Short bio

For the past twenty years I have worked in the events industry, planning and producing major sport events, festivals and public events, specialising in transport. I love the challenge and excitement that comes with planning complex systems such as moving people through transport, public space and the event site. I always seek to create a joyful crowd experience, and to do that is to create a safe environment. So after training as a Safety Officer, securing my NEBOSH in fire safety, and completing a masters in Crowd Safety & Risk Analysis, I now focus on creating safety at events and other places people gather, as well as supporting those who plan and deliver these events.

A lifetime career in the events industry has brought me immense joy but also burnout. I loved what I did but the way we worked didn‘t feel sustainable. When I began to challenge the status quo and determine there must be another way, I discovered something I now want to share with you.

My work explores safety from dual perspectives: the external world of events and crowd safety, and my personal studies of psychology, transactional analysis, neurophysiology and quantum mechanics. By approaching this subject from both angles, I aim to deepen my understanding of human nature and explore how we can cultivate safety within ourselves while ensuring safety in gatherings. My writing includes language from Human Design, Tibetan Buddhism, Native American Ehama, Pilates, Psychology, Neuroscience and Biology.

I am a qualified Fletcher Pilates teacher, trained in pre and post natal and biomechanics. I am in training to qualify as a Human Design Analyst and have been working with the system since 2020.

Over the past few years we have been inundated with news stories, articles and conversations about the post-pandemic crowd, who appear to have become more deviant and anti-authority than we have seen in years. Since the events industry restarted after lockdown, we have experienced mass deviant behaviour on an unprecedented
