I empower, support, and guide others to courageously step into their authentic selves, by embracing the multiple layers of their human experience through my creative works, frames and practices.
-
I am an artist, a practitioner and a guide using my own creative practices as methodologies for creation and as practice-based tools that cultivate resilience, authenticity, and creative agency for living, creating, and becoming.
As an artist
I have been creating performances, sound, and interactive experiences with the body and voice as central mediums for over twenty years, with my works being presented locally and internationally. You can read about my current works here.
By translating embodied creative processes into structured yet accessible frameworks, performance which is my main art form, is positioned not only as presentation but as a mode of knowledge, production and transmission. In a sense my art functions as a transformative medium with social, personal, and pedagogical resonance.
As a practitioner
I have developed several methodologies and practices which I teach in the forms of workshops like the IntuNition practice, Performing Biography, The Onion and Art Service, which you can view here
As a guide
I am using my creative practices, rituals, and methods to mentor and support creatives and artists during their process of creation, and individuals during their process of becoming tuned and aligned with their authenticity and uniqueness. See mentoring frames here
Art and life as transformative and creative processes
I believe art and life are both creative and transformative processes. ‘Transforming’ as in shifting ones perspective of reality and ‘Creating’ as in taking action in entering a new reality. Both processes are challenging and empowering as one needs to step from fear into courage, from habbit to repatterning, from an old to a new version of self.

Running projects
Idealist for searching for her own ‘truth’ as an artist, for new sensibilities. Idealist in believing in art as a social practice and in dance as a vehicle for spiritual, social and personal empowerment.
