About ME

My work has always been centered on one essential question: How do we live a meaningful life and remain connected to the deeper intelligence of the soul?

Over the course of several decades, I have explored this question through astrology, spiritual practice, mindfulness, Yoga, teaching, writing, and my work accompanying people through times of transition and transformation.

My own path has been wonderfully varied. I grew up in Europe, have lived and worked in several countries, speak four languages, and began my professional life as an international television journalist and producer. Working across cultures and meeting people from many different backgrounds gave me an enduring curiosity about the complexity of human experience and the many ways we search for meaning and belonging.

Eventually, my life moved more deeply toward contemplative and spiritual work. For decades I have studied and practiced Yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and have taught thousands of students through classes, retreats, workshops and longer training programs. I founded and directed a Yoga and healing center, trained Yoga teachers and mindfulness facilitators, and have spent much of my adult life accompanying people through personal growth, spiritual inquiry and significant life transitions.

Astrology gradually became one of the central languages through which I understand the human journey. My approach brings together psychological, evolutionary and traditional astrology with a lifelong spiritual practice. I see the birth chart not as a fixed destiny, but as a map of the soul — a way of understanding our gifts, challenges, recurring patterns and the deeper meaning of the seasons we are asked to live through.

My spiritual life has also been deeply influenced by the wisdom traditions of the ancient world, particularly the sacred feminine, goddess traditions and the spiritual cosmologies of ancient civilizations. These teachings continue to shape the way I understand the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds.

I am also trained as a death doula, and this work took on an unexpectedly personal dimension when I lost my beloved dog. His death opened a new chapter in my life and brought into focus how profound the bond between a dog and a human being can be — and how little support there often is when that relationship reaches its final stages.

Out of that experience came a calling to support dogs and their guardians, particularly around end-of-life decisions, grief and the continuing bond after death. I am also continuing my training in animal communication as another way of deepening my understanding of the relationship between humans and the animals who share our lives.

Today, the two main strands of my work — astrological guidance and support for dog guardians — may appear different, but to me they arise from the same place.

Both ask us to listen more deeply.

Both invite us to remain present during times of uncertainty and change.

And both can help us recognize that even the most difficult passages of life may hold meaning within the larger journey of the soul.
