About Me

As a child I was always fascinated by mythology and stories and what better way to blend the two than observe the heavens at night where I would weave all sorts of tales about the constellations.  

I travelled the world extensively in the 1970s and 1980s, always interested in the people I met and their lives.  My favourite mode of transport was walking (it still is!) – just me and my backpack, always eager to see where the road would take me or what adventure awaited around the next bend.  To finance my travels I wrote and sold articles to magazines.  

When it came time to finally “settle down” I studied archaeology and mythology at Melbourne University while I raised a family.   In the late 1990s I walked the pilgrimage route across France and Spain and it was during this time that I was able to reflect on the direction of my life.  What were my hopes and dreams?  How could I make them happen?  Such is the nature of a pilgrimage.

In 1999 I fulfilled a long-held dream.  I moved to Egypt where I lived, worked and studied Egyptology for three years.  When I wasn’t guiding tourists around the temples, I could be found in the desert at night watching the stars.  It was during this time that my interest in astrology was rekindled.

On my return from Egypt I began my formal study of astrology while at the same time completing a Graduate Diploma at Melbourne University on Renaissance and Medieval Studies.  A special interest of mine is the history of astrology from its beginnings 5,000 years ago.  I am particularly interested in the hermetic movement of the sixteenth century and this has become an area of research for me.

I am currently living and consulting in Melbourne but Egypt is never far from my mind. My husband and I guide small groups to this most wonderful country whose people fill you will joy and hope and whose past is a reminder of the grace and wisdom that once connected us all.  

My greatest achievement, however, has been in supporting my children as they have grown into adulthood with the choices they have made in their young lives.  I credit the power of astrology for this.  They, in their own way, have become “mini astrologers” in the process, and have agreed that a knowledge of astrology has certainly helped them in their relationships with friends and to have the courage and fortitude to follow their own unique direction in life.
