I liked the alliteration, and Passion, Purpose and Peace became the strapline to my various communications. But what do I m...

People often ask me about my work. What do you actually do?! What kind of people do you work with? I realise my work is unusual. Walking into all manner of situations through a typical work day. I always feel privileged in my work, working deeply and honestly with people. The challenges are varied, but in each case I support people to untangle them...

Happiness is just around the corner I am often humbled to work as a life coach. Hearing peoples honest stories of what they put up with and all. Over the years I have learnt so much about the human condition, the traps we build for ourselves and the stories-of-smallness we convince ourselves of. I could write a book.
