My philosophy and the 'why' of The Heart Way
As an artist, educator and mentor, my pursuit encompasses a commitment to comprehensive instruction and mentorship across all my disciplines. My journey thus far includes a Master's degree in Fine Arts, a Bachelor's degree in Music (specialising in cello performance), a Graduate Diploma in Education, and a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health. Alongside these, I hold certifications in Yoga Teaching, Holistic Counseling, and Life Coaching, each reflecting my dedication to a holistic approach. Infused with a profound enthusiasm for perpetual learning, I embrace the unfolding voyage of life, continually embarking on new frontiers. Along my path I have learned one thing clearly that has made all the difference.
If you do not do things wholeheartedly, why do them at all?
​
That's how, what, and WHY I do what I do.
The Heart Way
(rather than the hard way).

A Bit More of My Journey..
Having grown up across three diverse countries—England, the USA, and Australia—in a family steeped in music, my journey was one of continuous adventure. Initiated into the world of music through cello at the tender age of 5, I eventually carved out a performance career in Los Angeles, working within the music industry alongside luminaries such as Mariah Carey, The Backstreet Boys, Rod Stewart, The Bangles, and Destiny's Child (Beyoncé), among many others. My repertoire encompassed a record contract with Sony Music via Columbia Records, both as a songwriter and a vocalist, coupled with orchestrating music for numerous albums and contributing to over 60 releases.
Relocating to Australia in 2005, I embarked on the profound journey of motherhood, nurturing three remarkable children. To harmonise my vocation with their lives, I embarked upon studies at Edith Cowan University, where I attained a teaching degree. This marked the pivot towards the rewarding endeavor of imparting knowledge and fostering growth in others, in tandem with nurturing their aspirations.
Guided by an innate ability to connect with others on a level surpassing musical notes or written words, my path led me towards counseling and coaching, a pursuit inspired by dreams that I had been nursing. Years of introspection, education, and practical application converged, revealing that my seemingly disparate areas of study and interest were, in fact, interconnected. This epiphany set the stage for a business model that allowed me to extend my reach to a broader audience, guiding them toward their fullest potential and aiding them in their journeys toward self-discovery.
No longer vying for the spotlight, my passion now resides in bearing witness to others' journeys—watching them unearth their passions, heal from within, surmount obstacles, and savor the experience of being acknowledged and embraced for who they are. Armed with 15 years of business ownership, 8 years of engagement within the Australian education system, homeschooling experience, immersive self-development practices, and a life imbued with the values I impart, I stand ready to share my insights and accompany you on your transformative expedition.
