Women's Confidence Coach & Somatic Therapist · Brisbane
You're not broken.
You just stopped listening to yourself.
(And honestly? Same. Let's talk about it.)
I work with women who are done pretending they're fine — and ready to actually feel like themselves again. No toxic positivity. No overnight miracles. Just the real work.
Whether you're carrying grief that has a name, or grief that doesn't,
whether you went to bed a wife and woke up a widow,
you are allowed to fall apart here.
And then we put you back together. Differently. Better.
From I don't know
— to I Know Now
Can I be honest with you for a second?
Most women who find me aren't falling apart. They're holding it together so well that nobody around them even knows something's wrong.
They're showing up. Doing the things. Ticking the boxes. And quietly, in the background, wondering why the hell they still feel like this.
Sometimes it's anxiety wearing the mask of "just being busy." Sometimes it's grief wearing the mask of "I'm fine, I've moved on." Sometimes it's a confidence that eroded so slowly you didn't even notice it was going.
Whatever brought you here — you don't have to explain yourself.
Her Story
Wife to widow in 9 months.
___________________________________
My husband Glen died when I was thirty weeks pregnant. On the day my son Franklin was born, I lost my uncle too. Two years later, a motorcycle accident ended my career. Then came the businesses that closed. The relationships that ended. The slow dismantling of everything I thought I was.
I am not a therapist who studied grief or confidence from the outside. I am a woman who went through every version of it and came out the other side knowing something most people don't. Your body holds the answers your brain can't find yet.
"I went from wife to widow in nine months. That changed everything. Including me."
Twenty years as a hairdresser taught me how to hold space before I knew what that meant. I was always the counsellor in the salon. Now I just get to sit down to do the counselling.
Today I work with women who are carrying losses that don't always have names for. I give them the language, the body work, and the path forward.
