Bio |Where the Story Began | My Tree Change Story | About My Logo
Imagine a very shy and lost thirty something gal sitting in a meditation class desperately trying to fill the void that existed in her soul. She didn't say much at the best of times and she certainly didn't speak up in public, it simply was not an option. I didn't even ask questions in workshops. The thought of getting on a stage and speaking wasn't even in my thought patterns. I just sat there like a stunned rabbit desperately trying to find meaning in my life.
Of course I was the weird little gal sitting on the meditation stool.
At the time I had become a bit of an expert at fixing corporate bungles. I even found out that what I did had a name – forensic business anaylst. As fancy as that sounded, scouring through accounting records and conversing with computer geeks just wasn't doing it for me. I felt like the angel of death as everyone ducked for cover when I arrived at a new role. I was constantly delving in the past and there were very few wins for anyone.
I had travelled quite extensively and lived in some major cities but during my Sydney stint had picked up quite a nasty drinking habit. I ate McDonalds on the way to work to try and deal with the hangovers and get me through the day. Funny, but that wasn't really working for me.
The week I left Sydney I had my tarot cards read and was told I would take on the energy of the High Priestess, full of spiritual knowledge and wisdom and I would be passing that to others. Truly, if I wasn't so hungover I would have asked the guy to share whatever he was smoking. He had to be on drugs because my life certainly looked nothing like that at the time. I didn't know it at the time but I was desperately unhappy.
Now here I sit writing this, something that has the potential for the whole wide world to see and I've even been happy to tell the dark side of my adventure on live TV and in the media. Even I have to face the fact that I've overcome a few demons. It has been a journey of self-discovery, hardship, fun and learning all rolled into one for me.
It didn't happen over night. I started very cautiously learning about magic and how to read tarot cards, then the meditation stool beckoned. I found the gift of Reiki then the EMF Balancing Technique found me and my life moved forward dramatically from that time on. Once I discovered coaching it all fitted together, and although I don't use the coaching models so much anymore, the positive world it introduced me to, moved me up to another level.
As so many positive things filled my life, I realised I had no use for the negative ones. I've cleaned up my act considerably. Over time I gradually gave up drinking and now find I don't need to drink alcohol at all. Caffeine fixes are a thing of the past and now only indulge my love of a long black once a month. Next to go is the sugar addiction but a life without chocolate is still proving difficult to achieve! Without denying myself too much good stuff, my aim is to live a healthy life.
As I've evolved I have met some amazing people who have so generously shared their knowledge with me. I have felt the kindness and love of friends and family who have supported me along the way. I've experienced many grand things, but none grander than watching the progress of my clients. It gives me great joy to see them succeeding out in the world, knowing I've played some small part in their journey.
The road travelled would have been much less troublesome for me without this thing called integrity that seems to have latched itself quite firmly to me. As I set up my coaching practice I could have gone for the corporate dollar, I could have provided the more glitzy programs that promise a lot and are easy to sell but don't really deliver much long term. Instead I've stuck stead fast to my vision and values for my company and I'm very proud my product.
My move to a simple life at the Cute House in Hepburn Springs has bought me to a place where knowledge, authenticity and integrity are the key drivers in my life. The things I love to do revolve around these three things as well. I love personal development workshops, I love to write and create stuff, I love going to see musicians play their music live, I love to travel and being in nature and I love hanging out with friends and family.
I've got this far and feel really proud of what I've done. Who knows what the future will bring for me, but I say BRING IT ON!
