Professional Bio

I am a former Registered Nurse with extensive experience in a wide range of health settings from critical care to drug and alcohol across 33 years. My last 20 years I counselled children, adolescents and their families, working with them to improve their life though positive changes in thoughts, behavior, sense of self and self regulation. I have been mentioned in NSW State Parliament for my contributions to healthcare and also received a Ministerial Community Services award for bravery assisting the public.

I have been in engaged in fitness and sports since childhood; cycling, kayaking, running, swimming, weight training, surfing and boxing and trained many colleagues, family and friends to lead a better life through staying physically and mentally strong and healthy. I have completed coaching courses in athletics, flat water kayaking, gym, fitness instruction and strength and conditioning. Whilst all that education is important, one element remains central...enjoy the process of leading an active life; keep things fun, simple, sustainable and you will benefit immensely .

Nobody is coming to dig us out of a hole, we have to do it ourself. With the right people around us however, the process of digging becomes so much easier.

I combine my extensive health experience and counselling experience to motivate as many people as possible to overcome whatever is holding them back so they can enjoy a better life by using fitness as a means to achieve overall wellness and happiness. Enjoy digging people!
