I am a dedicated mother, partner, and yoga practitioner who has lived on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, for over 30 years after growing up in Sydney. My career began in hospitality, where I enjoyed working in fine dining and taking on various roles both in the kitchen and front of house before transitioning into counselling, my true passion.

I hold both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Counselling from the University of the Sunshine Coast, which I completed consecutively in the early 2000s. Alongside my work in counselling, I have a deep commitment to yoga, having completed numerous teacher trainings, and have been teaching for over a decade. Yoga is a daily practice for me, and I also find joy in music, nature, and sharing healthy, delicious food with great company.

I am passionate about social justice and have a deep love for animals, especially our little dog. I’m the kind of person who always stops to share a moment with a dog.

I’m fortunate to have an incredible circle of friends—like-minded individuals who help me live life to the fullest and hold me accountable when needed. Family is central to my life, and I treasure the time I spend with my adult children, their partners, and my own partner. Their wisdom, kindness, and intelligence have been some of my greatest teachers.
