As an ordained interfaith Sufi Cherag (Minister) and registered Buddhist Chaplain, my Christian-Buddhist-Sufi interfaith affiliations allow me to work with different kinds of client faith belief systems.

Directee / Retreatant feedback

“I realised I have the answer, not through words but images and movements. I was not given an answer but a pathway to walk the path.”

“Through various experiences, I see and understand my body, those traumatic issues that block me. It’s deep connection with the Divine and the intuitive leading that allows me to see reality.

This work is important and precious.”

“I have had 7 to 8 different styles of spiritual direction in the past. This is the best so far. It's different. I see God not through distorted filters of my traumatised past. I feel safely held, and whatever turned up, we could process it.”
