I am a passionate 500-hour RYT yoga teacher, personal trainer and ACA registered counsellor with a unique background spanning mental health, high-pressure industries, and community-based care. My journey has been shaped by diverse professional experiences and deeply personal life events, all of which inform my compassionate and inclusive approach to supporting people from all walks of life.

My career began at 20 in the dynamic worlds of events, advertising, and music, where I worked nationally and internationally on large-scale projects such as the AC/DC Black Ice Tour (2009), the Australian Open, the Australian Grand Prix, the World Surf League, Melbourne Cup Carnival, and Melbourne Fashion Festival. Along the way, I collaborated with global brands including Rolex, Adidas, Jeep, and Revlon as co-founder and co-director of Australian based events agency, Social Lion.

At 27, my life shifted when I became a carer for my father, who was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare disease similar to Motor Neuron Disease. Balancing my role as a carer with running a national event management company led me to reassess my career, ultimately guiding me toward the mental health and wellbeing sectors.

In 2017, after completing yoga teacher training and fitness qualifications, I set out to integrate mindfulness and movement into high-stress environments. I taught yoga and boxing to at-risk youth in Melbourne’s juvenile detention centres, then expanded my work abroad in Turkey, combining yoga, meditation, and movement practices with ESL education. Returning to Australia, I retrained as a counsellor and joined Horses for Hope—an equine-assisted therapy program in Shepparton—where I combined clinical work as a counsellor and managed program development and community partnerships. During this time, I supported flood-affected communities through one of Victoria’s most devastating natural disasters, while also caring for my mother throughout her three-year breast cancer journey.
