Who This Is For

You’ve probably been carrying a lot, and carrying it well.

You’re someone who’s done the work — read the books, journaled your way through confusion, shown up in therapy or coaching, maybe even become a guide for others. You’re bright, curious, diligent. You think deeply and feel even more deeply.

And still, something in you knows: there’s more. Or maybe, there’s something else.

My work is for you if…

• You’re ambitious and capable — but secretly tired of striving.
• You’re articulate and reflective — but find it hard to make peace with your own mind.
• You’re sensitive and thoughtful — but find the world noisy, extractive and too often unkind to tenderness.
• You’re longing for meaningful connection — with yourself, with others, with life — but don’t want another performance.

Maybe something’s shifted — a relationship ending, a role changing, a truth arriving that won’t be pushed away. Maybe you’ve reached the limits of what logic can untangle. Maybe you’re ready to stop fixing, and start listening.

I call this the soul-work of becoming. And if you’re here, you’re probably already in it.

💬 What people are saying

🌾 What I notice in those I work with

You tend to be the hyper-responsible one — reliable, competent, and carrying baffled frustration that you’re still stuck with the same patterns, even though you “should know better.”

You are deeply sincere — about your values, your relationships, your desire to grow. You’ve tried all the ‘right’ things. You’re not afraid of doing the work. But you’re tired of having to do it all alone.

You are ripe for turning — no longer chasing outcomes, but seeking understanding. No longer hunting for fixes, but hungry for integration.

You’re not lost. You’re already on the path. My role is to walk alongside, hold space, and offer other ways of knowing — through your body, your story, your imagination, your quiet.

Sometimes that means helping you discover the other languages of learning you didn’t know you were fluent in — the ones that don’t live in textbooks or timetables, but in tango, art, longing, and listening. Read more about that here →

Languages of Learning

When your usual way of learning stops working, you don’t need to try harder — you need a new door. Explore the many languages learning can speak. Wherever you find yourself, there is a language that can meet you there.

🌙 What brings people here

Often, it’s a moment of quiet disorientation. A sense that the story you’ve been living no longer fits — or that a deeper one is beginning to speak.

You might be…

• Coming out of a relationship and wondering who you are now
• Craving real intimacy but unsure how to ask for it
• Feeling strangely numb despite everything “going well”
• Moving through a professional shift and unsure what’s next
• Teaching, leading, or caregiving — and losing sight of yourself in the process
• Looking around at your life and whispering: surely this isn’t all there is?

What ties it all together is not the topic — but the turning. That moment when something softens, or something breaks, and you realise: you’re ready to come home to yourself.

🏮 The ByHeart Garden Tour…

This guided tour offers a feel for the soulful, creative, and courageous work we do at ByHeart — a gentle guided sequence of writings that walk with you through the turning points.

The ByHeart Garden is a space for thoughtful souls who sense there’s more to life — and more to them — than they’ve had space to explore. What follows is a tour of seven lantern-lit stops, each offering a glimpse of the soulful, creative, and courageous work we do here. Take your time. Let the garden meet you.

If you’d prefer to meet in real time, you’re warmly invited to book a Nesting Call — a soft landing space to explore what’s stirring for you.
