My journey with astrology began nearly twenty years ago, in my early twenties, alongside other mind-expanding tools and experiences — tarot, psychedelics, and alternative spiritual practices. What started as a self-taught exploration soon evolved into formal study with professional astrologers and intensive workshops, culminating in a Level II certification through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program in 2016.
My work blends psychological and evolutionary astrology at its core, enriched by a deep fascination with astrology’s complex history. I draw from a wide range of ancient techniques and perspectives, weaving them into a modern, integrative approach. I see life as a confluence of choice, creativity, karma, and destiny — forces that astrology helps us navigate and engage with more consciously.
While today’s dominant materialist worldview often limits reality to the surface, I view astrology as a way to uncover the archetypal currents shaping our lives. It allows us to tell a richer, more nuanced, and more meaningful story about who we are and what we’re here to experience and fulfill.
Alongside my professional practice, I hold a background in cultural anthropology, having studied at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including earning a postgraduate certificate with distinction in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
