bio and contact details




Originally from England, I lived overseas for many years before moving to Australia in 1996 and making my home here on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

My background is in History of Art and Linguistics.  To me astrology is similar to linguistics in that it is the study of patterns, and it is very much a language of symbolism. 

Astrology was my introduction to self-development and spirituality many years ago, when I realized that in order to heal I actually had to deal with my ‘stuff’, and that it wasn’t going to go away no matter how much I ignored it. The insights I gained from astrology fascinated me, particularly as they were so accurate. 

After becoming a professional astrologer, studying with the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, I then did a graduate diploma in counselling to further develop my skills.  I work with both astrology and counselling, and find astrology invaluable in gaining deeper insight into the issues that my clients bring.

Much of my working life has been in adult education, and as well as seeing clients, I run courses and workshops in astrology.

I am also passionate about transforming the society we live in – one of the ways I do this is by being a facilitator with the Pathways Foundation which runs contemporary rites of passage for young people. The Pathways to Manhood programme is aimed at boys 13-15 years old and has been running for over 12 years; the Pathways into Womanhood programme for girls of a similar age was launched last year.  These programmes are community-based and support teenagers in their transition to responsible young adults - something I believe addresses the alienation of youth and can change our society for the better!
