WELCOME!

I help women release the responsibility of needing to feel strong for everyone except themselves, by creating a safe space to be nourished, heard, and held whilst showing up without feeling guilty about putting themselves first.

Remember all those times when you felt that everything and everyone was resting on your shoulders, and you kept smiling even though you were crumbling away inside? I see you my Sista, it really doesn’t have to be that way.

I am BAFTA Award-Winning Retreat Facilitator, Visibility Coach, Author, Speaker, and an award-winning circle retreat facilitator. I have led over 25 retreats across the UK, Europe and Africa.

I have the ability to weave groups of people together so that it feels like they have known each other for a lifetime, after only an hour of meeting.

I was featured as the lead retreat facilitator in the award-winning "White Nanny Black Child” shown on Channel 5. This documentary won the prestigious Royal Television Society Award (RTS) and has recently won the 2024 BAFTA in the Special Factual cateory.

The opportunity to seemingly create a better life for themselves and their children by moving from Nigeria to the UK in the 60's, and 70's could not be missed.

Thousands of Nigerian children were privately fostered, whilst their parents, studied to become doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers etc, these skills would be taken back to Nigeria when complete, along with the children.

Sometimes referred to as "The Invisible" children" at that time there were no formal records of the number of Nigerian children in private foster care and no vetting procedures in place.
Returning to Nigeria on completion of educational studies as a family was the plan for many.

Abi was one of those children, however, her parents did not take her back to Nigeria, Abi lived all of her years in Hastings with her white foster Mum Irene and her family until she decided to move away.
This was a time when "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish" was the order of the day.

This is a moving story of self-rejection, a search for belonging and acceptance. Ultimately through years of embracing resilience and forgiveness, it was only in her more recent years that she was able to fully accept both her UK and Nigerian heritage, Abi was ready to speak her truth, shine her light and finally become visible to the world.

When I gave myself permission to write my second book "Becoming Visible", it felt so much more of a challenge than my first book, "Nature's Medicine for the Soul", this was about sharing my life, the trauma, the healing, the journey.
I knew that if it was to help anyone else, I had to feel comfortable with embracing a much more intense level of vulnerability, understanding deeply within myself that writing this book was so much bigger than me.
I know and I trust that when people read my book, the honesty and healing energy passed between the turning of each page; continues to be passed forward from generation to generation.
