I am the eldest of 8 children. Following my arrival into the world at Rockhampton, I was raised in a beautiful part of the world called Zilzie, on the Capricorn Coast. My childhood and adolescence were spent in and around the water, where I went swimming, surfing, sailing, spear fishing, scuba diving, skiing and sea kayaking. Hence my love of and fascination with water.

Later I went to university and trained to be a teacher. As a highly qualified and experienced educator, I have taught in schools from one end of Queensland to the other. I gained enormous satisfaction giving my personal best to the students and communities I served. However, I have since discovered that many things were out of balance, including my own health and family life.

It is my belief that people need to take personal responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. Did you know that 70% of people admitted to Queensland hospitals in 2005 were treated for preventable aliments ? Do you want to be in that cohort, or do you want to have a greater input into managing your own wellbeing ?

I call my business, "Attaining Wellbeing". This is because we live in a fast paced world, where people are looking for instant fixes, all the time. When it comes to your own wellbeing it has to be a deliberate act and a series of actions over an extended period of time. Come with me on a life long journey, to learn more about the power of wellness. That is, wellness of mind, body, family, finances and our society/environment.
