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.​
