On a personal note I am a mother of a wonderful 18 year old son and recently re-married a precious man and have faced the same struggles many of us face in juggling a successful career with that of a family and creating meaning, fun and authenticity in my life.

I love to dance, sing, meditate, be in the ocean, travel, be in nature and spend time with friends and family.

A woman in my late 40s I have spent much of my life ‘searching’. When I look back now I am not even sure what I thought I was searching for – at different times money, control, validation, success, excitement, freedom, power, safety, family, love. But most of the time what I was really doing was running away from myself – from my feelings, my fears, my hurts, my reality, my sense of unworthiness. And often denying my true self, including my own values, dreams, purpose, femininity, strengths and talents.

Eventually I hit an emotional, mental and spiritual rock bottom and I stopped. I stopped running and searching.

As I began to take off my masks and defences, unravel the past and tap into an inner wisdom, I began the real journey – to meet my authentic self (as well as my not so authentic self!) and learn, very gradually, to show up in this world as this authentic self. Perfectly imperfect. It is a daily practice.

I have slowly moved from a life of barely surviving to one of often feeling like I am really leading and thriving, in all areas of my life.

It has and continues to be an extraordinary journey, an incredibly challenging & fulfilling journey. A journey built on the foundation of ongoing compassionate self awareness.

As part of this I have learned to live and express myself authentically – in my talks and in my writing. My intention is for my heart to connect with yours and within this to share myself honestly and respectfully with you. My journey, my reflections, my experiences, my study, my training, my questions, my innate feminine intelligence, my truth as I know it at the time. Because I can. Nothing more. Nothing less.
