I’m a speaker, retreat leader, and solo travel coach, and my work centers on the life-changing power of travel, the courage to trust yourself, and the freedom that comes from stepping beyond the familiar.
Since 2011, I’ve led retreats in England, Ireland, and the United States, creating experiences that invite both outer adventure and deep inner transformation.
Through speaking engagements, workshops, podcasts, and retreats, I share how solo travel and stepping into the unknown can awaken confidence, rebuild self-trust, and help you reconnect with the life that feels truly yours.
I often speak about the deeper side of these experiences, the moments when learning to listen to your own inner authority becomes the turning point that changes everything.
I’m the founder of Spiral Path Journeys and the creator of The Retreat Way, a mentorship program where I teach aspiring retreat leaders how to design meaningful, transformational retreats while learning to trust their own guidance, voice, and leadership.

What if travel isn’t just about seeing new places, but about finding your way back to yourself?
I recently joined Autumn Carter Autumn Carter on the Wellness in Every Season podcast to talk about the deeper side of solo travel: how stepping into the unknown can strengthen self-trust, reconnect you with your intuition, and remind you who you are beneath all the roles you carry.
We also explored sacred places, retreats, practical travel tips, and why the place you’re drawn to just might be calling you for a reason.
Whether you’re curious about solo travel, feeling called to join a retreat, or simply looking for a way to reconnect with yourself,I think you’ll enjoy this conversation.

Sometimes we outgrow the very spaces that once helped us grow.
Whether it’s a community, mentorship, or coaching group, leaving can be surprisingly hard, especially when there was once so much value there. But when you realize you’ve started giving someone else’s authority more weight than your own, it may be time to trust yourself enough to leave.
I recently had a wonderful conversation with Judy Murdoch on her podcast about my own experience with exactly this on When a Supportive Community No Longer Works for You.
