I am passionate about all-things-human. My favourite quote is: “There’s a crack in
everything- that’s how the light gets in”. I love assisting others to help find that “light”
again. I enjoy running and singing in a choir.

Testimonials
OT made me realise things about myself I never knew, and the importance of certain things. Thank you.
I realised that it is OK to ask for help and what I need.
Communication styles are extremely important to understand each other in order to accommodate each other’s needs.
Forgiveness is for myself, not the other person. There’s more feelings than just happy, sad, angry etc…
Forgiveness gives me the peace and freedom I deserve.
