Life is my Greatest Teacher

I have been blessed with incredible people who have shown me the meaning of friendship, honesty, resilience, and real human connection.

I am a real person who enjoys sharing the tools, perspectives, and understanding I have gathered along the way.

I promise to keep it real with you, just as I try to do with myself.

Real connection matters.

I was adopted at birth, grew up in Alberta, Canada, and for the past twenty five years I have called the East Coast of Australia home.

Life has thrown plenty of curve balls. I have learned to dance with them, sometimes gracefully and sometimes very awkwardly.

Since childhood I have been fascinated by this wild ride called the human experience. At age nine I was peer voted as a Peer Counsellor, my first glimpse into what would become a lifelong curiosity about people, awareness, and personal growth.

My whole life has been spent curiously flipping over every rock of science, logic, theology, spirituality, history, and mystery to understand us better.

I have observed, experimented, reflected, and found practical ways to navigate challenges, both my own and those of others.

What continues to matter most to me is this simple truth:

we always have the power to become more aware of how we are living, relating, reacting, and moving through the world.

That spark is everything.

Honesty, truth, humour, and a touch of playful irreverence are important to me.

Life is too short for much else.

My Experience and Training

From running an international backpacker hostel in Byron Bay for twenty years to studying communication, behaviour, hypnosis, profiling, and nervous-system dynamics, I have collected a broad and eclectic range of experience.

I am a Certified Hypnotist in Regression Technology, NLP and Hypnosis. I also hold certifications in Effective Communication, Hypnotic Persuasion, Body Language Analysis, Chinese Face Reading, NCI-1, Mace Energy Method Practitioner (no longer affiliated) and Reiki Mastery.

I am currently completing NCI 2 certification through Neuro Cognitive Intelligence University, with deep training in Behavioral Profiling, Advanced Body Language, Interview and Interrogation, and micro expression analysis.

As well as a certification in Creativity and Art Therapy to expand how we express ourselves and how it helps in being wholly engaged with ourselves.

 In 2022, one life changing year in Dr David Snyder’s Mastery Program expanded my knowledge and skills in NLP, hypnosis, identity level change, Chinese Medicine, and various metaphysical healing modalities linked with Chase Hughes’s ABR programs, including Spycraft. 

I continue to explore Qi Gong, Emotion Code, Biofield Tuning, and healing frequencies because my curiosity about how humans heal, adapt, and reconnect remains ongoing.

These are tools, not magic wands.

They help me offer perspective, reflection, and guidance while you remain fully in the driver’s seat of your own life.

My Philosophy

No BS. Honest. Curious. Grounded. I also think I am pretty funny.

I am not here to give you more rules or rigid answers.

I am more interested in helping people reconnect with what already feels natural, honest, and real to them.

Life becomes clearer when we stop trying so hard to become someone else and start paying closer attention to what is already happening within us.

 I have realized that the more I embrace the nature of my own design, the more the extraordinary begins to feel natural. 

Life is messy, playful, challenging, deeply personal, and sometimes wildly absurd.

That is part of the beauty of it.

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds."

Bob Marley — Redemption Song

I have watched people uncover levels of awareness, presence, insight, honesty, and freedom they did not realize were possible. That is why I continue doing this work.

Not because I have all the answers.

Because I remain honestly, deeply curious about people, life, connection, and what helps human beings move forward with more awareness and less fear.
