I am a very creative and active person who loves a challenge! I spend my free time pursuing lots of different hobbies to support my well-being.

I enjoy making sculptures and art pieces out of found materials. I also enjoy playing guitar and singing. Dancing is one of my loves.

On sunny days I love to go paddle boarding on the Murray River. Being in nature especially near water is very healing for me.

Despite being unwell with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, two years ago I began learning Aerial hoop and silks at the age of 42.

Last year I competed in my first Aerial hoop competition!

I slowly built my strength by working out at the gym and I also love going for long walks in nature. Last year I started Self-Defence Martial Arts.

For relaxation I enjoy meditation, bubble baths and listening to music.

I became a well-being practitioner because of my own lived experience of severe mental distress, which began as a child and became more intense as I grappled with the impacts of bullying, domestic violence and abuse.

I had challenging experiences with medication and struggled to find the right support in the medical system. I was experiencing the impacts of trauma for many years and it was showing up in my life in self destructive ways. I lacked confidence, was disconnected from my body, was self-medicating and I experienced intense mood swings.

I was able to mask for a lot of my life but my internal word was often in considerable turmoil. It was when I lost two people close to me that I made the choice to dive into a deep well-being path.

I came across Hypnotherapy and that is when my deeper healing began and I decided to train to become a therapist. It was because of the difference it made to me that I felt compelled to support other people to connect with their wholeness and sense of well-being, from an integrated holistic perspective.

I am a Holistic practitioner who is trained in many different clinically proven well-being modalities including: Creative Therapies, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Holistic Psychotherapy Modalities, Solution Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Parts Therapy.

I chose to study so many different modalities because I understand that people are dynamic and we all have a different path to well-being.

I am now studying personal training to deepen and strengthen my capacity to work with whole body well-being.
