About Me

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society — Jiddu Krishnamurti

I never really knew what I wanted in life. Instead, I pursued goals that were always misaligned, chasing whatever I believed would provide status and security. I was unconsciously responding to my conditioning and conforming to societal expectations. Though I did not realize it at the time, I was in a state of suffering.

Thankfully the cosmos, in its infinite wisdom, has a way of bringing us back into alignment - through failure. I was blessed with failures in various aspects of life which forced me to confront the reality of my situation. I realized that the more I pushed and strived and chased, the worse things got. My health quickly deterioriated. I had no choice but to stop, rest and listen to that quiet inner voice.

It was time to stop fighting the universe.

I could not understand what was happening to me at first, but I was fortunate to discover the teachings of non-duality. I began to see the subtle ways the ego operates. How it always pulls us in the wrong direction and how it inevitably produces suffering, depression, exhaustion and illness.

I was profoundly impacted by the teachings and pointers of J Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle and Ramesh Balsekar to name just a few. I was also at times led astray by those with false wisdom and spiritual egos. The path is rarely straight, but by trusting my intuition I eventually found the way.

The last few years have been a process of spiritual development in which the energy of my body has shifted. I have transitioned from someone who was largely fearful, stressed, and sickly to being healthier, content and awake. I live in a state of greater surrender and peace. And I am able to tap into my true talents, healing power and creative potential.

I hope to share some insights with you and help you awaken to a life of greater health and mental well-being. I created Nondual Astrology to facilitate this process, incorporating the ancient art of reading the stars with nondual wisdom to help you see the interconnectedness of all things and remove any blockages to your natural state of health and happiness.
