She is passionate about empowering workplaces to engage in braver conversations, create braver cultures, and take braver steps of action.

Multi-passionate, she’s also a volunteer counsellor, a beginner guitar player, and serious carpool karaoke-er!

Brave Healing Journal

Introducing 'The Brave Healing Journal'... inspired being by Mental Health Awareness Month, it's finally time to launch!

In this journal I not only share my story (from flying high in fancy jets to sporting scrubs in the psych unit), but also the tools that literally saved my life. Inside these pages you'll find powerful ideas, practical tools, daily prompts, affirmations and inspirations, as well as small action challenges designed to help you find your brave and empower your journey. It creates a safe space to explore your own thoughts and feelings, cultivate self-awareness, self-compassion, and the confidence to see what's possible, from wherever you are.

We are all healing from something.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

And you’re not alone.
