My Story

I think I have always been a planner, extremely determined and perhaps just a little bit stubborn.  

 

I grew up in a small country town, as soon as I turned 17, I left school, ran away and joined the Royal Australian Airforce. I couldn’t wait to get out and explore the world.

In my late 20’s and 30’s I worked across many different industries in corporate organisations. During this time, I worked long hours, got married, completed a master’s degree, whilst having 2 beautiful girls, was a finalist in the Telstra Women’s Business Awards and climbed my way to executive positions. 

  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In my mid 40’s, after more than 25 years working in the corporate world, I launched my own coaching and consulting business.

Today at 53, I am an internationally accredited Executive Coach who now specialises in working with people who have had successful careers but for various reasons ‘fall out of love’ with the work they do and are looking for a new direction.

I am also a comprehensive Pilates teacher who believes knowledge and movement is one of the most empowering things we can do for ourselves as we age and see Pilates as a lifestyle.  I have a particular interest in how Pilates can prevent and ease menopausal symptoms such as unexplained joint pain, muscle loss, cognitive fatigue, low self-esteem, neurological, pelvic and bone health issues.  I teach privately from my home Pilates studio and small group mat classes.

Working across both disciplines of Coaching and Pilates means I have an integrated approach which truly considers the whole person, both mentally and physically, everything is connected.  There is a saying, ‘What the mind can’t deal with the body will’, meaning the stress and overwhelm we feel in our head may also be held elsewhere in our body. There hasn’t been a single person I have coached over the years who didn’t also have a stiff or painful  back, neck, knee or shoulder.

​

I believe, in a world of constant change, complexity and chaos, finding and doing more of what you truly love with a commitment to holistic personal development—mind, body, and soul—is the key to enduring growth, success, satisfaction and longevity.
