I’m an Australian, and have been living in the USA for 28 years. I’m 63 years old. I’m a professional Confidante and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Melbourne, with a post-graduate Diploma of Education from Mercy College. I have been self-employed since I was 23, and for 15 years I operated a large and successful private practice in the area of early-childhood development and self-expression.

I’m married and I adore my husband. He and I met when he was 13 years old and I was 12. We have been very best friends for 52 years and have been married for 40 amazing years. We have a unique relationship. We have a 34 year-old daughter, and sons who are 36 and 38. We also have 2 beautiful grandchildren.

Since 1986, I have been involved in Transformative Education programs. In more recent years I’ve been on an educational pilgrimage, focusing specifically on the areas of confidence, intimacy and relationships.

I love to learn and I’m always expanding my professional toolbox. I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, certified through the Hypnotherapy Training Institute. I’m a Certified Advanced  Rapid Transformation Therapy (RTT) Practitioner, trained by world renowned Hypnotherapist, Marisa Peer. Since 2018 I’ve been a Practitioner Trainer with the RTT school. I'm a certified practitioner of The Stages of Love curriculum, where I work with couples and singles. I’m a certified Emotional Resolution practitioner. I’m a graduate of Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschmann’s, Somatica Method of Sex Therapy and Relationship Coaching.  I’m certified in Sexual Freedom Hypnosis. I’m also a graduate of the PAX Mastery and Certification program with Alison Armstrong and my area of focus was relationships. 

My physical health and well-being is one of the highest, long-standing priorities in my life. Since early childhood I have pursued a lifelong commitment to physical fitness and wellbeing. I eat a pristine diet, and am a devout student of yoga and meditation. I’m also a Certified Yoga Instructor.

My work with men, women, children and teens: I love men. I love their capacity for tenderness and their innate desire to contribute. I deeply appreciate what they bring to the world, and I love their capacity for fatherhood, friendship and forgiveness.

I love women. I believe in their goodness, their strength, their infinite capability and their beauty. I love who they can be for themselves, for men, for children and for the world.

I am passionate about working with children, drawing on 15 years of specialized experience collaborating with children and their families. I am committed to children and teens being empowered and grounded in how magnificent, capable and amazing they are. I am committed to them being more conscious, more confident, less reactive, and feeling good about themselves. 

What matters most of all to me is that everyone who I work with discovers that they are perfectly capable of taking responsibility for themselves, and of making changes in how they react and respond to the situations and the people in their life. 

Regardless of age or gender, I am very clear of the fact that you are perfectly able and capable. I will respect your time and your humanity, and, given the ethics of my profession as a Confidante, I promise absolute discretion and confidentiality, at all times, with regard to whatever it is that we discuss and explore.
