sure yet.
When Everything Stopped
In 2014, my body called time. It said "Enough!".
What started as minor digestive issues quietly took hold. I became exhausted in a way I had never experienced — bone-deep tired, and yet unable to sleep. I stopped exercising. I became increasingly dispirited and, eventually, depressed.
My GP ran tests and found nothing. I was told I was fine. I knew I wasn't.
I spent a significant amount of time and money navigating the health maze — trying protocols for conditions I almost certainly didn't have, seeing practitioners who couldn't quite locate what was wrong. It was overwhelming. It was lonely. And it was, I now understand, exactly the journey I needed to take.
Eventually I received a cluster of diagnoses — leaky gut, thyroid and adrenal issues, depression — but more importantly, I began to ask different questions. Not just what was wrong with my body, but why. What had I been carrying? What had I been ignoring? What was my body actually trying to tell me?
Finding a Different Way
I began to research food, herbs and the body's capacity to heal itself. I discovered that powerful change didn't require expensive interventions or complex protocols — it required listening. Really listening.
I enrolled in a naturopathic nutrition course, then the ION nutritional therapy programme, and became a registered nutritional therapist. I began sharing what I was learning with my clients, and something lit up in me that hadn't been there before.
Then I undertook a medical intuition training — and everything shifted again.
For the first time, I began to understand how my symptoms weren't just physical events. They were signals. They were my body's way of pointing me toward the deep-rooted patterns and buried beliefs that had quietly been running my life. When I started to listen at that level, things began to change in ways that no supplement or therapy had touched.
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
Around this time, I was diagnosed with autism.
It was, in many ways, a profound relief. Decades of feeling like I didn't quite fit, of working harder than everyone else seemed to need to, of experiencing the world at a different frequency — suddenly had a context. I wasn't broken. I had never been broken. I had simply been trying to live by a map that wasn't drawn for me.
I began to rewrite the stories I had been telling myself since childhood. I called upon my training in behavioural change and transpersonal psychology and applied it to myself — gently, curiously, with a compassion I had rarely extended inward before.
I became comfortable, for the first time, being me.
Archetypal Alchemy Is Born
Out of all of this — the crisis, the searching, the diagnoses, the slow and sometimes painful piecing together of a new understanding — Archetypal Alchemy emerged.
It is the distillation of everything I have learned across thirty years of working in health: as a physiotherapist, nutritional therapist, somatic practitioner, medical intuitive and transpersonal coach. It is also, deeply and personally, the map I wish I had been given at the beginning of my own journey.
I created it so you don't have to spend decades finding your own way here.
My Philosophy
My belief is that health and happiness are not things we have to strive endlessly to achieve. They can flow to us — when we stop fighting ourselves and start understanding ourselves.
I believe that lasting change happens not at the level of symptoms or behaviours, but at the level of the patterns and archetypes that quietly shape everything. When we shine a light on our shadows, when we bring what is hidden into view and the unconscious into the conscious, something fundamental shifts. The lead of pain begins to alchemise into gold.
I have the knowledge, the skills and the lived experience to walk alongside you in that process. Whatever brought you here — physical symptoms, repeating patterns, a sense that something needs to change — I am here to help you find your way back to yourself.
