About Me

Stories that transform, ceremonies that reconnect, wisdom that remembers.
For twenty-five years I’ve been walking a ceremonial path – unwinding old tales so their original wisdom can flow through again, creating spaces where stories become medicine.
I trained with Clarissa Pinkola Estés (author of Women Who Run With The Wolves) and actors from the legendary Peter Brook Company, learning that the deepest stories aren’t just told – they are lived, embodied, remembered. For the last fifteen years, I’ve supported initiation rites and vision quests, working with and learning from shamans in Mexico and Ecuador, discovering how the old ways of storytelling can guide transformation.

Storytelling with Whispering Wood Folk

My work has taken me from the iron decks of Brunel’s SS Great Britain (where I spent a decade as Storyteller in Residence) to crossing the Atlantic with thirteen women as part of eXXpedition, weaving environmental science with adventure and love of the earth. I’ve told stories in ancient woodlands with Whispering Wood Folk, in the magical world of the Roald Dahl Foundation, and in hundreds of schools, theatres, museums and sacred spaces.

In 2016, I was named Bard of Glastonbury – a recognition for storytellers, poets and songwriters who live within walking distance of the Tor.These days, I create retreats where ancient myths meet modern transformation, host Mooney’s Mythic Podcast exploring the stories that shape us, and hold space for people to remember what the old tales have to teach about initiation, shadow work, and becoming fully human.

Storytelling at sea as part of eXXpedition

If you long to work with stories as transformation, to sit at the fireside and hear myths that medicine the soul, to walk the old ceremonial paths that our ancestors knew – you’ve found your guide.
