A bit about me...

​

I am a self-confessed jack-of-all trades and have been exploring things like breathwork, somatic practices like yoga, sound journeys, cold water immersion and other ways of accessing flow states for many years. I get to play in different spaces - running 1:1 and small group sessions, face-to-face classes, programs, retreats, workshops, courses and offer lots of free resources through a number of platforms.​ I am a trained counsellor and have studied a number of psychotherapy protocols including Process Orientated Psychology. Recently (2025), I completed Level 1 Zenthai Shiatsu with the founder Gwyn Williams and am incorporating this modality into what I offer.

​

I am interested in trauma focused practices and the exploration of progressive therapeutic interventions for trauma recovery. I'm a bit of a nerd - I love layman's neuroscience and learning new stuff in that field.

​

In the yoga arena, I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for about 30 years and completed my first yoga teacher training in 2006. I teach classes and workshops locally and online, I've developed and facilitated yoga teacher training, and do some mentoring with yoga teachers. I wouldn't really consider myself a proper yoga teacher type though (whatever that means!).

​​​

In the past few years, I have become interested in deathwork and immersed myself in this space, training as a death doula, end-of-life consultant and Deathwalker. In 2023, I co-founded a registered charity - the Highlands End-of-Life Project which keeps me pretty busy!

​

My background is so broad – as well as the wellbeing offerings, my work has included government, legal, community and higher education sectors. I pick up contracts here and there, sometimes work up at the UNE, and also work as a consultant from time-to-time.

I LOVE travel, getting out in the bush and putting my feet on the earth. I am also a bit obsessed with flowers, and particular historical periods – especially Scottish and Irish history. Now I am in my mid 40s, I am finding myself drawn to different fitness focuses like lifting weights which is really fun.

I live in the lovely little town of Uralla in NSW, Australia with my partner and our huge furry dog named Ziggy (who, if asked, wouldn’t regard himself as a dog). All our kids have flown the nest now, so I am at that wonderful time in life where I have some freedom (and privilege) to play work-wise, and explore a range of random interests.
