I was a confident, expressive girl who loved making up songs & dances. At 7 I was writing songs inspired by the 180-acre off-grid bush property I grew up on — I felt most myself when I expressed through music and movement.

In primary school I noticed I was deeply sensitive, aware of so much more than those around me. But no one talked about feelings, and there was an unspoken shame around negative emotions. With nowhere safe to open up, I began to retreat — spiralling into anxiety, believing I was different and utterly alone in feeling that way.

Writing songs alone in nature was my lifeline. It always felt good to share on stage and be truly seen. I put enormous effort into singing, performing and leading — even through high school — but still carried that deep fear of expressing how I really felt.

That longing for freedom led me into studying music performance, then dance teaching, yoga, and running my own children's entertainment business. Then back to my own songs. I started performing in 2009, releasing my first EP 'Little Hopes' in 2010 — and it opened a healing journey I never expected.

I've now experienced what it means to be truly seen, heard and appreciated in my expression. My life's work is bringing that to other girls and women.
