A Somatic Intimacy Educator, Pleasure & Embodiment facilitator, and founder of Tender Core — a body of work born from hundreds of intimate, consent-led touch sessions and years of walking alongside people in their bodies, relationships, and emotional worlds.

My approach is trauma-informed, shaped by a background in youth work, mental health, and breathwork — but most of all, it’s led by lived experience. My work has been forged through my own path of unraveling over-giving, co-dependency, and disconnection, and learning how to build a relationship with pleasure, boundaries, and self-trust that is actually sustainable.

I don’t teach from theory alone I teach from what I’ve lived, tested, and refined in real time. People often call me an anomaly — and I’ve come to understand why. I don’t fit neatly into any box: I blend trauma-informed facilitation with lived experience, somatic touch, ritual, pleasure work, creativity, and play. I exist outside what’s expected, and that’s exactly where my work lives. What some might see as “too much”, my charater, my empathy, my boldness, my layered identity, my edge — I’ve turned into a superpower. I create spaces where people are held, challenged, and invited to discover parts of themselves they never knew existed.

What I witnessed again and again, both in myself and in others, was this:
people performing connection, abandoning their needs, and quietly starving for real intimacy, touch, and the ability to receive.

Tender Core was created in response to this — and to a wider cultural reality:
we’re living in a world where human connection is thinning, touch is becoming unfamiliar, and many of us are navigating life without the depth of authentic relationship our bodies are wired for.

At the heart of my work is a core belief:
pleasure is not separate from self-love — it’s one of the most direct pathways into it.
Not as an idea, but as something we learn to feel, build, and sustain through the body.

I’m known for being a colourful badass, honest, and playful where empathy isn’t overwhelming, but refined into a tool for deep atunement.

I’m a natural pattern-seer and space-holder, and I support people out of rumination and into presence, from discomfort to ease, from afraid to trusting. My work is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Ritual, Body Psychotherapy, Bodywork and Breathwork to support you to listen to your body, unlock your needs, and explore connection in ways that feel honest, nourishing, and alive.

There’s an artistry to how I work — weaving structure with intuition, education with lived experience, and tenderness with transformation. Using existing models blended with newer creative new pathways into intimacy that feel more human, more embodied, more ritualist and more real.

At its core, my work is about this:
learning how to feel, how to receive, and how to live in a way that is deeply authentic, creatively expressed, and rooted in self-trust.

And as a human — 50% Monk 50% Punk - I’m a playful, shape-shifting trailblazer who moves between depth and lightness with ease. You’ll find me out running to clear my mind, at music festivals soaking in collective energy, or freestyle rapping just for the joy of expression. I’m equal parts grounded and hilarious, I value honesty, banter, and real connection. My world is one where self-inquiry meets play, where tenderness and humour coexist, and where being fully yourself isn’t just encouraged — it’s the whole point.
