ABOUT ME

For the past six years, I’ve worked in the disability and mental health space, offering grounded, person-centred support so women feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected.

I hold a Certificate IV in Mental Health Peer Work and bring both professional training and lived experience into my work. Like many of the women I support, my own wellbeing has been shaped through navigating emotional overwhelm — and discovering how powerful rest, creativity, and gentle structure can be in restoring balance.

Art and craft have played a big role in my own healing journey. Not as something to “get right,” but as a way to slow down, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with myself. That’s why creativity and mindfulness sit at the heart of what I offer — as invitations, not expectations.

Alongside my peer work training, my approach is informed by formal study in nutrition, lifestyle medicine, meditation and mindfulness practices, and DBT-informed emotional regulation skills.

These frameworks don’t drive the experience at Inner Knowing Respite — they quietly support it. They inform how I pace the day, hold structure, offer regulation tools, and respond to moments of overwhelm, without ever placing pressure on participants to “work on themselves.”

While rest always comes first at Inner Knowing Respite, I’m also a wellness coach at heart. I believe that when women feel calm, safe, and supported, confidence and clarity naturally begin to return. From that steadier place, setting goals, learning new skills, and making meaningful changes becomes possible — without pressure or overwhelm.

My intention is simple:
to support women to leave feeling more peaceful, more confident, and more trusting of their own inner knowing — resourced to take their next steps in a way that feels right for them.🌿
