I am a DJ with over 20 years of experience playing for crowds at some of the most well-respected venues, events, and festivals across the globe. I have played DJ sets for crowds of anywhere between a small, intimate group, right up to over 10,000 people at events such as 'Burning Man' in the USA.    My styles can either be of a dance tempo involving deep, melodic, trance-inducing beats, which are perfect for any dancefloor space large or small.   Or I have many years of experience in selecting the perfect eclectic soundtrack for sunset moments, chill-out spaces, or creating magical background atmospheres within various events and spaces.   For all enquiries, please contact me here.

As a qualified crystal healer, I can come to your home and provide a 1hr crystal healing session.   We can work on any areas you may be aware of that require some attention. Or I can do a full body scan and assessment, free up an unbalanced energy flow within the body and bring everything back into alignment.   I can also free the body from any negative energies and restore positive balance and harmony within. These sessions are a fantastic way to relieve stress and promote healing. For more information or booking enquiries, please contact me here.

I occasionally organise one-off events such as outdoor sound journeys & gong baths in magical woodland locations, peaceful parks or on beautiful beaches. Sometimes under the stars with a fire. Any upcoming events like this will be listed HERE (Eventbrite). So be sure to check regularly.   I also occasionally organise all-night puja events. Guests are invited to bring comfy bedding and everything they need to spend a whole night sleeping to the subtle healing frequencies of gongs and other powerful healing instruments that continue throughout the whole night. These events will begin with a welcome ceremony, followed by a beautiful meditation session. After this, we all lay down, get comfortable, relax and slowly fall into a beautiful deep sleep. In the morning we gently awaken feeling refreshed, revitalised and re-energised. Any upcoming events like this will be listed here. So be sure to check regularly.

I am also available for various events such as festivals, corporate functions, weddings, etc. I regularly receive bookings across the UK, in Europe and beyond. I have provided sound journeys & gong baths in gardens, halls, marquees, tents, private villas and even upon large private boats! Anything is possible… Please contact me with your enquiry.

I offer private immersive sound journey & gong bath sessions for groups of up to 19 people. These can be completely tailored to your specific requirements.   We can work with a theme of your choice, or I am happy to make helpful suggestions. Popular themes tend to be complete relaxation sessions, stress relief, recharge & re-energizing, and events around the time of a new moon (perfect for setting new intentions) or a full moon (a great opportunity to let go of things that no longer serve us). I have two beautiful venues that I regularly use in Bournemouth and in Southbourne. I often use these for private group sessions and provide everything that is needed for you and your friends to enjoy a magical sound and vibration journey like no other.
