The ground from which
this work emerged
My work is concerned with the relationship between eros, identity, consciousness,
and the realities women come to inhabit.
My work has taken me through psychosexual therapy, counselling, sex work, domination, womb keeping, touch therapy, media psychology, teaching, ceremony, predictive processing, esoteric philosophy, and the study of consciousness. Every one of these worlds revealed another facet of the same question, how do we come to experience ourselves in the way that we do?
I have lived and worked in many roles; therapist, teacher, guide, writer, space holder and student. Each role deepened my understanding of how meaning is formed, how identity takes shape, and how a woman's experience of herself is constructed.
I have sat with women in their longing, and in their pain, in their desire and their confusion, in their becoming and in their remembering. These conversations have been my greatest teachers.
My path has included some of the more charged and complex territories.
My work has been shaped not only by more than twenty years in psychosexual therapeutic and counselling spaces but by experience that has taken me through some more of the charged and complex territories of eros, identity and power.
It has included an early life that unfolded within environments shaped by relational instability, emotional intensity, and early exposure to power, sexual energy, and responsibility. These conditions formed the first meanings through which I came to understand selfhood, belonging, and closeness.
They also developed a sensitivity to the dynamics of power, emotion, and erotic meaning that continues to inform how I work.
At different stages, I have worked within a range of erotic, relational, and embodiment-based environments.
Including sex work, domination, sensual body-based practices, and touch-led modalities. These contexts offered direct insight into desire, power, anticipation, and vulnerability. And into how erotic identity expresses the meanings a person carries.
Across all these experiences, a clear understanding emerged
A woman's erotic identity is not fixed. It is shaped by meaning, memory, and the stories she believes about herself.
When those stories are seen with fresh eyes, a woman can experience herself, her body, her desire, and her life in an entirely new way.
THE INQUIRY
THE MODEL
The inquiry has become the foundation of my work. It is both my philosophy and my practice.
These question eventually gathered into my intellectual property the MIRROR Model™
THE INVITATION
Simply to help women with fresh eyes, question what has become familiar, to inhabit a different relationship inside their lives.
