My life experiences so far have included; professional ballet dancing, competitive show jumping and skydiving, single parenting, job losses, international relocations, whistle blowing, infamy, becoming homeless, writing a book, motivational speaking, re-establishing.  These events have not defined me but have contributed to the whole.  They have facilitated personal revelation and transformation.  They have established and shaped my intuitions, feelings and values. My voyage of discovery has been quite unique.

As a professional ballet dancer I learnt to wear the mask appropriate to the character I was portraying on stage.  This became a helpful aid in business and social situations.  Whilst codifying myself in a form which would be acceptable to others I was always mindful about neglecting my inner self.

Through learning to skydive I have developed a lifestyle philosophy of how to live my life to get the best out of it.  I learned to visualise and understood the value of overcoming my fears and trusting myself.  I learned focus, discipline and team spirit. Most poignantly, I have learned to live beyond the boundaries of my ego.

I studied accountancy in Cape Town, South Africa and spent many years as an executive in the corporate world.  In 2001 I elected to change direction and grow towards change and self fulfilment by being trained to become a Lifecoach and then appearing in a BBC documentary regarding the benefits of a unitive approach to client-centred lifecoaching.
