My Story

From Country Girl to Vitality Coach: A Journey of Resilience, Healing & Heart

I was born in the small country town of Coonamble, NSW, the eldest of five children. With a truck-driving dad and a hard-working mum in the office, I learned early on what it meant to show up, keep going, and care deeply for others.

From as young as I can remember, I knew I was here to help. Nursing called to me like a whisper from my soul so at 16 years and 9 months (yes, I was counting!), I left school to chase that dream.

I earned my Nurse Aide certificate in Yass, and soon after, packed my bags for Sydney to begin my Registered Nurse training.

But city life didn’t quite suit my country heart, so I found my way to Cowra to finish my studies and that’s where my lifelong love affair with nursing truly took root.

But life, as it often does, brought deep heartache. While I was still in training, our family experienced an unimaginable loss my 15-year-old brother, Paul, passed away suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage while on the road with Dad.

The grief fractured my family, and my parents eventually separated. It was a turning point I’ll never forget.

Still, I held on to my dream. I completed my training, moved forward, and not long after, I became a mother. I found myself raising my beautiful son solo in Narrabri at a time when single motherhood was still whispered about behind closed doors.

But I was determined.

I worked hard, took on leadership roles in hospitals, and always led with compassion for my patients, my staff, and my son.

Over the years, more heartbreak followed.

I lost another brother to suicide and a third to cancer.

I faced divorce after a long marriage, lost everything financially, and navigated complex parenting challenges.

I rebuilt, again and again.

At one point, I reconnected with my first love my eldest son’s father. We got engaged, hopeful for a new chapter.

But old patterns re-emerged: addiction, loss, heartbreak.

Before he passed away 11 years ago, we made peace.

And I’m grateful for that.

Each twist, each trial, each tear carved the path toward something deeper.

I began asking why?
Why do we repeat patterns?
Why do we abandon ourselves?
Why do we wait until we break to finally choose healing?

That curiosity led me to the work of Louise Hay.

From there, my personal growth journey caught fire. I trained as a Life Coach, then dove deep into NLP, Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy™, and energy work. I became a Master Practitioner and now, a Trainer.

I studied the Law of Attraction, became a facilitator of The Wish, explored Reiki, sound healing, and integrated everything I learned into my nursing work bringing both science and soul to the bedside and beyond.

Now, with over 50 years as a Registered Nurse and decades of personal and professional healing, I combine my lived experience, holistic training, and deep empathy to guide women especially nurses and carers toward radiance, resilience, and real self-care.

Whether through 1:1 coaching, group programs, workshops, or my AO Scan Bio-Resonance Technology (truly a game-changer!), I help women remember who they are beneath the burnout and reclaim the vibrant life they deserve.

These days, I also work as a Facial Emotional Therapist because healing isn’t just about the mind or body.

It’s energy. It’s expression. It’s connection.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

You are never too far gone, too tired, or too broken to begin again.

Vitality is possible. Joy is possible.

Aging well on your own terms is possible.

So don’t let the world’s noise drown out your inner wisdom.
You’ve got this.
And I’ve got you. 💕
