About me
"This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you"...
I feel so grateful for my journey and for where I am today. Right now I hold a rich toolbox of both time tested practices and modern evidence based skills. I feel like I really am in the best place to be of service. I am inspired every day by my beautiful family, the wonderful nature around me and my clients.
But I have also had struggles at times, where I feel like I have been bombarded by life, leaving me broken, bruised and lost. Through these times, my passion and purpose has taken me home to my true self and I have found a way through major challenges such as post-natal depression and anxiety after my second daughter; persistent pain and some serious heart health problems; mothering my diverse daughters and up-levelling my career path many times including starting a masters degree in the year I turned 40...what was I thinking!!!! I continue to trust and follow my truth....and because of that I've found a unique path in life and I am so grateful for the growth!
"Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive!" - Hafiz
Growing up as a deeply sensitive being in a sensory world, I have found the wisdom and gifts of yoga, dance and somatic practices a sure way to stay sane, ground my awareness and live life with more effectiveness, balance and joy. Trained as a yoga therapist and teacher since 2000, I love facilitating individuals to connect with and honour their body and soul. I now bring these tools into my practice as an OT working with kids and adults with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain and neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and brain injury.
My Favorite Things
Nature
Especially the beach, ocean, rainforests and waterfalls. Luckily I get to immerse myself in these wild and powerful places regularly living and working on the Sunshine Coast
Music
I am so grateful for music! Listening to it, dancing to it, playing it with others, jamming, singing with women, music is medicine for my soul
Self Care
My nature is to always be reaching for balance, and for that I fiercely protect my self care. I LOVE daily exercise, yoga, dance, hot baths, spa baths, massages, surfing meditationā€¦
My superpower...
My superpower is helping people feel calm…to feel heard and to feel hope. To be reconnected with their truth, their body wisdom, their gifts. This truth guides change where action is ripe and ready and to accept what has changed forever. And to remember that which is non-changing within themselves. To rely on that resilience which calls them forth towards loving life…
