gently living + working..
Be gentle… with yourself, with others + with the planet.
Impact-lead founder, Shine From Within (est. 2012), slowwww traveller, multi-award-winning business coach + writer.
After a 2 year battle with stage 4 cancer in my 20’s, I reallllly love exploring ways to live, and work, gently, with the capacity you have now. And I love holding space for others, particularly teenagers, to find their purpose, believe in themselves, save our world (too much pressure?!), etc!
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Business Management (University of Queensland), Certificates in Child Protection and Young People’s Mental Health and Technology, BYCA Certified Life Coach, Feminist Coach Theory, and many more (full list over at Shine From Within, the beautiful business I’ve been running since 2012).
If you’d love some support with finding your own version of gentle, ditching the hustle and doing business your way, or want to support the next generation somehow and become a youth mentor yourself, I’m your person. Welcome to my little online home!

My partner and I started travelling in May 2024. If you’re curious to follow along as a couple of VERY introverted, 40-somethings (well he’s 44 and I’m a couple of months off 40!) attempt to live and work gently while slowly wandering/travelling through Asia, then you might enjoy my new journal over on Substack.
