About Me

Fly To Freedom With Self-Love
It’s the tag-line of my business, and it’s embraced in all my courses and programmes.  The feeling of freedom comes from you, it doesn’t come from an external ‘thing’ or ‘achievement’ or ‘other’.  To break free from the shackles of the past, I first had to unlock the innate wisdom of my heart. It’s taken time, and it hasn’t been easy, but my-oh-my has it been an epic journey so far!

Inner Strength = Innercise!
One of the biggest things I’ve learnt is it all starts from within.  But ‘within’ can be a scary place to explore when you’ve spent years suppressing the REAL you. So, to keep it light and fun, I call this otherwise daunting task – Innercise! It’s when you build your self-confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-love over time using techniques, and strategies I’ve tried and tested and gained immense benefit from.  From overcoming abuse, heart ache, rejection, and fear, I’ve learnt that before you can trust others, help others, and fully love others… you must first trust, help, and love yourself!

Opportunity For CHANGE
Throughout my corporate career and the various change management programs I have been involved in, I have always redefined the word “change” to represent the: Chance To Have A New Growth Experience.  But, it’s not always easy to embrace and welcome change, is it!? What often stops growth are the limiting beliefs, and stories we tell ourselves about what we can and can’t do.  The simple act of redefining this ONE word has been life ‘changing’ for me! Trust me, life is never boring when you’re on the lookout for CHANGE! ?

New Growth Experiences
But – there’s that voice in your head isn’t there? The one who chastises you when you do something wrong.  The one who says you’re not doing enough.  The one who says you’re still not good enough.  I know it well, because it’s haunted me for years. It’s the voice of your inner critic, and it knows exactly how to keep you playing safe. So; how do you embrace new growth experiences when this voice just won’t let up!? I discovered that the first step is awareness of the voice, the second step is acknowledgment of its concerns, the third step is having the inner strength to say “thank you, I’ve got this!” Now, as a self-confessed recovering perfectionist this is easier said than done… but trust me it is possible, and I can show you how…

Awakening Purpose
Without purpose, without intention, it feels like you’re lost in a dark void.  Like you’ve hit rock-bottom.  Like you don’t know yourself anymore. Yup, I’ve been there.  I know how debilitating it is. Feeling off-track, directionless, or stuck, is energy-sapping, love-sapping, and spirit-sapping.  That’s why I developed the “Pathway To Purpose: The Complete Awakening”.  This program meets you where you’re at, and supports you towards, a lighter, brighter more purpose-FULL you.  Part of this is understanding it’s not your fault, you’re not alone, and support is available to help you find your true path, beyond the clouds of confusion.

Journey To Me – Becoming Functionally Self-ISH
It’s the book I needed to write to become the me I am now.  It’s the revealing, intimate story of my pathway to purpose and self-love.  From a self-confessed perfectionist, self-saboteur, people pleaser, and self-sacrificer to the strong, independent, business builder I am today.  How did I make it through the tough times? Well, it involved releasing the shackles of societal conditioning and expectations, and becoming functionally self-ISH.  Meaning I finally put my needs first, I finally looked inside and found my inner wisdom and guides to move forward with a greater sense of self and purpose. And trust me, when you put self-love to the top of the list… your world starts changing for the better!

Energies & Intimacy
Your internal relationship affects your relationships with others.  When I was feeling self-loathing, my relationships suffered too. The balance of Feminine and Masculine energies within you is important, and when you discover how to express these more effectively you can regain a sense of balance, peace, and harmony in both your internal and external world.  When I got ‘in touch’ and intimate with my two inner guides (I affectionately call them “Charlie” and “Tammy”) it allowed me to create dramatic changes in all areas of life especially where I felt weak, incompetent or discouraged.  Understanding energies is a crucial factor for accelerating self-growth! And please know intimacy can be expressed both within yourself, and with others.  It’s not just about sex ?

Awareness Is Key
So often we do things in auto-pilot.  Those default patterns and behaviours that keep you getting the same results.  There was a period of my life where I seemed to keep choosing the ‘wrong’ path.  The ‘wrong’ people.  Making the ‘wrong’ choices.  I thought I was making progress, but kept ending up in the same situation of being taken for granted… and hating myself for it.  ‘Change’ was never satisfactory until I became aware of the default, habitual patterns, thoughts and feelings that kept me stuck on the merry-go-round of pain and disappointment. I found awareness of these sneaky ‘saboteurs’ was key to breakthrough personal growth!

Nurture You, First
Always looking after others, always putting yourself last.  As a woman I thought this was just how it was.  Until I got so exhausted, and depleted, something had to change! So, instead of relying on someone else for validation, acceptance, love and worthiness.  I did the work required to unhook from the external influences and go deep within to find the ‘thing’ I always felt was ‘missing’. Me.  The REAL me underneath, who had somehow got smothered by all the pain, and problems, and heartache of life. It may seem counterintuitive but I’ve found the best way to help others… is to indeed nurture you, first.

Nourish – Mind, Body, & Soul
Mind food. Body food. Soul food.  Nourishment is much more than what you eat! Learning how to be more nurturing and loving of myself involved becoming more conscious of what type of fuel I was consuming, what kind of beliefs I was believing, and what type of environment I was choosing to have influence on me.  It was only when I decided to become my own best friend – and do whatever it takes to nourish ME, that I unearthed the amazing strength and beauty of my being. Now, as you can imagine, I’m super passionate about all things mind, body and soul!

Explore & Embrace
Joining The Coaching Institute in Melbourne 3 years ago opened me up to a whole new world. A world beyond corporate life and endless self-sacrificing circumstances! Live events, programs, and meeting amazing people started to open my eyes to all the potential within me, and the amazing potential of those around me.  And although it was both overwhelming and exhilarating at the time, I was all of a sudden catapulted into a new realm of self-awareness and self-exploration.  I was hooked…

Now my focus is to provide unconditional support for women looking for a new direction, a new path, a new sense of self so that they can develop and grow their own inner strength too.

I encourage you to explore all options, take the time you need, and… join me on this unique journey back to YOU!
