What to say in these sections without coming across either narcissistic or self-effacing? Ok here goes! Well I was born and grew up mainly in Queensland Australia (blah blah blah - skip to the good part!)...fast forward to a dull call centre job in London in my very early 20's. I had moved over to the UK on a whim of a psychic (that had predicted I would be famous singing in a band - still yet to happen). I've often noticed when presented with a lack of intellectual stimulation one tends to turn to the art of skiving...which led me to finding my western/tropical astrology teacher Barbara Noble on an online forum that taught me generously via correspondence for over 5 years. Thus becoming (so far...there are no certainties) a life long obsession and a quest toward learning the truth of existence.
Fast forward again to a Saturn return around my 30th birthday I found myself all alone in the city of New York after moving to Vancouver for an international sea change. Yes, I'm aware New York isn't in Canada but hear me out. I had moved to BC and had lasted only a month and somehow found myself in NYC after a tip from a long lost friend. It occurred to me as I wandered (with very little lust) around the North Americas that I had been chasing greener pastures ever since I had left high school and it had only culminated in what I had been running from: isolation and loneliness. As it so often happens in moments such as these serendipity knocks under the guise of a little yoga studio in Brooklyn where a teacher told me I should pursue a yoga teacher training...It was at this point I made the choice to dive further within and embrace practices that encouraged the art of awareness, presence and most of all kindness.
I feel very blessed to have studied with some truly magical vedic teachers along my path. Sitting in the jungles of Goa and beaches of Byron Bay with hatha yogi Clive Sheridan, studying vedic astrology remotely from California and in conference in Tirupati with jyotishi Komilla Sutton and being honoured to observe sublime mantras from Sri Narayani Sakthi Amma performing puja in Vellore has all woven together to assist my ever evolving adventure of imparting what I have learned and infusing it into my astrology readings. As always with such a profoundly complex subject I forever claim to be a student and bow down humbly to the wonderful and kind teachers I have had the grace to meet. I hope this comes through in my readings :)
