STORIES. SOUND. WATER. CONNECTION
Creating films, sound experiences and nature-based programs that bring us closer to the natural world.
I've spent my life listening to the natural world.
For more than 20 years I've worked with sound and storytelling in the natural history world, creating immersive soundscapes for wildlife films and documentaries.
Today, that relationship with sound has taken me somewhere new — into experiences that help people slow down, listen and reconnect.
From film and editing, to sound experiences, children's programs and our growing connection with the ocean, everything comes back to one thing:
connection.
PRODUCTION
Stories from the natural world.
Wildlife. Conservation. People. Place.
I bring more than two decades of experience in natural history sound and storytelling to film production and editing — helping stories find their rhythm, emotion and voice.
EXPERIENCE
Sound experiences for slowing down, listening and reconnecting.
Drawing on my background in natural history sound and my work as a certified Peter Hess® Sound Massage practitioner, I create sound experiences for individuals, groups, organisations and retreats.
PLAY
MY SEA & ME Circles - Exploring our inner and outer oceans.
Ocean based sound and sensory play for children that introduces them to emotional awareness, listening and connection with the natural world.
GUIDED BY THE RHYTHMS & WISDOM OF WATER
From film and sound to children’s experiences and ocean retreats, all of my work is inspired by our connection to water and the natural world. As a certified Blue Health Coach®, I’m interested in how spending time in and around blue spaces can shape how we feel, connect and experience the world — from the ocean and the creatures within it, to the water that makes up our own bodies.
TRAILER
BEFORE BLUE MIND WAS A BUZZWORD
Long before mindfulness and “flow” became part of the mainstream conversation, we were curious about why the ocean made us feel so different. Undercurrents grew from that question. Through the experiences of surfers, scientists and ocean lovers, we explored the deeper connection between our minds, bodies and the sea — and why, when we’re paddling out, waiting for a wave or simply immersed in blue space, we can lose that feeling of being separate from the world around us.
“If you think about all the blue spaces that we enjoy so much…when we are paddling or waiting for a set to come in. We have those awe-inspiring moments where we realise the vastness of the environment around us and how small we are but also how significant we are as part of that… You forget that you’re separate from that space” — Lizzi Larbalestier, Blue Health Coach & Blue Mind advocate
What started as a film about surfing became a much bigger exploration of fear, flow, connection and our relationship with the ocean — a theme that continues to ripple through my work today.

Undercurrents — The beautiful dance between connection and compassion
THERE’S NO BETTER TEACHER THAN WATER (& RELAXATION!)
Water has a lot to teach us — including how to slow down, adapt and flow.
As a certified Blue Health Coach and Peter Hess® Sound Massage practitioner, I’m fascinated by the relationship between the water around us and the water within us. Blue Health explores how our connection with blue spaces can support relaxation, connection, wellbeing and creativity. And, as Lizzi Larbalestier describes it, we are also “embodied water” — carrying our own little ocean within us.
When we experience sound, the vibrations travel through the body’s fluid-rich tissues. During a sound massage or sound immersion, you can actually feel those vibrations moving through you — creating a deeply physical experience of sound and relaxation.
Relaxation creates space. Space allows us to expand, think differently and access creativity.
Drawing on my background in natural-history sound, I create sound experiences for individuals, groups, organisations, team-building sessions and retreats — all inspired by the rhythms and wisdom of water.
