My path to creating Joyful Pilgrim started with the simple desire to create a better relationship with my horses.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to a wonderful lady who taught me a simple heart connection to use with my horses.  I was hooked and, from that point on, I wanted to learn as much as I could. I started by doing Level I Reiki and after a year of self-practice I went on to do Level II and eventually Master Level. My Reiki lineage is Usui Reiki Ryoho - Japanese Lineage. During this time, I was also introduced to Pellowah healing and I went on to do Level I, II and III which enables me to teach others the wonderful technique of Pellowah as well as work as a practitioner. 

My desire to learn and grow and to get to know my true self continued. After studying different modalities of energy healing, I was eager to continue my journey of self-discovery and I went on to become a Meditation and Mindfulness teacher studying with the Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness (ACMM), specialising in Community and Support Groups, Spiritual Meditation, Mental Health and Wellbeing and Meditation for Women. After graduating with an Advanced Certificate in 2022, I continued on with ACMM, undertaking a Diploma in Meditation and Mindfulness as well as six-week Community Work Placement. 

Over this time, I was also introduced to Sound Healing and I was fortunate to be able to learn this sacred form of healing.

Other studies I have undertaken are TOLK (Tree of Life Kabbalah), studying for three years with one of my mentors, Asharni Arlae. I have been very fortunate to study under Asharni for many years now, including an in depth look at astrology and Star Seed Nations.  

I have completed courses as an End-of-Life consultant as well as a Pet End-of-Life consultant. However, I am not currently practicing these modalities.

 I am currently studying a Masters in Holistic Counselling which I am greatly looking forward to offering in 2025. And I am very excited that I will soon be adding Yoga Nidra to my services offered.

I believe we all have a great purpose on this planet and I have a great interest in the awakening of the spirit and the journey that we take to become our true selves.  One of my passions is working with animals with Reiki and Meditation.

The name Joyful Pilgrim has a very special meaning to me. I believe the journey to becoming our true selves is not always easy, but I believe that it is one worth taking and if we can find an inner joy as we make our pilgrimage through life, as we journey along our spiritual path, what a wonderful achievement that is. Pilgrim is also the name of my beloved horse who started me on the amazing journey I find myself on. He has taught me so much and been beside me through many adventures. He is pure joy, my Joyful Pilgrim. 

My journey is far from over with lots of adventures and learning still to be done. I am so filled with joy to be able to offer energy healing to all sentient beings as well as teaching the benefits of mediation and mindfulness practice in our everyday lives.
