About Me

BUSINESS
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

I have been entrepreneurial since I was 16 when I started my first English & Japanese Tutoring business and at 19 I was a senior golf caddie in Japan.

​

I lived, worked and studied in Japan, Chile and Belgium and picked up a few extra languages along the way. Learning languages and living in other countries requires resilience and grit. You also learn to never take yourself or life too seriously!

​

I knew at the age of 10 that I would live in other countries and made it my goal to learn 5 languages! I just have 1 more to go! Living abroad and learning other languages as well as attending University in Tokyo stretched my comfort zone beyond my imagination. And this is something I have continued to do.

​

​

I have a Bachelors & Honours Degree in Japanese and a Post Graduate Diploma in TESOL. I completed my 3rd year of my Bachelors in Japanese at a University in Tokyo whilst on a scholarship with the Japanese government.

​

I am continuing my formal studies and qualifications in Life Coaching, Master Coach and Wellness Coaching.

After more than 30 years in business and lifelong studies and learning I have so much to share and empower you with too.

LIFE                  Vision

I have always lived my life to the fullest. Life is an adventure. We get one shot so let’s make the most of it!

​

I learnt this when I lost my Mum to cancer when I was 10 years old. I grew up overnight and took on many responsibilities from a young age.

​

I think because I lost some of my childhood I love to be very playful and find the light and FUN in everything I take on. I choose to look for the silver lining in everything and I choose to make the most of every day and every opportunity.

I went through a serious health journey around the same age that my Mum passed away from cancer. This gave me a real wake up call to make my health and wellness a priority.

From mind, body and skin I am always striving to make healthier habits with nutrition, exercise as well as personal development.

​

A healthy lifestyle is all about the 80/20 rule for me. Eat clean, exercise and meditate 80% of the time and 20% of the time do as you please and live a little!
