About Us

My focus is on you.

I believe in the power of one & the synergy of connection.

I believe that each person has a unique gift to offer the world.

And I believe when we know our own gift & connect to our own power,

we can live a fulfilling, fun-filled life.

This is how we can all contribute to the change we want to see in the world.

One way or another, this transformation is an inside job.

We start from the inside and move out into the world with clarity, confidence & trust.

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,

and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium.

It will be lost.

The world will never have it.

Finding ways to offer Transformative Living to you, your family, community or business is my dream and passion.I am passionate about living a full life, finding purpose and meaning in all situations having fun and feeling fulfilled. That is why I believe in choice-full-conscious living. I beleive in everyone's innate power to connect with what is deeply right and true for them...and when we do we no longer feel tired, bored or indecisive. Living a choice-full-conscious life evokes great energy and enthusiasm, builds self-confidence and self-trust and self-esteem. When make choices and live from this space our natural inclination is to want the same for others evoking freedom, tolerance, collaboration and compassion.

My background is as a teacher/trainer in adult education. I have worked with adults in vocational, educational, corporate and community settings for over 15 years. I have consulted in large multinational corporations facilitating training & assessment & writing workplace documents. I have spent 10 days in the wilderness with youth at risk aged between 15-19 years on more than one occasion. I have supported women returning to education, migrants settling into Australia and coached individuals and teams in Compassionate Communication. I have also worked as a cook for a tree planting team, a receptionist, an adminstration officer, a waitress, a barmaid, a market researcher and a personal coach.

So, as you can see, I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, groups and companies. Most of all, I am passionate about journeying with you to create a life in harmony with your values at the personal level, in relationships, in your community and business or work; integrating creativity, integrity, harmony and insight. I am passionate about effective social change, equity and integrity in all the ways we live. I try to follow the principles of right speech, right livelihood & right actions stemming from self-awareness and care for myself and others.

In my own life I have offered these insights and modelled these practices in the SBS documentary "Divorce Stories" and in a NSW Department of Education DVD on Supporting Teachers who work with Young People.

I have found the Transformative Living practices I am offering to be the most direct and effective ways to understanding "what's really going on" and for each party to meet their needs/values in any given situation, as well as giving the opportunity to celebrate successes.

Transformative Living is essentially based upon 3 key practices
