I’m a certified astrologer, classically trained percussionist, drum teacher of 20+ years, mother of homeschooling daughters, perpetual student of life and so grateful for the practice of QOYA!

I specialise in helping customise simple, grounded practices, so you can truly honour your unique rhythms and authentic femininity everyday. Services include online & in-person QOYA classes, astrology readings, workshops, events in embodied movement, drumming and other inspired experiences to support who you really are and the life you want to live.

For almost 25 years, I taught drums and percussion in schools, performing professionally, from pub gigs with rock bands, touring internationally with classical orchestras and playing with African drumming groups, to more recently facilitating drum circles and workshops at festivals and retreats.

After the birth of my second daughter and returning to percussion teaching as a part time solo parent, despite ‘having it all’, life felt exhausting, unfulfilled and joyless. BEFORE EVEN KNOWING WHO SHE WAS, I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE DARK GODDESS SHOUTING AT ME “ENOUGH!! YOU CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS!”

This awakening of the sacred feminine within began the journey of following my soul, introducing self-care rituals, immersing myself in Qoya, attending women’s circles and embodying goddess archetypes through experiential astrology work. The birthing of my own medicine drums initiated my voice, connected me with my ancestors and the spiritual path of drumming, which further activated my ongoing personal healing.

I am now passionate about sharing what has helped transform my own life, by teaching feminine embodiment and self-care, through the sacred modalities of RHYTHM and ritual. These simple and fun practices can be integrated into your busy life to find balance and your unique, authentic feminine rhythm (without necessarily adding more to the to-do list!)
