My Coaching Story

I undertook a Certificate IV in Life Coaching in 2008, helping my clients throughout Australia to achieve their personal and professional goals. I've also worked in brand, business development and marketing roles in corporations and partnerships since graduating from Monash University in 1998 with a Bachelor of  Communications.  I am completing my Diploma of Mental Health, with a focus on supporting those that are grieving, and promotion and training of mental health in the workplace. 

​

The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, so that you can overcome them with confidence. I specialise in creating personalised plans and providing tools to guide you forward and achieve your desired goals.

​

My passion is Grief Recovery and mental wellness. 

 

I believe that by combining different cultural philosophies, traditional coaching techniques and some compassion and humour, so much can be achieved to help you on your way. 

​

How did I get into Grief work?

I experienced significant losses in a short period. Through this, I found that traditional grief counselling methods did not work for me - I was too good at pretending to be ok, when really, I was falling apart. I always thought, if only they'd asked me a couple more questions, then they'd really know I was NOT coping. I was lucky enough to receive some coaching to help me with my grief. I felt it moved me forward at least 6-12 months. Then I realised - there must be a lot of other people out there like me that have trouble asking for help; coaching is for them. I want to help people in the same way I've been helped. That is when Blaze Coaching began. 

​

In addition to my formal qualifications, I also study Tony Robbins coaching techniques, am a qualified Reiki Master, Level 3 Kahuna Therapist (Mette's Institute) and study, use and write Pythagorean numerology profiles.
