I figured out early on that humans need help to work in alignment with the intelligence of the natural world. And if we did, we could function more fully and thrive in the world.

My coaching practice has been a long-time coming. I knew it was on my path to channel my intuitive, astute, deep-listening heart towards individuals who value such rich relational spaces.

I’m here to help people honour, celebrate and serve our precious world. We all have our place. And we all have purpose.

Holding ourselves - us, humans - in the responsibility of this is what helps us have rightful place in a living, intelligent world.

Since being a girl growing up Brisbane’s suburbs in the 80’s and 90’s, I have always been fascinated by nature spaces. I remember bushwalking in Cooloola National Park near K’gari /Fraser Island at 7 years old with my family, gazing up at the crowning canopy of the hoop pines. That’s where I first met nature as my spiritual practice.

I went on to study Environmental Engineering at Griffith University straight out of high-school. This was followed by a decade of travelling the world, figuring out the conventional path wasn’t for me, and finding my way closer to my heart’s calling.

Permaculture and sociocracy stepped in as strong teachers in my late-20’s. I went on to specialise in ‘social permaculture’ - the application of regenerative living design principles to people systems. This is where so much makes sense for me.

Woven into and underpinning my approach is a living systems framework with basis in permaculture principles, having attained a Permaculture Design Course with Treeyo Permaculture in Portugal in 2010.

I am a trained facilitator with a participatory, engaging and inclusive approach. I trained with permaculture elder, Robin Clayfield, in Dynamic Groups facilitation techniques in 2012, and have since collaborated with her in presenting various social permaculture and facilitation workshops.

I am trained in mediation through a non-violent communication (NVC) lens, learning from NVC trainer, Kate Raffin, in 2018.

I am a consultant and trainer in sociocracy - a method for distributing and decentralising power and leadership in organisations so all voices are heard, and creating responsive and effective groups. I love helping impact-led organisations collaborate well together.

I’m part of a international cohort of consultants called The Sociocracy Consulting Group, a 5-person collective based in North America and Australia. I trained in the foundations of sociocracy in 2012, with Gina Price (Perth, WA) and John Schinnerer (Oregon, USA), both of whom I’ve continued learning with and now work alongside as colleagues.

Throughout the 2010’s, I did a great deal of work with localised food systems. I’m part of a textured creative community of artists and makers with inspiring and proactive life skills and know-how. Plant medicines are an important part of how I live in full health and balance. I love to dance freely. I love a good mountain hike adventure. I love couchsurfing strangers couches in far-away lands.

I’m married to Marcel, an avid indie music and skateboard enthusiast, with a precious ability to connect respectfully and deeply with animals, wild and tame. Marcel originates in Germany, a country now dear to my heart. As a result, ich spreche eine wenig Deutsch. We have a darling son, Hazel, born in 2023, who triangulates our family pod with delight and charm.

I’ve lived on Kabi Kabi Country / Sunshine Coast since 2015. I adore the forest I live and work in every day. I hold deep respect for the First Nations holders of life and lore around the world, and acknowledge the displacement and decimation of sophisticated peoples and culture on the lands where I live. My offerings attempt to bring balance and richness to the human tapestry within the greater planetary weave.

Many blessings to your day.
I look forward to meeting you!
