I am a mother of four beautiful children, living in Southern Tasmania surrounded by beaches and bushland. 

I joyously home school my son and three daughters. I am passionate about working with children and families through the arts, nature and community and believe in providing space for empowering our children for a changing world. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a primary school teacher, family services worker and children’s yoga teacher.  I am an involved member of my local community and I love being in nature, singing and writing. 

I grew up surrounded by many women and girls, however, reached my thirties with little knowledge of and connection to my body and cycles.  

I was drawn to Celebration Day for Girls because I want my daughters to grow up understanding and honouring their bodies and on this continuing journey I have learnt so much about myself. It has been life changing and I am excited about not only nurturing a positive experience of menarche for my daughters, but for opening this door to many other girls and women in my community.

Being a mother to three beautifully-natured home-learners and wife to an amazing man, I have surely been trusted intuitively for a most humbling and rewarding occupation.

All my life I have been very passionate about promoting a harmonious relationship firstly and consciously with oneself; encouraging family bonding; nurturing a balanced life; embracing diversity in cultures and ethnics; and holistic connection through meditation to attain a content, kind and compassionate state of being.

I left my career as an account and management advisor for foreign companies when I fell pregnant with my second child (first daughter). Since 2007 I have operated a home-based business producing beautiful personal care products and qualified as a master of Reiki. I also run workshops on how to make tofu and tempe, Batik, and HYO (heal your own) workshops on Ayurvedic methods. I volunteered teaching Indonesian language and culture at local schools and visiting the elderly in a residential care home when I lived in Gippsland, Victoria over several years.

My family and I now live in Tasmania and I am so much looking forward to offering Celebration Day for Girls here, as well as returning to Gippsland regularly for this purpose. I am so grateful to be part of the Celebration Day for Girls community, to help create positive experiences for girls with their first menarche, and I treasure the honour of carrying on this well-established work created by Jane Bennett.

Blessings!

I also offer Fathers Celebrating Daughters workshops.
