“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. 

The world will not have it. 

It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. 

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. 

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. 

You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. 

Keep the channel open.”

 Martha Graham

Our contemporary world is framed in speed and information, and I have been a runner in the fast lane. Indeed, I have. 

In the overwhelm of it I learned the value of stillness, reflection and courageous conversation. Now I delight in the rich world of active learning, creativity,

mystery and imagination. 

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. 

Knowledge is limited.

 Imagination encircles the world.”

Albert Einstein

Synthesizing movement and transformation, communication and learning, it is my joy to help people find their true dance as leaders, become their own masterpiece, their best friend, their fulfilled being. 

Whatever your field, whatever you want to develop or deepen in yourself, I can assist. 

As founder of global executive coaching practice, Your World Within, and CEO of Alchemy Publishing, I have worked for over 20 years with clients all over the world in a huge range of industries.  

My coaching and team development work is a unique fusion of inner reflection, martial arts energy transformation and outer practical strategy implementation that coalesces into an uplift in leadership skills, deeper personal harmony, business aliveness and soul-satisfying abundance. I am highly trained in healing, insight and energy modalities and combine this with vast experience to create a unique and safe learning place for each client. 

The results are we make a place of curiosity, presence and mindfulness for our work. Reflection is deep. Learning is practical. Insight grows. Practices sharpen. Active transformation happens. Results are embodied, visible, and life-changing. Business and life is impacted and expanded.

In Alchemy Publishing I help clients intentionally increase their profile, sharing their stories of transformation through published works, in a supported inner alchemy, to uplevel and rapidly growing their authority, reputation and influence.

Career and Training Overview

First and foremost the bedrock is dance. 20 years of formal classical experience, then many different versions led to improvised, ecstatic free-form and dance as meditation. 

University-trained teacher and media specialist, with majors in literature and media. 

First jobs were as a book editor in Australia’s largest and revered oldest publishing house, then PR officer, then Advertising Creative Director. Night school studying PR and Advertising, Graphics and Print Production, then extra TV & Film Producer/Director training. All handy as I expanded into Corporate Communications roles, both heading a large national function, then heading my own thriving communications agency. 

Intensive psychotherapy training jettisons me into a performance-driven foundation of being an executive coach, presentation trainer and team development facilitator, with clients in banking, insurance, manufacturing, social services, mining and engineering. 

Add 15 years of training and experience in dance movement therapy, especially with dementia, frail aged and mental health carers. Marriage education training and counselling work. Art Gallery owner and community art shows. Practising poet. Yes I believe in being a life-long learner. I fold in many courses in human development such as meditation training, Myers Briggs, Jungian Psychological Alchemy, improvisation teacher in the InterPlay process and Aikido student. 

Whether studying the semiotics of advertising at university or the character structures of Wilhelm Reich in body-oriented psychotherapy training, I wrap it all around profound respect for the mystery of being human, the joy of learning and the beauty of presence-based connection and sharing, inspiring movement and transformation.
