I trained in Rebirthing Breathwork in the 1990s, soon after completing my Performing Arts degree. My performing career included touring in large-scale musicals, Shakespeare and other plays, followed by a shift into hospitality — the “actor-as-waiter” phase taken to its extreme when I owned a restaurant for a few years. I raised two sons, toured self-devised shows, taught French and singing in schools and privately, and later worked in property renovation and management.

In 2016, I reconnected with healer, shaman, and medicine woman Diane Jeffries, and with Alignment Breathwork. I trained intensively with Diane for over three years, and continue to deepen and update my skills and qualifications regularly, with such teachers as Hannah Kendaru of Inspire Breathwork, and Helena Walsh in Ireland, as well as working with my mentor of 25 years, psychoanalytic psychotherapist Deborah Coulthard.

In 2024, I completed my MA in Dramaturgy at the Victorian College of the Arts. I now bring together decades of experience in the arts, education, healing, and life to offer a holistic, embodied, and compassionate practice. I’m honoured to share the powerful, transformational tool of breathwork with others — and grateful to witness how all the threads of my life are weaving together.
