POETRY IS NOT DEAD.
Firecracker. Tomboy. Misfit. Big heart. I write poetry. Art turns me on.
I’m an explorer, and deep feeler. I see the world through poetic lenses.
I promise, your creative impulse can transform your shitty mental junk. It is essential to your well-being. And our collective expression? It will realise the human potential. Book me for creative mentoring sessions, writing workshops, and support while you learn to act as the artist you are.

THE STORY TO HERE.
Through a period of misunderstood self-expression in my early twenties, a career in a male dominated industry, an eating disorder, and an immersion into the world of self development, I came to realise how by disconnecting with my creativity, I simultaneously disconnected from myself. Without it, I felt stripped, unrelatable, a misfit, an alien, not enough of a woman to fit in, and not confident enough as a creative to stand out. I saw therapists and coaches, read dozens of books, went on retreats, meditated, journaled, weighed myself down with crystals, and swapped all forms of exercise for yoga, but I was doing it all as “the broken” person that needed fixing. It turns out that going down that road sees all the “stuff” we seek to bring us happiness is empty when we arrive. A respectful job. A lucrative income. A supportive partner. A loving family. A network of close friends. A comfortable house. A new car, nice clothes, overseas holidays, a Netflix account, superfood smoothies, an instagrammable exercise routine, and chocolate. Even with all that, I still felt like a hologram of myself because there was still something missing.
I just wanted to fucking create.
I now consider art a need not a luxury. It brings us connection to ourselves and others, and an outlet for what needs to be expressed. The joy and catharsis in a moment of creative energy is medicine. It’s not what we get once we are “fixed”. It IS the fix. It opens us up to notions and insights beyond our fixed perceptions, and with that we grow.
So open wide.
