About Me


3-4 years ago I was physically and mentally exhausted, overwhelmed and my self-worth had hit rock bottom. I wasn't even paying my bills.

While these were not new feelings, the negative self-talk and little voice in my head were becoming deafening. I was telling myself that the impacts of Covid-19 on my business and finances and my strained relationships were my fate. They were confirmation that I was not enough and I did not deserve happiness.

As I'd done so often in my life, I turned to my conscious mind for solutions. But this time, the latest self-improvement fad, pursuing perfectionism in unimportant projects or diversion tactics, was not going to be enough.

I'm so grateful that I followed the recommendation of my therapist to pursue life coaching as a way to build on my past support of people from all walks of life. I had built such a strong foundation of helping community, elected and organisational leaders be their best in Councils and other levels of government, and my therapist reminded me of this strong foundation.

Within two weeks of enrolling at The Life Coach College, Australia’s leading ICF-accredited mindset and life coaching college, I came face to face with what I now know as the blind spots that had held me back. Or, at the risk of being a bit direct, my own 'brain bullshit.'

I realised that by embracing my unconscious mind, I could choose to have a completely different view of past and future life experiences. I've now taken control of my whole life and choices. And I'm helping others remove the 'blind spots' that stop them from achieving their goals and happiness.
