About me

I am a space-holder, people-weaver, idea-sparker, activator. I try to move with care, joy, and intention.

I am a facilitator, mediator and coach, and am currently studying for a Masters of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School. Some things I am learning about include: moral conflict, relational repair, spiritual care, community organising, religious approaches to social justice, and more.

I am a co-founder and board member of Routes, a London-based organisation supporting women seeking asylum to rebuild the lives they want to live. The organisation was founded in 2017, in direct opposition to the UK’s hostile asylum system.

I am a white, university-educated, queer, neurodivergent British person, and I try to move from a place of awareness of the privileges and challenges that I have experienced because of my intersecting identities. I know that people experience things I have not, and I remain open to that which I do not know, seeking understanding and showing up with compassion.

I come from a long line of artists, makers, healers, teachers, and entrepreneurs, originally from Eastern and Southwestern Europe, now in the UK.

"Daisy holds spaces with absolute care and expertise. It's such a rare and sacred feat to feel so free and supported, whilst also being intellectually and creatively pushed to see what comes up."
