About Me
I've been a teacher all my adult life but I've lived an alternative out-of-the box lifestyle. I've traveled a lot and lived 42 years outside of the UK. I originally taught in regular schools but quickly progressed to creating my own circus school and sustainability project where I taught many skills to kids of all ages. I especially enjoyed sharing my passion for sustainability with the several hundred young adult interns who spent weeks or months experiencing life in our ecovillage in Hawaii. I've written two books and many articles about my community development days and look forward to sharing more about how, why and what to do to live more sustainably. I will customize every course I lead to suit the needs and interests of each student who I work with.Education

In 1987 I founded the Bellyacres artistic ecovillage with a vision to experiment with sustainable community living practices. We started with raw jungle and had no potable water, no grid power, no telephone service, lots of rocks, and very little soil. We had to learn how build, grow and produce power all off grid and all with a very low budget. Our core values were based around the pursuit of an organic and renewable energy lifestyle using permaculture principles. However, there was a whole lot more.
Through hard work and trial and error we developed sustainable systems for food, energy, transport, water, construction and most important for community connection. We were described as one of the most sustainable communities in the USA in 2010. We accommodated as many as 40 residents and in 2007 built the Seaview Performance Arts Center for Education which quickly evolved to become a multi-purpose community center hosting two public schools, two weekly farmers markets, a wide range of performance arts programs and performances plus community meetings and events.
In 2012 the Hawaii Governor said “Bellyacres encourages renewable non-petroleum based energy, sustainable food cultivation and resource reprocessing and serves as the gathering place for a community of 1200 homes and 3000 residents.” U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye commended Bellyacres for “providing a positive, enriching and safe place that helps motivate the entire community with a focus on self sufficiency and self improvement.”
I will share with you all I know after living 30 years in an ecovillage and transforming a local community on a remote pacific island. I believe that ecovillages and small-scale communities through their own radical sustainable experimentation can serve as sustainability demonstration models for rural and urban communities in the coming years of climate change.

Buddhist Meditation Instruction - Learn to be exactly who you are.“Meditation doesn’t work!”
Has this thought ever crossed your mind?
Maybe you’ve tried meditation or even done some mindfulness exercises. Sure, they might have helped you relax, maybe encouraged you to take a deep breath or two (or more) and maybe you felt a bit better. But then you got sick and scared, or had a fight with your partner, or yelled at a stranger. And you thought, “Well, eff that. I’ve been meditating for days/months/years and I’m still a jerk. Meditation doesn't work.”
And you are right.
Meditation doesn’t work if what we are trying to do is bypass the difficulties and discomfort of being a human being. If you are trying to change who you are. Then meditation definitely doesn’t work.
But it does work if what you are seeking is to suffer less. Or at least to suffer well. And you don’t even need to be a Buddhist to explore Buddhist meditation.
I look forward to meditating with you. We can practice, then talk about practice and life. It’s kind of the same thing.

Private coaching for CV help and spring week finance internship applicationsI have recently been accepted into JP Morgan's spring week internship which required extensive preparation. I can give a helping hand through private coaching on CV writing, cover letters, networking, online interview prep, basic finance and macroeconomic knowledge. I have also been a part of a stock pitch competition where my stock got chosen and so I can offer insights in how to pitch, confidence and how to keep on top of research.

Group Creative Therapy: Story-making for WellbeingThese online workshops offer opportunity for arrival, expansion and connection through a combination of meditation, movement and story-making exercises.
Each workshop lasts 90 minutes and a typical session may include stretching and movement exercises, improvisation games, collaborative storytelling and guided meditation. Each session offers the opportunity for experiencing and practicing grounding (being connected to our present space and time) and offers us connection with our imagination, with our creativity and with the others in our group.
Testimonials from past participants:
“It feels like Vicky’s created a space that will mould itself to our shapes, rather than us having to find a way to fit in.”
“I always leave feeling like it was worthwhile and like we creatively achieved something. Even if it's something small. Very gratifying stuff for quite a short length of time.”
“It is really beneficial to have someone facilitating these thought processes in the way that Vicky does. It is evident that Vicky carefully curates these exercises to meet the mood of the 'room'.”
“I often come out of the workshops feeling refreshed - a state that is quite hard to attain during this period of lockdown and mundanity.”

Personal support and professional coaching via a transcendental and holistic approachAs a therapist specializing in transcendental psychology, my approach is rooted in a practice of ancestral wisdoms, particularly those from Amazonian traditions. I integrate elements of transpersonal psychology, a school of thought that explores the spiritual dimensions of human experience.
I focus on conscious observation and personalized coaching to guide each individual towards reconnecting with their innate inner wisdom. By recognizing that each life experience, whether perceived as positive or negative, offers an opportunity for growth, I help the people I coach to transform these events into levers for personal development.
My holistic approach considers the human being in its entirety, encompassing the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. Inspired by practices such as holotropic breathing and mindfulness meditation, I facilitate the exploration of the depths of the soul, thus allowing a release of blockages and an inner harmonization.
I offer individual sessions and group workshops, adapted to the specific needs of each person, aimed at:
Promote the awakening of consciousness: by developing an attentive presence to oneself and to the surrounding world.
Encourage self-exploration: to identify and transcend limiting patterns inherited from the past.
Integrating life experiences: transforming challenges into opportunities for learning and growth.
Strengthening spiritual connection: by opening up to transpersonal dimensions of existence.
Together, we will work to unleash your latent potential, harmonize your energies and align you with your true essence, in order to live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Personal Development /mentoring/empowerment (well being, relationships, work, health, sport, nutrition )As a basketball coach and mentor, I’ve spent years helping individuals tap into their hidden potential, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. Through the dynamic world of sports, I’ve had the privilege of transforming not only athletic performance but also mental strength, and attitude in young ages and older individuals. Through this capacity I discovered my natural talent to help people discover their true potential and release talents and personal trends that many times they didn't believe they possess. This is particularly true in parents, as they saw their kids developing in ways that was a surprise followed by true excitement.
Basketball and sports are more than game—it’s a reflection of life. It teaches confidence, fkexibility, resilience, teamwork, focus, and the ability to adapt under pressure. These same principles are the foundation of my life coaching approach. By combining my experience on the court with a deep understanding of personal growth and mindset transformation, I offer a unique mentoring experience that helps you excel both personally and professionally.
Whether you’re seeking clarity in your life, overcoming setbacks, or simply striving to reach the next level, my mentoring will guide you. Just as I’ve inspired my players( and parents) to reach new heights on and off the court, I’m here to help you rewrite your story and become the best version of yourself.
Many parents trusted me to guide their kids. Many adults proffesionals trusted me for their most challenging problems inside the court and in their life. I am proud to say that I positively contributed to their life journey.
Are you ready to take the first step toward unlocking your full potential? Join me in this transformative experience, and let’s achieve greatness together.
