More about me
Life Coach & Counsellor
At an early age, a series of challenging circumstances led me to an ongoing search for meaning in life. I began studying yoga, meditation and the texts of Eastern religions in my mid teens, wanting to make sense out of the chaos and pain of life.
At 21, I left Australia to travel. Instead, I found myself studying ancient texts in a seminary in Jerusalem for several years, then I moved to the US for 25 years. I continued my studies of philosophy and spirituality. I also studied and experienced breath work, the Enneagram, Inner Child work, Pranic Energy Healing, Primal Therapy, Reiki, parts work, shadow work, Family Constellations, and other body centred therapies. Later, I found tremendous insight and healing through plant medicine ceremonies in Peru.
For over twenty years, I co-led and participated in women's groups with Women Within International, facilitating retreats for women and couples, as well as counselling and coaching women looking to free themselves from their own stuck places.
​​
By learning to heal my own trauma story with love, compassion and presence, I discovered that I could be free of the cycles of the past, with anxious thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
Ageing, divorce and menopause brought unexpected challenges and also new insights and skills. I would like to share these with women like you, who would also like to find more peace and love and beauty in themselves and their lives.
​My education and training: I have a Masters in Education with a major in Guidance and Counselling and am a member of the Australian Counselling Association, Level 3. I am also an International Coach Federation certified Life Coach. I have studied a 200 hour Trauma Informed Yoga teacher training. As well as the healing modalities I studied in the US, I hold a certificate in Grief Studies and have studied and am informed by Internal Family Systems and meditation.
​​
My extensive lived experience and studies provide a foundation and a range of tools that we may use for our work together.​ I look forward to supporting you to find your own path to freedom, authenticity, joy and true self love. I believe we all are, part of a larger whole and we are all connected. I also believe this energy, or whatever you name it, is here to not only love and support us, it is our essence; each one of us can connect to it when we choose, in each moment. We just need to learn how.​
