About

I’m a wellbeing speaker, practitioner, coach, and host of Wellbeing Gets Real Podcast.

With nearly 20 years of experience in sharing positive psychology and neuroscience within corporates and education, I have worked with all levels of an organisation.

My Positive Psychology lens on leadership coaching involves; noting the shift towards compliance for managing psychosocial risks within teams, while ensuring psychological safety (the building of trust) within a team remains an imperative.  I provide coaching for managers in the neurobiology of connection to help build a culture of care.

I also offer a specific focus on supporting working parents. Parental mental distress is on the rise and organisations are losing valuable people as a result. I’ve built an evidence-based framework, The CALMER Parent Wellbeing Model™® to foster the wellbeing of working parents both in the workplace and at home. This framework is supported by a set of practical (& aesthetically pleasing) action cards to help make wellbeing real for parents. These helpful strategies aim to strengthen the ecosystem everyone (parents and children) comes home to each night in order to recharge.

Knowledge is only beneficial if you can and do apply it. I know what life is like, I live it too, so I have made it my mission to ensure wellbeing gets real for you!

A bit about me…

Back in the day I used to identify as being a fierce hockey player who was as dance floor starter and loved to sing out of tune, now I’m more of a zen yogi, who dabbles in playing hockey, but still starts any dance floor and continues to sing out of tune… Something else that has stayed consistent is the importance I place on relationships. My family and my friends are always top of my mind.

Why psychology? When I was 16, at a hockey camp and with the help of a sports psychologist, I started my lifelong obsession with psychology, improvement and personal potential. Much to my poor husband and children’s dismay, I’m always banging on about learning and growth! At least my clients love me for it…well they ask me back, so that’s proof right?!?!

I’ve learnt that in order for my family to thrive, I need to stay on top of my own level of wellbeing. I must be of service to myself, so I can be of service to others.
