I am a Jungian depth coach based in the green hills of Gippsland, just out of Melbourne, Australia.

Before moving into this work, I spent fifteen years as a qualitative researcher in advertising and the social sector, talking with every kind of person on almost every imaginable topic.

In my thirties, I moved to a hundred-acre farm and opened a tiny restaurant in my home centred around a century-old table. The project emerged from another kind of talking:

What conversations might be possible when twelve strangers join you for Sunday lunch each week?

These lunches took on a life of their own and were regularly booked out a year in advance.

During this period, I also launched a collaborative retail space in a local town, wrote monthly columns for Country Style magazine, and appeared regularly on ABC radio.

A series of profound losses, and the need to rebuild life from the ground up, was the catalyst for my move into coaching.

The work I now offer is the work I wish I had been able to do at the time I most needed it. It is work that has brought me greater internal steadiness, trust in my own perception, and a renewed sense of lightness. It is the work I now bring to this practice.

I live with my partner Rod, two old dogs, and a vegetable garden that has its own ideas.
