Choosing a life coach is a leap of trust. You’re looking for someone safe enough to open up to, and experienced enough to actually help. So when people ask what it’s like to work with an experienced life coach, I think the most honest answer doesn’t come from me. It comes from the people I’ve […]
Men and feelings. For a lot of men, those two words were never meant to go together. So many men were taught they have to be strong, and that crying is weakness. Don’t feel it. Don’t show it. Toughen up. And so they learn to push it all down and carry on, often for decades. […]
The Upper Ferntree Gully women’s football team made history this season, winning the club’s first ever women’s premiership. As a mindset coach, Melbourne based, I had the privilege of speaking with them before finals, and what I saw in that room has stayed with me. Let me be clear, the players won that grand final, […]

I tell my clients all the time that healing happens in the raw and unfiltered moments, the ones where we stop performing and start telling the truth. I watch it happen in my sessions every single day. Someone finally says out loud the sentence that has been wanting to be expressed, and something in them […]
Men, this one is for you. As a life coach for men, the most common thing I see is this. Most of us grew up in a world where emotions weren’t really accepted. We were never taught how to feel them, let alone how to process them, so we learned to push them down and […]
Sometimes you have to flip your perspective. Two years ago I knew I needed something different, something that would bring my mind body spirit back into the same place. I had always moved through running and cycling, but I was craving something that would slow me down and get me inside my body, rather than […]
