Personally

An adopted child of the closed 1975 era, I was born in Shropshire, England where I lived for over 40 years before answering my calling to be in New Zealand.

As a survivor of early years attachment trauma, I experienced emotional stress, nervous-system health issues and self-negating reactions. When I learned my experiences did not define me, I reconnected to myself which gave my life meaning.

I take a heart-centered, trauma-aware approach and whilst I have strong intuition and empathy, I remain grounded. I value respect, integrity, service, mutual support and excellence. As a certified coach with various qualifications, I work independently from my private practice which is essential to fulfilling my purpose. My sessions adhere to my professional certifications and ethical standards.

Formerly a volunteer Youth Mentor with the Graeme Dingle Foundation and a member of Toastmasters International, I’ve long held the drive to provide support that makes a difference to someone’s life choices. My focus lies in helping people develop confidence that influences the way they respond in life, specifically within the areas of intuition, personal boundaries, reconnection, identity, self worth, expression, creativity and emotional stability.

Learning the art of speaking, listening and thinking are all vital skills in promoting self actualisation and understanding. I’m an avid book-reader, life-long learner and commit to ongoing personal and professional development that supports my own evolution.
