Devoted to the heart of the matter, and deeply passionate towards Gaia, quantum energy, art, nature, food, sound, connection, play and authentic living.....

Based in the beautiful surrounds of the Moray Firth in the Highlands of Scotland with my two children, I'm dedicated towards the co creation and nurturing of conscious community, rooted in nature, in cadence with Earth's flow.

To see us Flourish and Thrive together is my greatest goal!

A multi disciplinary Artist, Yoga, Sound and Somatics Practitioner, Karuna Reiki Master, Professional Forager and Earth Elder, Forestry and Conservation Consultant and Grants Specialist in Eco Land and Community Projects. 

I also love organising gatherings to celebrate and nurture wellbeing through workshops, sound baths and classes, community shares and swaps, music, dance food and play.

My inspiration comes from life itself....from being blind to my own choices, following unbalanced programming for a long time, to a major life change through whole Being breakdown coupled with a life long, rooted knowing there was more and a  heart fuelled passion for all things natural.  

Growing up rurally, remotely and nomadically brought a deep seated connection and symbiotic relationship with my inner dialogue and nature herself.

Nature and the Quantum wonder of the Universe has provided me with an endless gift of seeking out ever greater ways of Being and finding Oneness with my surroundings. 

So much so it's the reason that drives me passionately and playfully to  share my life's treasures, knowledge, skills and creations. 

Before co-founding Natura Collective, my previous career spanned over 15 years specialising in Landscape restoration, native woodland creation, grants and portfolio & contract management .  I have come back from long term illness through a complete mind, body and Soul reset through movement, nutrition, mindset, rewiring, holistic practice and sheer determination to life to the fullest, I wanted deeply to give back what I've learned to help others find their magic and thrive in life.

I am deeply connected with the Earth, Nature and the Mother and these connections run deeply through all of my offerings and daily lived practices.

When I'm not busy creating deep peace and connection in nature, you might also find me sharing space in my friend's Pottery Studio, Fifth Element Pottery.

Rooted in Nature, in Cadence with Mother's Rythyms... You can find me here or through my website www.rootsandcadence.com,  or on fb and instagram.

Green Builder, Artisan Cob Fiddler, Forager, Nature Lover, Drummer, Father, Dancer, Eco Somatic Therapist and Moongazer.

I learned about Earth Building and Ecologically sustainable design and implementation over 14 years ago at Batipole Adult Learning Centre for Eco Building and Heritage Building techniques.  

Where stone, earth, carpentry, lime, hemp, straw, sacred geometry and bio climatic architectural design models met with heart lead conscious intention.  

This birthed a passion for creating healthy and bio symbiotic shelters,  where the natural universal frequencies of Earth are interwoven and become amplified within the intention, design, implementation and living experiences of those who build and reside in the space. 

I was fortunate enough to grow up rurally in the wild and rugged north of Scotland landscape where foraging, connection to nature, organic gardening and being immersed in nature was my daily life.  

The power and magic in the landscape surrounding me, of the woods, the rivers, the mountains and elements was my biggest teacher and giver of knowledge, wisdom and a sense of the deeply connected understanding of our symbiotic existence in our environment. 

I am an intuitively led creative Being, listening through my heart, I love to create union between the Earth’s needs, my clients desires and that of the elements I dance with to produce structures and spaces which provide the inhabitants and visitors to, harmony and balance both within and out with.  

As co founder of Natura Collective I feel joyous and excited to bring back ancient, timeless heritage building techniques and practices and the potential that these bring for the survival and nurturing our future and that of the Earth needs right now.  

My favourite elements to dance with are Earth, stone, timber, lime, straw and hemp and the seamless union between state of the art modern building technologies and techniques with an ancient understanding of the properties and behaviours of these organic, living materials.  

Earth building comes naturally to me  because at the heart of it is the essence of play, it connects me to my inner child, and brings about the innocence and freedom to experiment and create where the possibilities are endless and the process grounds me in the present moment, rooted in the Earth, I grow in the heart of Nature.  

Quality control - local natural materials, building footprint, blending seamlessly into the Earth,  longevity and composability and renewability.  Functionality and practicality and mindfulness of finite resources.

When I'm not creating magic in Nature at Natura Collective, I love to have fun with my kids, jamming and dancing in the elements and generally being lost in nature.

I love to be part of a conscious heart led team and you can find me here or at Earthen Ground website, for all your conscious building and education facilitation needs.
