I will help you to

My mission is to empower you to live a life that reflects your values.

I am also a Mum of two so I understand and appreciate the demands and challenges of parenthood.

Counselling

Mindfulness is an important component of my day to day living. It helps me with managing stress, strengthens my relationships with others, boosts my self esteem and improves work performance.  In essence I practice what I preach.

You’ll find me warm and approachable.

I am also a qualified Pilates Teacher with a Diploma in Pilates Movement Therapy.

I offer confidential career counselling and psychological support via Telehealth and in person in Inner Melbourne and Eltham area.
