I heal me, for you! You heal you, for me!
My deepest heart's desire is to match my heart beat with the beat of the universe; to match my nature with mother nature.

I am a spark of source energy with the deep desire to impact you in a way that ignites and re-connects you with your inner spark for life.
When this impact is made, it gives me a sense of fulfilment of my soul and life purpose.
I share myself with you below so you can feel into who I am and ensure that there is a resonance for travelling with you on your healing and self-discovery journey. Knowing more about me can offer you clarity for your choice.
Sharing your intimate life details with someone you know little about can be quite confronting. Often we don't know who our therapists, counsellors, healing practitioners are and this doesn't sit right with me.
When you don't know much about who is helping you, something feels like it's missing - blind trust is imposed upon you as the client. You create an imaginary version of the practitioner with your own assumptions and sometimes false perceptions. You anxiously hope you get someone that gives you what you are seeking - without it actually being said or discussed.
Trusting your choice of the right practitioner can be affirmed when you get a sense of who they are beyond what they can offer you professionally. In a world where genuine safe human connection is rare and uninjured - this is very important for your healing journey.
Trust your inner knowing and listen to the whisper of your Soul.

For a deeper dive into my own journey I share a series of (digital) journal entries, personal contemplations and insights that you may like to peruse and feel into.
Relating to your fellow soul traveller brings a sense of resonance, a common thread, a sigh of relief that even those who have trained in their profession also have their ups and downs.
I’ve quietly always had a vision of who I thought I wanted to be when ‘I grow up’ and what I wanted to bring to others/the world, yet for several decades it was buried deep, deep down.
I believed for far too long that it was merely a childlike fantasy that would never be realised – to become who I really am and do what I want to do.
That changed.

For most of my adult working life I've spent it working in the corporate sector. My first job was in my home town of Mackay straight out of completing high school grade 12. After four years of that, I moved to Brisbane.
For the next two decades or so, I worked in various areas and industries, commencing in state government human resources then moving to the banking sector, a range of private businesses and a few others in the roles of administration and IT project coordination.
I never truly found this work fulfilling, always thinking something was wrong with me because I had no real corporate career aspirations or desire to identify myself in that world like I saw others doing.
I felt I never really ''fit in''. I didn't care to ''climb the ladder'' or seek the life of ''a powerful corporate female''. I tried, but something was always missing and inauthentic.
In my late 20’s I had a calling to pursue learning Traditional Old Style Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage and practiced this as a home-based business for several years whilst working full time and then part time. This nurturing call within me has never left and now it has morphed into deepening my knowledge and skills with Holistic Counselling, Human Design, sound healing, natural wellness and more.
Whilst working full time, I completed my formal studies of a Certificate of Holistic Counselling in 2022. As of March 2023, I quietly decided to end my time in the corporate game and align my personal interests to pursue completing the Diploma of Holistic Counselling.
In 2024 I came across Human Design and decided to pursue training in this modality to add it to my knowledge base and experience as I saw it as a compliment to Holistic Counselling and my pursuit to fulfil my own purpose.
I continue to learn and curate my knowledge, skills and interests. And interestingly my Human Design profile is a 1/3 - 1 being someone who loves to learn and investigate with the 3 - being someone who learns by trial and error.
We are who we are even when we think we aren't.
Writing a 3000+ word autobiography was part of my holistic counselling course curriculum and I share with you a brief outline below for you to see how my life has been shaped and where I come from.
What would be in your autobiography?
Read more here...
I am the eldest of two daughters with a younger sister to the same parents, born on the middle day of the year in the late 1970’s and raised in the eastern coastal town of Mackay, Queensland, Australia.
My mother is the seventh born child of 11 and the youngest of twins. There are nine daughters and two sons to the same parents. My maternal grandmother was one of two children, originally from Cairns moving to Mackay in her early adult years aspiring to be a nurse. My grandfather was one of seven children from Mackay with cane farming background.
My father is the youngest of three boys and I’ve been told was conceived on the boat journey from Germany to Australia. His family - mother, father, two older brothers, mother’s siblings and mothers' parents – all immigrated from Germany by boat to Australia in the 1950’s to establish a new life abroad and explore opportunities.
Each family has now grown, with me being the fourth grandchild of 27 on my mother’s side, with the number of great grandchildren superseding to near 30 to date. I am the third grandchild of four on my father’s side.
I am lucky to be married near 10 years to my loving husband with our marriage being secure functioning. I don't have any children and my husband has four that are grown up.
I have two adult nephews and one teenage niece which I adore and lovingly spent as much time as I could having fun with these souls in their childhoods.
I live outside the city of Brisbane, Australia with my {immortal} feline, Tilly. I have been Tilly’s primary servant for over 18 years now, she never seems to age a day and you could say is one of my longest relationships outside immediate family.
A few other moments that shaped my life...
My parents took my sister and I on a travelling road trip from Mackay all the way across the country to Perth in my first year of school. Mum and dad were looking for seasonal work in a new location.
When we arrived back home to Mackay, I attended a small country school (near 70 students) outside of town by local sugar mill until primary school completed at Year 7. We lived in a cute crooked timber workers cottage that had frogs in the toilet and enjoyed our summers with wet cyclone seasons and the 'black snow', as we called it - when they used to burn the cane fields before harvesting and the ash would rain down on everything. The fires were so close we could feel the heat at our back door.
My parents separated and divorced at the end of my primary school days which contributed to our (Mum, me and sister) move into town at the beginning of my high school days. This high school was huge (hundreds of students) compared to primary school and took quite a bit of an adjustment for me.
I was a dancer - trained in ballet and jazz for several years with a local dancing school family that my mother worked for. My sister trained in ballet and tap. I think this is where my love of sparkly things stems from. I have also tried my hand at playing the violin in high school string orchestra. My Opa tried to get my sister and I to learn German and the piano accordion when we were very young (German heritage) but this unfortunately didn't stick.
My first job started one week after I finished Grade 12. My best friends father was a financial advisor and invited me to work with him and his secretary. I worked with them for the next four years and learned many insights of the working world and sadly my best friend, his daughter, moved away to go to university.
At age 22 I made a decision to leave home, my home town and country on my own and travel to America to meet someone I met online - yes all the way back in 1999. I stayed in the country for six months as that was as long as the visa allowed. It wasn't your typical adventurous holiday or travels - my being a shy 20 something introvert, I lived with my friend and his family in a small country town in the mid west - corn country. I had a wonderful time, got to see, touch, feel snow and learned a lot about myself through the experience. I cried all the way home on the plane when I departed - that's 20+hours.
I've experienced my own dark night of the soul which seemed to go on forever (near a decade) but alas it came to an end before I turned 30. I didn't have any professional help during this time - it was possible luck, a particular deep pivotal moment and conscious effort that got myself out of it. In hindsight and through the lens of my Holistic Counselling training, this time in my life had all the hallmarks of someone who had deep childhood attachment wounds and needs that didn't get met. I'm still working on identifying and meeting these needs day by day.
I was in America when my first nephew was born and couldn't wait to see him when I got back home. I was present for the birth of my second nephew and niece. These are treasured moments in my life - that my sister generously shared such a personal experience with her family. Life really is a miracle.
I've experienced my share of heartbreak and melancholy with a handful of relationships before I met my husband; 2 decades of quietly grieving not having children; never finding my niche or place in the corporate world and I'm sure there is more I could add.
We all have interesting life stories don't we. What we see on the surface is not who we are underneath.

"Who am I, you ask?
I am made from all the people I've encountered
and all the things I have experienced.
Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends, the arguments with my parents, the chattering of young children,
and the warmth from kind strangers.
Inside there are stitching's from cracked hearts, bitter words from heated arguments, music that gets me through,
and emotions I cannot convey.
I am made from all these people and moments.
That is who I am.
- Ming D Liu.
We are each on our own paths, finding our way on our own
and at times with others.
