On a more personal note...
Thank you for visiting my website. Presumably you are here because you want to understand me on a deeper level, so thank you for the opportunity to allow me to share who I am with you.
My Early Years
I grew up in on a small dairy farm in country Victoria. There are a lot of beautiful life experiences that I treasure from my childhood; my connection with nature and the beauty of the land, my appreciation of stillness and quiet, my sense of community and family. Then there are other experiences which at the time weren’t so pleasant, but have shaped the strong resilient person that I am today. In 1983 our farm along with our community was devastated by bushfire. From this event I learnt that you can choose to focus on the devastation and crumble, or you can look for the miracles and amazing camaraderie that is birthed in such adversity, and just do what has to be done to get through. Huge lessons for a 12 year old!
Moving into adulthood, I shifted to Melbourne to study a Degree in Applied Chemisty, then after University I returned home and got married. There were very little job prospects for an Industrial Chemist in country Victoria but after some months I miraculously landed a job as an Environmental Analyst at Portland Aluminium and my Husband and I moved to Warrnambool so I would only have to travel an hour each way to get to work.
I hated the isolated and repetitive work of being in a lab. I am essentially a people person, a communicator, and I like to discover new things and solve problems (which is why I loved studying chemistry in the first place), so after the first few thousand samples it was hard for me to get excited about work. Enter the Universe! Somehow I fell into a position with the IT programmer to design and implement a new management system for the Lab. Much more fun!
I left this job when we started a family then literally ‘fell’ into another position documenting and designing systems for an Accounting and ERM Software developer. I moved from documenting into support, then sales, then training and implementation, and systems analysis to find custom solutions for large retailers, manufacturers and engineering firms.
Somewhere in the mix of all this I took time out to grow my family (I have 3 kids, all grown now) and buy a small retail health food business which grew to be the largest of its kind in country Victoria.
Something’s Gotta Give
I loved my business, but it is full on when you have small a family and eventually my long held work ethic which I forged when I was 12, which was to stay positive and keep working harder to overcome adversity, came into question. You see I related adversity to an external event like a bushfire – it was something that happened to you and if I could just get through it and make the most of it, everything would be okay on the other side. It never occurred to me that there was adversity that I was creating in my own life that was keeping me locked in an endless cycle of challenges. From the outside my life looked great - a smart dynamic successful woman, with a loving husband, three beautiful kids, a thriving business – the truth is however that behind the scenes my life was crumbling. I was chronically stressed and fatigued, often sick or in pain, I was unhappy, I wasn’t being the wife or mother I wanted to be, and despite lots of good things happening in my life, I felt like a failure.
So something had to give, and eventually I felt forced to choose my health and relationships over my career, so we sold the shop (the one thing that was working in my life) and moved to Queensland.
Despite much personal growth and the many healing skills I had learnt along the way, it was a long road back from burnout. Eventually I wanted to return to work, but after becoming so burnt out with the constant drive to keep improving business and achieve more, the thought of going back to small business churned my gut. In time I was fortunate enough to be sought out by a building company to overhaul their systems and processes, before taking on the role as National Sales Manager with my old software development company, and my life simply continued.
Back in the Flow
Much healing, transformation, understanding and wisdom had transpired over the 20 years leading up until this point and I came to realise I was moving through life but not really living. I knew that there must be more, and I desperately wanted to rediscover how to be passionate about life again.
It took a lot of courage to finally ask myself "what does my heart want to do?", and for the longest time I come up with blanks. Over and over I asked myself "What is it that I am good at besides solving problems in business?" I had always loved helping people. For as long as I remember I have always been the go-to-person for advice (business, relationships, health, you name it). I guess I never really thought much about it; it is just what I do. I was also passionate about natural health and healing having overcome some major health challenges of my own, but neither of those things really led to an answer.
It was during a personal development weekend I finally got an insight to a block (one of those aha moments) and everything shifted for me. My life turned on a dime; a chance meeting with a kinesiologist the next night reconnected me to this amazing modality and prompted in me a random question. “Why don’t I become a practitioner myself?” A whirlwind of synchronicities ensued and within two weeks I was studying to be a practitioner and I had never felt more aligned or on track.
I was back in the flow and insatiable once again for learning. I devoured books and attended training courses on mindset, behavioural transformation, NLP, hypnosis, emotional intelligence, intuition, law of attraction, spirituality and mind body connection. I loved it!
My Two Worlds Merge
A few years later I evolved from kinesiology practitioner to life coach. It seemed by chance that I started attracting a lot of business people. Given my background it happened naturally that I was able to offer quite specific coaching around the situations and dynamics they were struggling with in their businesses. It was amazing to see the shifts when someone is awakened to why something wasn’t working as they wanted it, and could see how their beliefs and attitudes were influencing their success. Oh how I wished I had had someone to coach me through my blocks like this when I was in business!
Back then if I came up against a challenge in my retail business my business friends would tell me “just take action, push through”. I mean if you weren’t pumped and running on adrenaline then your business wasn’t pumping, so I would do that until I couldn’t do it anymore. This was the old business paradigm that success (by your own definition) comes from massive action. I once spent $6k on a coach who consistently reminded me to take action, and would ‘hold me accountable’ when I didn’t, but who had no ability to help me recognise or shift the blocks and limiting beliefs that were keeping me stuck. Rather than feeling supported, I just ended up feeling even more inadequate.
Every time I would push myself to exhaustion I would then turn to my spiritual friends for healing, who would say “just let go, meditate and allow your inspiration”. So I would and I would feel so much better, then I would get straight back to work as usual.
For a long time I struggled with this, not really understanding why sometimes things in my business would flow effortlessly and other times it was like pushing up stream. I instinctively knew when I hit an upstream challenge that I needed to look deeper for the answer but my spiritual understanding of life and my experience in business were like two separate worlds, and I would jump from one camp to the other not really sure how to bring them together (or even that they could exist together).
What I learnt over time is that real success, the sort that is fulfilling, comes when there is a balanced flow between action and inspiration (connection to self) and I recognised the opportunity to bring about a new business paradigm for myself and others. And so it came to be that my passion for life coaching merged with my passion for business to deliver a holistic approach to evolving and growing through your business experiences.
Imagination without Action is just a dream
Action without imagination is effort
For me this new paradigm is the acknowledgement that both our conscious and unconscious intentions about an action will have an impact on the success of the action, it is also the acknowledgement that nothing we do is in isolation. How we do our relationships, health and business all affect each other, and us as a whole. For many this is challenging as it requires the undoing of an old way of thinking to find a new approach. It is the phenomenon of slowing down and connecting with who you truly are in all areas of your life and business, that allows you to access your own innate guidance system and supports you in your actions to go faster. It is about shifting what is unconscious into your conscious awareness, whether that be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, so that you can transform, and this has formed the basis how I do life, and how I coach and mentor my clients today.
