About
I’ve been called a modern day “Wise Woman”, encapsulating the renaissance spirit: well-travelled, well-educated, multi-lingual, eternally curious and free-spirited and generally fascinated by people and life.
As a sex and life coach I use my light-heartedness, lateral thinking and rigour to help you bring out your best and enjoy the best that life has to offer. It’s the same approach I take with writing, public speaking and running workshops - it’s serious stuff presented in an accessible, light and enjoyable manner.
I came to coaching after a life lived around the world working in environmental science, international relations and communication. Even though I had an impressive career, I felt an urge to work directly with people, and love the coaching paradigm of working with people to make them exceptional, with extraordinarily experiences and contributions. And I love it! So do my clients.
I’ve also spent decades studying and practicing the eastern arts of aikido and yoga, and I bring these philosophies and practices into my work with people, particularly the workshops, where I combine the best of the ancient east with the best of the modern west. And I love dancing, meditating, gardening, cryptic crosswords, making love and generally pottering around.
I am unabashedly fascinated by sex in all it’s aspects, from the biological to the esoteric. I’ve studied it all my life, through my scientific and eastern studies. I firmly believe that a confident, integrated sexuality is crucial to a fulfilling and vital life.
I’m 43 years old and live in Sydney, Australia with my three (mostly) delightful children and one (mostly) adorable husband and lover (15 years and going strong!).
Qualifications
I love to study, so I’ve got a string of letters after my name: a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and human sciences, a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science, a Bachelor of Arts in languages, and I’m currently undertaking a Masters Degree in Sexology with the University of Sydney.
I’m a Certified Professional Coach having completed a two-year certificate with the International Coach Academy, and I’m an active member of the International Coach Federation, the world’s leading professional body for coaching.
