Welcome to my website! In these pages you can learn about my work as a shamanic practitioner and creative crafter. The site also includes regular blog entries, my shop, and information about my special passion: the runes.
My work is guided by my conviction that we are all capable of becoming the creators of our own lives: living true to our soul purpose, living harmoniously with the world around us, and taking profound joy in ourselves and our loved ones. For me, creativity is a means to empowerment, self expression and connection with spirit.

Reweaving the self through shamanism
I teach runic and shamanic methods of self-development, healing and transformation through StarFire Alchemy, the company I founded with my extraordinarly gifted friend, teacher and business partner Kay Gillard. StarFire Alchemy is based within south-east London but we also run courses across the south of England and a number of my rune courses are also available as correspondence options.
My healing practice combines ancient tradition with modern practice, recognizing that healing and transformation occur when mind, body and soul work together in harmony. Shamanic healing:
- restores the self, alleviating feelings of disempowerment by literally restoring that power to you
- reweaves the self, helping you to rediscover who you are and redefine your soul path
- heals mind, body and spirit, identifying and working with the sources of dis-ease
- empowers you to take change of your own healing and self-development
Working with the runes
In mythology the runes were discovered by Odin who hung upon Yggdrasil, the World Tree, for nine nights in order to find them/ bring them into being. In their simplest form they are the alphabets which were used by the ancient Germanic peoples (Anglo Saxon, Norse, Icelandic, Gothic); but the rune staves (letters) are merely the outer form of the runes.
The word rune means ‘whisper’, ‘secret’ or ‘mystery’. Runes are keys, energy forms, collections of ancient wisdom, doorways into other worlds. We can work with them to gain wisdom and understanding, and to change the shape and flow of our lives.
I write regularly about the runes within my blog and have compiled a resources page dedicated to their study. Through StarFire Alchemy I run correspondence, beginner and practitioner level courses for aspiring runesters.
Creative spirit
I love working with my hands, creating beautiful objects empowered through magickal and shamanic techniques. In my shop you will find my artwork as well as runes, casting cloths and other power objects – each hand crafted and empowered using runic and shamanic techniques.
When I was younger my very first ambition was to be a voice-over artist; I may have changed my mind on that one but I have given myself an outlet for voice work through my recorded songs, Youtube channel and my monthly radio show Shaman of the North hosted by Shamanic Voice. I also love writing and have contributed illustrations and articles to a number of books.
You can read about my work as a writer, singer, broadcaster and artist on my creatrix page.
