Creating concrete visions of a macrocosmic prism with a brilliant optimism and appropriate ambition

Multidimensional being passionately driven to create, think, move, feel, learn, connect, and grow.

Half of a home-educating co-parent duo supporting the self-directed education of our neurospicy five year old, who has inherited both our ADHD and autism with an extra-big dollop of PDA. Needing autonomy does make sense to me though: I'm self-employed, and have been for twenty years. Fitting running a business around home education is a fun and exciting challenge, but I think I'm making it work.

Writer, film-maker, artist, activist, and therapeutic practitioner. My professional work is at the intersection of gender, embodiment, and facilitating healing and self-expression: I support people to feel good in their bodies and become more themselves.

When I'm not working or parenting I'm mostly training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, talking to and hanging out with my partners, attending to self-care, and revising the book I'm working on. I draw and paint, mostly with my kid at the moment, although I used to do it professionally.

Some things I am: a burner, a witch, an out-of-practice musician. A huge nerd about communication, relationships, bodies and wellness (because thanks to neurodivergence, disability, and multiple chronic illnesses, I need all the help I can get). A queer non-binary tattooed futch hippy in cosy patchwork and barefoot shoes. Pansexual, polyam, and happily attached to my nesting partner Leo and two other long distance sweeties.

The cutting edge of my personal growth right now is being with other people's discomfort without trying to fix it, and learning to live into the balance between spaciousness and busyness, rootedness and freedom.

Pronouns: they/them

Free from all old stories I've been told, I walk through the valley of my own shadow
