I met and photographed Michaela in June of 2019 when she was pregnant with Alaya. It’s almost surreal going through these images now to blog. Since this session I went back and stayed with them as a family in September. She made me baths with oils and put me to sleep with singing bowls. The magic in this session was something rare. I think Alaya was inside moving her mums body and showing us the immense amount of light our friendship was creating.

A love story from lifetimes ago.
In this lifetime Andreas and I met in the simplest fashion, he was driving me to my date, and I was intrigued by him. Although we met ten years ago, I felt differently, knowing we had walked a path together before. Logic told me we didn’t make sense, but heart said otherwise. We were both blissfully unaware that a one day we would be dating.
I remember my wise kinesiologist asking, ‘are you ready to meet your soul partner? That was the last thing on my mind, I asked her if my soul partner could be an animal – she laughed and said it could be anything I want it to be. Fast forward one year later, our paths crossed at a festival. Andreas sat next to me; we spoke, and It simultaneously dawned on us that we found each other interesting.
It has been an incredible journey of growth, commitment, downfalls and rebuilding. We have been fortunate to hold each in the worst of times and the best times. Traveling together, sweat lodges together, writing our vision together, saving money together. But most importantly, we give one another the space to be in our own individual wholeness.
Creation – new life
Two individuals, in wholeness, complementing one other, and that is when baby Alaya choose to travel to the earth plane.
It was October 2018, I had decided to embark on a special journey of the ‘Be Woman Project’ in Ibiza, https://bewomanproject.com, to connect to Lakshmi the goddess of abundance, Lalita the goddess of inner beauty, and to the divine feminine within me. During this incredible week I could feel the igniting of Shakti energy, the energy of creation. It was then that soul of the baby visited me in a meditation revealing that she was ready to enter earth side. That was it, Andreas and I set an intention to create, connect and welcome this baby with love, whilst in the beautiful island of Ibiza.
Living craft
Michaela has always been fascinated with the metaphysical realm. When she was little, she would sit and observe energy for hours, noticing that every living element had a vibrating frequency. Her upbringing was the perfect setting to cultivate this, living in a natural surrounding connected to the earth elements and sharing of spiritual knowledge.
Moving to her early adult years she opted to learn more about energy, spirituality and connecting to her subconscious. She has been studying in this realm for over 12 years and offers, Biodynamic Touch, Sound Healing, Yoga, Meditation. She has studied in Reiki, Somatics, & Intuitive Anatomy.
It feels like she has been walking this path for lifetimes and is ready to share her knowledge. Her philosophy is to be open to new experiences and boundless ways to live consciously, she continues to be inspired and humbled by this human experience and what it means to truly live from the heart.

Life is full of interesting introspective people with great ideas and life experiences. Sharing these ideas is how we developed individually and collectively, opening up our minds and hearts to other ways of living and being. There is no need to agree on all topics, there is only a need to be open to hearing what others views, even when they doesn’t fit in the paradigm of our individual lives.

Sharing ideas and concepts, and more importantly providing an open and honest space to discuss them with people, is at the forefront of his mind. There is only one moto he lives by; “Be open, be honest, be compassionate, even if others choose not to be. That is life’s challenge.” ~ strength in the face of adversity.
