Life is like a camera lens …
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. I’m in the field of helping people address their fears, trauma, loss, anger and unmet needs and dreams. However, I haven’t always heeded my own professional advice. That all changed within a crystalline moment , when I realised I was coauthor of my life. If…

Funnily enough…
What book could you read over and over again? To be perfectly honest, I’m not much into rereading fictional prose. I’m much more likely to reread works of poetry and non-fiction academic books and journals .

Ethereal being.
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why? I’d be a mishmash of the ethereal healer archetype.

I’d gladly let go of the chains that bind me to my chosen profession. Professional responsibilities that sometimes strangle the creativity and free spiritedness from my soul.…

Ambiguity abounds
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? I’d create a Billboard with a random and incredibly ambiguous message, that way everybody will interpret it the way they want to, need to, or are capable of perceiving. It would be “hey you! Yes you! It really is your choice, so what are you…

Respect
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? The gift of respect, compassion and kindness. The gift of consideration, thoughtfulness and empathy. The gift of seeing beyond my flaws and idiosyncrasies and seeing my authentic self, my true essence, and graciously and gently loving me as I am. The gift of friendship, of allowing…

This moment … this now.
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? I definitely have learned to bring my mind and focus into this present moment; Into the ‘now’. When we focus on the past, or give the past too much attention, importance and power, we can experience feelings of loss, sadness and depression.…

What colleges have you attended? I attended The University of Sydney. I’m currently tossing up whether to go a masters degree in Autism Studies.
