I am a High Priestess, I have always known this. A sacred priestess of Shakti.
I have had dreams and memories of this since I was about 6 years old. I was teased as a child for my power and intuition by other children in school when it wasn't cool, because of my energy, my intensity, and my wild black hair. Other people could sense it, feel it. I was highly emotional, intuitive, and I danced with my heart wide open to the sky. I could make things happen by intention, I saw through people, and situations. I could feel the Goddess protecting me and I felt the light of angels.
I continued dancing to the rhythms of Indian music and Ma Shakti as a teenager in festivals, pujas, concerts and in the temples of Calcutta. I held strong memories in my cellular consciousness of being a priestess even then...like my mother and aunt before me, like my grandmother and great-grandmother before me.
Over the course of my life, I was drawn to sacred sites in various parts of the World, and at each one of them I had strong memories, recall from those places. At 17, I went to the Dhakineswar Temple on the Ganges in Kolkata. This is where my grandmother prayed and where my mother prayed. It is at this holy site where my grandmother conceived my mother and where my mother conceived me. In the Mayan temples of Palenque, Mexico, I had a full bodied sense of being there, many ages ago, walking around and within the standing stones, doing ceremonies on Full and New Moons. I went to Ephesus in Turkey and bought a white and gold sequined robe, which was magical to me. In all these power sites, I felt very powerfully connected.
All the ancient sites, this one Roman,were always built on top of older Gosddess worshipping sites. Mary Magdelane was said to have lived at Ephesus with Mary, Jesus' mother for awhile. I was in Massada in Israel at the Dead Sea on a Full Moon and had an amazing heart racing memory of being there before. When I visited the Caves at Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, when I visited Egypt , ALexandria, Cairo and Thebes I felt totally at home, knowing that I had been to these places in previous lives. When I went to Knossos in Crete,an ancient Goddess centred civilization, I remember feeling that things werwn't painted the right colours, that certain objects had been in the throne room, tables, statues and such. I held a big foreboding ovr my head there, and though I didn't connect with it initially, later a past life connection with another woman brought all the memories back to both of us. I was always drawn to rocks and crystals, and another woman and I shared through a channelling I did, our connection to very powerfull crystals and our life as Priestesses in Atlantis together.
I embodied the High Priestess in performances. I performed as Saraswati, Lilith, Inanna and Salome, which I helped co-created with sacred musicians and artists.

In 2011 I came to live in Ibiza , a small Mediterranean island off the coast of Spain. I had just separated with my husband and came here to rejuvenate and reinvent myself.
My time in Ibiza was magical. It was an island of light and this itself was magical. I learned about myself in a relaxed way. I surrounded myself with nature, the soft green hills and majestic blue skies of the Mediterranean. I ran and swam in deep turquoise waters. I ate salads and fresh juices every day for thee years, ran on the most stunning road to the beach twice a week and I healed. I gave myself all the self-care and self-love I could give myself. I learned to slow down and tune in. I connected deeply to my light and to my Higher-Self and was shown the path to my destiny, my sacred life purpose. I practiced meditation and retreating deep into my inner silence and wisdom. I learned how to harness my intuition, awareness, visualization and manifestation abilities and practiced this spiritual power daily. I danced daily. I prayed daily.
Within three years I had created a dance school called Sacred Dance Ibiza and a speaking/blogging platform Shakti Priestess.
The power and mystery and the force of the island, the Goddess who rules the island, taught me feminine magic – how to transform worry, fear and doubt into trust, love and respect. Now I live my life by a new set of values and core truth. This has become my new identity as an awakened woman. My uniqueness, soul gifts and truth are my sacred gift and treasure. My worth.
I came to Ibiza divorced, without a home, broken, with no hope for the future. The spirit and healing power of this island cleansed me. She breathed life back into my bones… regenerated me. Now I share this ancient feminine path through dance to awaken other women to their right to shine.

I realize now, that the performances were to remind me of my ancient origins, my connection to being a Sacred Priestess in the past.
The Sacred Priestess is the Moon incarnate
Thus she is "virgin" in its original meaning, a woman who is whole, complete unto herself, owned by no man, who does what she does to suit herself according to her own feelings, intuition and rhythms.
This is part of our journey as a Sacred Woman, to explore our darker nature. The dark side of the moon we never see is also a part of us and she represents emotions, the unconscious, your mother, memories, intuition, psychic capabilities, responses, the ebb and flow of cycles, nurturing, home, the womb. Through embracing her we become more complete on the path to wholeness.
Through sacred dance, ritual and ceremony, moon cycles, tarot and oracular training, channeling, crystal work and ancient empowerment techniques, I mentor and empower women to awaken their ancient feminine power and to use their soul gifts towards living their divine destiny and sacred path.
