A little bit about me…

I am an embodied psychosynthesis Astrologer whose focus is aimed at helping others create a greater sense of awareness, find perspective and honour a deep connection to the Self.  

Black Cygnet Wellness was founded in 2019 after a life long passion to merge both esoteric and scientific theories through the methods of astrological and psychosynthesis coaching, mindfulness practices, and sound therapy.

I am an American living in London with clients from all over the world including dignitaries, leading executives of global organisations, entrepreneurs, and wellbeing retreat centres.  I offer 1:1 transformational mentoring sessions, sound baths, workshops, and retreats.

My development and learning over the years began in 2003 when I first studied the Usui Reiki healing method under Zari Pirasteh (Seva).  Through this method, not only did I discover the subtle connection between inner and outer forces, I also discovered that healing happens within various layers of our experience like the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical planes.  This master training opened me up to a new world and awakened a deeper connection to my personal magic.

This venture or mission of mine started with humble beginnings and a willingness to respond to a little voice that I heard in my ear while sitting under an Avalon Full Moon. 

As a person with a 15 year background in corporate information technology, I was absolutely shocked at the notion that this little voice suggested I’m meant to be an Astrologer.  This voice I am referring to is what I consider as my Higher Self, or perhaps what some might call their spirit guide.  I’ve had a strong connection to this voice since I was very young and it generally appears during significant moments in my life, so I knew it meant business.

Overcoming my fears of what people would think about me, I made a step into a world and life that I could never have dreamed of.  From a year long Astrology apprenticeship in 2018, I then became a full time astrologer and cut my teeth for the next few years working as a consultant for a New York based Astrology brand.

In 2019, I certified as a Level II Gong Practitioner under Mark Swan and began facilitating Astrology and Gong Baths.  In 2020, I completed an excellent and potent 220 hour Yoga Alliance training under trauma therapist Carolyn Cowan.  In 2021, I then began an in-depth Psychosynthesis mentorship program with Mark Jones and Keith Hackwood which completed in early 2023.  

I am also in regular supervision with the above mentors and am extremely grateful for their wisdom and guidance.

I hope sharing my story about listening to that little voice inspires you to listen to your own, or begin to re-establish a connection to that voice so that you can make choices that are in absolute alignment with where you are meant to be.
