I am a Qualified Counsellor and Massage Therapist. I have spent my life helping others to explore and follow their dreams, passions and curiosity.

My life has been a journey with many amazing moments and some very real challenges. Through experiencing these highs and lows, I understand how difficult it can be when life feels physically and mentally tough.

As a child I grew up by the beach and I still seek sanctuary there when I need to clear my mind, or take a deep breath before tackling a challenging day. I find peace in walking on the sand and swimming in the ocean during summer. The sound of thunderous waves on a moody winter’s day is something to enjoy. Sunset over the ocean is a time to reflect on the day and to remember that it will rise again tomorrow. With each sunrise comes a new day, and new choices and opportunities.

I believe that life is too short, and we need to make the best of each day. This was a lesson I learnt in my 20’s when I lost my Mum to cancer. She was in her 40’s, and I knew that she was way too young to leave us. As a result, through my most challenging times, I have reminded myself that life is short and to find a path that brings the most meaning to me.

Through my adult years I have worked and volunteered in roles caring for children and young people. I adore that fresh eyed innocence they exude. I then moved into a role educating others in this field and realised how much I enjoy empowering people to achieve their goals.

At 40 years old I became a parent and this has been the ultimate rollercoaster ride! I’ve experienced the challenges of infertility, medical intervention and then raising a neurodivergent child. It became clear that neurodiversity often has a genetic link, which lead me on my own journey to diagnosis. I understand the highs and lows of parenting, how important raising a child in a village is, and how lonely it can feel when you believe you are walking the path alone.

I’m a lifelong learner. Since 2019 this has led me on a journey to look at how I can use my life experiences to support others. I am passionate about feeling a sense of wellness within, because when we feel well, we make the best decisions about our lives.
