Two Paths.
One Conversation.

​I’ve spent most of my life following questions wherever they lead.

Not just artistic questions, but human ones.

Questions about creativity, change, identity, imagination, and what becomes possible when we move beyond the familiar.

They’ve taken me into music, hypnosis, neuroscience, the wonderfully strange terrain of being human, and more than a few adventures I never saw coming.

Again and again, I find myself drawn to the moment something hidden becomes visible, something constrained becomes free, or something forgotten remembers itself.

Over time, those questions have shaped both my life in the arts and my work helping people reconnect with themselves.

 

They may look like separate paths from the outside.

To me, they are different doors into the same conversation.

Start wherever your curiosity pulls you.

Music & Performance

Radically traditional flutist, sound explorer, & contemporary music specialist.

Performances, creative projects, collaborations, and immersive experiences that live just beyond the edges of the familiar.

Hypnosis & Change Work

Integrative hypnotist, change work coach, and devoted explorer of human transformation.

Authentic expression, self-trust, and the courage to come home to yourself.

A virtuoso testimony from a remarkably fearless and deeply imaginative artist.

I feel more like myself than I have in years. The first session was more helpful than months of other work I've tried.

A little bit about me...

I’ve never fit neatly into one box.

I’m an artist, radically traditional flutist, Integrative Hypnotist, Change Work Coach, and builder of things that didn’t exist yet.

I’ve performed on stages around the world, helped build arts organizations and creative communities, founded and led businesses, and spent more than 25 years creating a life and career outside the usual templates.

When I’m not making music or helping someone create change, I’m probably wandering through the woods, disappearing into a fantasy or science-fiction book, knitting my next favourite sweater, deep-diving into a new fascination, or befriending every local cat I meet.

My life has never followed a straight line.

I like it that way.
