My Approach

Now more than ever, we recognize the inseparable connection between the body and brain, viewing them as equal partners collaborating seamlessly. Throughout my career, I've extensively studied and gained international accreditation in Executive Coaching and the Pilates Method, integrating these disciplines in my services.

 

My approach involves treating the mind and body as a unified partnership, addressing the interconnectedness of mental and physical well-being. I've observed  high levels of anxiety and stress impede cognitive abilities, leading to redirected negative energy manifesting as chronic pain in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, and knees.

 

As a Professional Development Coach and Comprehensive Pilates Instructor with a somatic approach, I emphasize the holistic consideration of the whole person, both mentally and physically. By embracing an integrated physical and mental outlook, you can unlock the full spectrum of growth and development potential.

My Story

I think I have always been a planner, extremely determined and perhaps just a little bit stubborn.  Growing up in a small country town in the north of South Australia, where money was tight and opportunities were few, I remember from the early age of 12 planning my escape.

 

I joined the Royal Australian Airforce at 17 and then progressed to complete more than 25 years working in Corporate environments across a myriad of industries in senior leadership positions. 

​

The military provided me with early leadership experience and opportunities, skills that seamlessly translated into my corporate career. Success, awards and career advancement followed in my early 30s. Reflecting on my career, the ability to reinvent myself has been critical to my success, mastering the art of personal reinvention, uniquely aligned with our strengths and interests sparks engagement, fulfilment and longevity. 

​

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