my story | my training | my professional credentials
Here’s where you can find out a little more about me.

Born in Australia, as a relative youngster I found myself drawn into what became a long and genuinely fulfilling international performing, creative and teaching career. It was my first real taste of vocation — of calling. A meaningful way of being rather than just a doing. When performing, I just felt complete. As though I’d somehow found exactly what I was made for at that very point in my life. In truth it more often felt like it had found me!
My early career led me through the elite national academy of the Australian Ballet and then onwards professionally throughout the globe. Never a star but always in work, I landed on stages, opera houses and screens around the world for well over a decade. Whenever anyone asked ‘What do you do?’ my response was a no-brainer. It wasn’t what I did but what I was. Nevertheless, in what seemed like a blink I learned the tough lesson all elite athletes encounter: Early comes the day when it’s no longer healthy, practical or even possible to keep at it. Young as you are, the body itself simply says ‘Enough!’.
When that day seemed upon me, It seemed that this was the point for me to get proper ‘serious’ in life. While the performing arts are highly creatively rewarding they are rarely so financially, and it now seemed like that time to go chase down the money dragon had finally arrived. But how?
Before you go…a suggestion!
It may well be that you feel I’m simply not the coach for you and that is always fine. For coaching to be effective it’s important to have a good fit. However please know that the world of coaching is full of snares and pitfalls. Sadly there are no regulations on the use of the term coach and as a result you may have someone with years of professional experience and education hanging out a shingle beside another whose entire training consisted of two hours somewhere on the internet watching youtube clips and munching Cheetos. One of the few ways you can figure out this puzzle is to check if the coach is a credentialed member of one of the recognized professional coaching bodies such as the ICF, the Association for Coaching (AC) or the EMCC or at least completed a program accredited by them. Being a credentialed member demonstrates that your coach has been judged as competent, that they have continued to prove their chops and that they abide by a code of professional ethical conduct.
Sadly the rule here is the same as in most of life: caveat emptor or Buyer Beware!
