Aged seventeen, I was talent-scouted on Sydney’s northern beaches and began work as a fashion model. Two years later I was selected by the Eileen Ford Model agency to join their team in New York. I worked and travelled internationally for three years and  loved my career.

​

Then, in my mid-twenties, my life changed in an instant. Seated in the back of a kombi with my baby daughter in my lap, the driver lost control. At that time seat belts weren’t mandatory, and the car had none. I curled protectively around my daughter as the vehicle rolled and tumbled down a slope. 

​

At the hospital, I discovered my spine was fractured in multiple places. My doctors told me I would likely be in hospital for months, and I might never walk again. I couldn’t accept it. I kept thinking of my little girl—safe with family, but hours away—missing her mother day after day. Every night after lights out, I painstakingly pull myself to the edge of the bed and try to bear weight,  so I could leave and get back to her. Ten days after the accident I walked out of hospital. 

​

What followed was an awakening. I retreated with my daughter to the countryside to heal, and began my journey as an advocate for the natural environment. Connecting with my intuition, I turned to breath work and yoga postures, and I learned how natural therapies—supported by skilled osteopathic and chiropractic care—could help the body recover. Remarkable doctors and gifted natural therapists didn’t just help me survive; they helped me thrive. Gradually, I realised how vital it is for people of all ages to have access to education about the options that can truly support wellbeing and happiness.

​

Wanting to give something back, I trained to guide others using the therapies I’d lived through and come to trust. I drew on practices such as Hatha Yoga, acupressure, and reflexology—then combined them into a therapy I named Holistic Reflexology. Finally, I completed Cert IV Training and Assessment so I could teach what I’d learned and help others recover with the same confidence and care.

​

Today, I feel inspired to share my story and encourage us to activate and support clean, sustainable energy systems—so the natural world can regenerate and remain safe for present and future generations. The intrinsic relationship between human wellbeing and the natural environment has always captivated me. Mother Nature and our Creator have been my greatest teachers. Earth is our home.

 

Our survival—and our joie de vivre—depend on how we care for air quality, soil, rivers, oceans, farmlands, and forests. Regenerating our environment isn’t just important; it’s imperative if we want a positive, peaceful life experience for the whole world—especially for our children and the generations to come.

​

I also believe stories are one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Inspired by something greater than myself, I’ve written about my healing journey and my experiences as a woman, a mother, and a healer—and I look forward to sharing these insights with you. Valuable lessons have come through this path: about our relationship with the environment, with one another, and with our spiritual growth. My books are being brought to the website now, and I would be grateful for your feedback when that time comes.

My website has different sections for you to explore, with helpful hints and tips for increasing health and wellbeing.
