I worked a a registered nurse for over 20 years which gave me an understanding of the medical model of health and treatment of disease. I observed for myself the amazing things that modern medicine could do, and yet I could see this system did not look at people holistically. I was diagnosed with a life changing illness at 28 years old which was an unexpected turn on the life path I had planned. Alongside the medical model, I explored modalities that supported my overall wellbeing in managing the loss of my health at that time. This led me to discovering yoga and meditation which I found supported me on all levels - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - and assisted me to maintain my own balance and contributed to improving my health. After being a student of yoga for over a decade, I completed my teacher training which gave me a much deeper understanding of the history and traditional practices of yoga, alongside deeper insights into myself.

I am passionate about my own personal development and have walked a path of growth and healing by participating in many experiential retreats and workshops over the years, including some for couples.This has helped me to understand and calm my own reactivity and to face challenges, adversity and losses in my life with a greater sense of peace. I am fortunate to share this journey alongside my partner of 20 years who is equally dedicated to his growth. A teacher of his once said "Being in a relationship is the best personal development workshop in town." I am also passionate about creating spaces for others to grow through self-discovery. I volunteer with two organisations that fulfill that desire - Living Awareness and Woman Within.

After listening to a deep calling within myself, I travelled to Bali to experience a retreat with spiritual teacher Isira in 2011.Soon after, I joined the Living Awareness team dedicated to creating opportunities, through retreats, workshops and webinars, for people to engage with and learn from Isira, a master of meditation and consciouness. I found her teachings and practices to be profound and Isira continues to be an inspirational teacher on my path.

​

I have been actively involved with Woman Within in Australia since 2009, which is part of a voluntary not-for-profit global organisation dedicated to empowering women. I volunteered on the committee bringing the trainings and workshops to Perth for over 10 years and also on the Facilitation team for Woman Within Trainings and Workshops delivered in Perth. I have connections with many wonderful women across the world who encourage me to live and lead authentically and from my truth.

​

As your counsellor I bring my background in nursing and yoga, as well as my experience and dedication to my own growth and development. This enables me to offer a holistic, compassionate and supportive space that invites and encourages you to identify what you want on your path to an improved sense of wellbeing, fulfillment and empowerment.

I look forward to meeting you.
