Dream big

Dream Big… I love hearing my son talk about his big dreams for his future. His imagination knows no limits, and his excitement is contagious. There’s something magical about the way kids dream—they believe anything is possible.   Children have an incredible ability to visualize their aspirations without fear holding them back. They don’t worry […]

Is Life Coaching for me?

Have you ever wondered if a life coach would be helpful for you? You might be asking yourself, “What do certified professional life coaches even do?” All my clients are sure of one thing when they reach out: they want change, they want to take action, but just don’t know how to go about it. Otherwise, […]

Deshaming…what is it?

Have you ever felt like there is something WRONG with you?  You are not alone.

As a Life Coach, I work closely with clients who are constantly juggling a lot of responsibilities and challenges. I hear the weight in their voices, the stress they carry, and the raw reality of their experiences. I see […]

Knowing when it’s time to rest

Rest….. what is it? It’s a word that has been foreign to me, unless I broke a bone or caught a cold. Even then it was hard for me to stop.  In 2002, in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games, I was hit by a car whilst out training on my bike. I was […]

Story from my life

Story from my life… This photo was taken in 2013, weeks after returning home to Australia after what was the toughest time in my life. I look happy. Masks are wonderful things when we need to survive. I had just returned from Germany, my then home, where I had been living and working for 12 […]
