Despite a traumatic childhood, I learned to become a ‘high-functioning’ adult—until that functioning collapsed into severe physical and emotional burnout, leading to hospitalisation in 2009 and a radical turning point in my life.

​

My recovery began at the London Buddhist Centre, where I was introduced to insight meditation - a practice that would completely reshape how I understood the mind. What started as healing became a deep path of inquiry, taking me to Plum Village in France, into training with teachers such as Jack Kornfield and Mark Coleman in the Rocky Mountains, and eventually into a seven-month silent retreat in Northern Thailand, where I began teaching.

​

In 2016, I was invited to join a community to co-create Wonderland Healing Center in Koh Phangan, now a globally recognised retreat space. I have since spent a decade immersed in therapeutic training and practice, including transpersonal coaching, hypnosis, NLP, EFT, Internal Family Systems, emotionally focused couple’s coaching, shadow integration, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and non-violent communication.

​

Following the great success of Wonderland, we are now completing WonderVillage, a second, large-scale residential and retreat project designed to support deeper community living and transformation.
