No matter what path I’ve found myself on, I can’t quiet the voice at the core of my being that whispers when I don’t sing.
From miming Spice Girls songs into a hairbrush to an audience of barbie dolls, to belting out original pop tunes on the London O2 stage to 20,000 people supporting Westlife back in my girl-band days, my journey has taken some unexpected turns! When the touring ended and the band split, I took a shot at top-line writing for various DJs and producers and found myself in the charts with my dance tracks. Music was in my soul. But my soul didn’t feel aligned. I faced a lot of rejection and ignored emails, and after a while of feeling like I just wasn’t good enough, I decided to quit music. I also quit a relationship, so my heart broke twice over. Plus, I was totally skint.
Through this tough time, I found yoga, which became my peaceful pause button whilst everything else felt chaotic. After many months feeling lost, stuck, directionless and crying in most savasanas at the end of a yoga class, I booked myself onto a sound journey one evening. It left me in a state of pure peace and clarity. From that day, my path changed. It actually U-turned, and led me straight back to music, in a way that felt completely right. In a way that I could actually help others to heal.
Over the last few years, I’ve found myself guiding people around the world back home to peace and inward connection through yoga and sound healing. I’m lucky enough have sung healing mantras to seas of sleeping yogis and played my magical crystal bowls at yoga events, festivals and studios across the globe. I’m also so excited have brought the music of my soul into the world, with my first two singles ‘Moment with the Sun’ and ‘Lunar’ having been released in 2021, and my debut album of healing songs - ‘Luminous Shadow’ - released in summer 2022.
My beautiful online sisterhood of women worldwide was born in 2016. It started in a little studio I found on Gumtree in Brixton (south London), where I used to cringe at myself standing outside the station handing out fliers for a ‘free yoga class’… But it worked! Sound Sisters Community (previously Soul Stretch) has organically evolved from three weekly vinyasa flow classes with five members in a fairy-lit south London studio, to a global community with no walls, where hundreds of women have come to reconnect with themselves, their light and their magic. SSC is a journey back to your True Self, through the power of sound. I’m always so honoured when women choose me as their guide.
My ultimate passion and intention now is to help lead the world back towards love, peace and harmony, to empower and inspire you to live your best life, and to help you step into your power and own the light you are here to shine.
I hope to connect with you soon!
