Private Coaching


Is your soul urging you to:  

Shake up your routine…?

Make a big career or lifestyle change…?

Find a new way to make a living that gives you more freedom…?

Travel the world slowly and intentionally, not just holidaying for a few weeks a year…?

Start or finish a project that would mean the world to you…?

Make a meaningful contribution to a more just and peaceful world…?

Then you’re in the right place…


You don’t have to live a life other people expect. 

I’m an alternative lifestyle coach working with curious souls and life-long explorers who feel called to live an unconventional life.

Not everyone is destined to walk the path society laid out for us after high school.

We don’t have to finish university, get a job, climb a career ladder, get married, buy a house, have children and live happily ever after, in that order.

Some of us actually need more freedom, change, new places, different projects and exploration for curiosities sake, in the same way other people need vegetables or hugs.

We feel happier and healthier when we shake things up, break away from routine, and learn or experience something new and different. 

It’s hard to explain to the people around us why we feel suffocated by routine that rolls from one year to the next. We’re told we’re restless, can’t commit, always jumping from one idea to another.

We feel like failures because we’re always “chopping and changing” and we beat ourselves up for feeling like we don’t fit in the box society has built for us — no matter how hard we try. 

If you get a strong sense that you’re supposed to be living differently, but you’re not sure how to go about it, reach out to me.  

I work with multi-passionate women and freedom-seekers of all ages who are looking to break away from social norms, earn an income in unconventional ways, create meaningful change in their lives and uncover unique ways to explore and impact the world. You can meet some of my clients over here.

After almost two decades working my way around the world through almost 60 countries, 40 different jobs and twice as many passion projects, I may be a little further along on a journey similar to the one you’re destined to take.

I’ve worked out how to take advantage of my multipotentiality so I can earn an income, travel endlessly and live well, and I’m grateful to be in a position where I can now share it with you, too. 

I now offer two different three-month coaching programs, as well as one-off mentoring sessions for curious souls…

 

GPS for the Soul Coaching

This might be for you if: 

  • You’re feeling lost, restless and unsure which direction to take in your life or career
  • You feel like you’re on the treadmill of life but not getting anywhere… or you’re going somewhere you’re just not that excited about anymore.
  • You’re so full of ideas that the overwhelm of opportunity is giving you decision paralysis;
  • You know where you want to go in life but you’re not sure how to get there, or how to even get started; or
  • You’ve completed my free GPS for the Soul self-coaching program and you’re ready to make a change, but you want someone to keep you accountable.

How I Can Help

If you’re interested in this coaching series your first step is to complete my free one-day GPS for the Soul self-coaching program.

This will help you get really clear on what is and isn’t working for you right now, what you want out of life (rather than what you think you should want), where you want to go in your future and how to map a clear path to get there. (You know, like a GPS system… but for your soul 😊)

I’ve been doing this GPS thing since 2005 so I’ve experienced many times firsthand how powerful it can be for creating change in your life… But in order to make change, we have to take action, and sometimes after you’ve taken the first step the initial excitement, momentum and clarity wears off. Life happens, we get distracted and old habits and routines creep back in…

Whatever dreams and goals you’ve mapped out for yourself, GPS for the Soul Coaching is a 3 or 6 month coaching series to help get you on the path from where you are now to where you want to be. Together we can work on developing the mindset, action and tools you need to turn the dreams and ideas you have today into the life you want to be living next year.

This is a general coaching program suitable for anyone and any dream, but I may be particularly helpful if your heart is calling you to:

  • Find a way to earn an income online so you can work from anywhere 
  • Embark on a meaningful travel expedition
  • Learn a new skill such as a language or musical instrument
  • Take on a personal project or challenge with a specific outcome
  • Live more simply with a minimalist or “experiencialist” approach to life.

Package Inclusions and Booking Information:

  • 6 or 12 one-hour coaching sessions via phone, Skype or Zoom
  • Digital download of my ebook Work The World
  • Ongoing text-based support between sessions so you can keep your momentum going
  • An in depth pre-coaching questionnaire to get to know you and your situation before we work together 
  • Coaching notes after each session so you can track your progress and action steps.

Your Investment: 

$220 per month; or
Six one-hour sessions over 3 months: $595 AUD; or
Twelve one-hour sessions over 6 months: $1150 AUD


Multi-Magic Coaching Series


This might be for you if: 

  • You think you might be a multipotentialite but it feels like a negative trait and you’re not sure how to make it work to your advantage
  • You feel called to leap from one interest/career/hobby/country to another but you’re questioning your decision or what direction to take
  • You constantly compare yourself to others and what you feel like you “should’ be doing at this stage of your life
  • You’ve grown bored of a project, job or task you once felt really passionate about but you want to see it through to the end
  • You are full of ideas for what to do next but paralysed by indecisiveness; or
  • You feel 100% ready for a change but something is holding you back

How I Can Help

If you still think of yourself as a dilettante or a “flake” who doesn’t finish what she starts, I’m here to help you embrace, flaunt and celebrate your multipotentiality.

Drawing on my many years of professional project management and employment coaching, as well as my own experience as an extreme multipotentialite sourcing work and experiences around the world, this coaching series is designed to get to the heart of your greatest challenge as a multipotentialite and guide you forward onto the next path you’re destined to travel… without any judgement or pressure.  

Areas we may cover include: 

  • How your multipotentiality can work to your advantage in life, career and relationships
  • The reasons why you’re craving change and how to navigate the transition
  • How to bring together your unique skills, talents and interests to pursue a new career direction or project
  • Strategies to finish what you started when you’re bored and tired of it
  • Overcoming decision paralysis so you can choose your next adventure
  • Managing yours and others expectations of who you should be or what you should be doing

Package Inclusions and Booking Information:

  • 6 or 12 one-hour coaching sessions via phone, Skype or Zoom
  • Digital download of my ebook Work The World
  • Ongoing text-based support between sessions so you can keep your momentum going
  • An in depth pre-coaching questionnaire to get to know you and your situation before we work together 
  • Coaching notes after each session so you can track your progress and action steps.

Ever since I took up Kung Fu 3 months ago, I’ve Ever since I took up Kung Fu 3 months ago, I’ve traded my butter knife for a sword and bo staff as my weapons of choice first thing in the morning. Taking up martial arts at 40 is such a multipotentialite move but if you think it also sounds a bit “midlife crisisish”... well, you would be absolutely 100% bang on the money. This time last year I was in total crisis mode, struggling with severe pelvic pain and unable to function. The only exercise I could manage without triggering a flare up was walking. Now a year later I’m training at the Kung Fu Academy 5 hours a week and I find myself jumping out of bed in the morning to go swing my Taiji sword in the persimmon fields just for fun. So if this is what a midlife crisis feels like then bring it on, I say... 🌿⚔️ #WeaponsForBreakfast #KungFu #TaiChi #LifeCrisisInAction

✨ I snapped this pic while paying for my shoppin ✨ I snapped this pic while paying for my shopping at an unusual grocery store...✨ In August and September we spent a month housesitting in a rural area of the Central Coast where the nearest supermarket was 22kms away. The closest place to buy food was a 6kms drive where a woman affectionately referred to as “the rainbow lady” sold mostly locally grown fruit and veg at a roadside stall. Either you could swap things with your own produce or you could leave money in the letter box. It all worked on an honesty system. And if you didn’t have cash, you had to go down to the horse paddock and stand in the only square metre that had enough mobile phone reception to transfer money via internet banking while Joey the Cashier Horse watched on…#InDecemberIRemember #DecemberReflections2020 #HindsightIs2020 #Housesitting #RuralLife #CountryLife #HorsesOfInstagram #OnlineShopping #LocalSupermarket #TheMagicOfEverything #Multipotentialite #horses #horsepower #roadsidestall

Unbelievable generosity... In an interview with the ABC one woman explained the wheelbarrow campaign was all about sending love, support and gratitude to a much-loved neighbour."We say Australia is our 'Momma Country', the country that helped us to be where we are right now. Most of us benefit from Australian aid which builds health centres and hospitals, that's why we took this initiative so that we could at least do something at the community level, that's why we did this."This is how I want to remember 2020 ✨#InDecemberIRemember #DecemberReflections2020 #HindsightIs2020 #GiveHope #TheKindnessPandemic #HumansOfNewYork #PapuaNewGuinea #Vanuatu #GoodNeighbours #GivingBack #TheMagicOfEverything #Multipotentialite

✨ A WAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD AROUND M ✨ A WAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD AROUND ME ✨
When I first read today’s reflection prompt, I immediately scanned my brain for the causes I donated to or volunteered for this year. But actually I think the most important contribution I made in 2020 was helping to homeschool my niece during Australia’s lockdown via Skype. Every morning we worked through the poetry, music, reading and writing tasks set by her teacher.... and to spice things up I regularly changed my background to an image in a different city so we could chat about that country and culture and learn a bit of the language together. This photo was taken during our virtual adventure to Iran where we wrote poetry about the colour turquoise and learnt about Latin American butterflies 🦋🦋🦋 I wasn’t saving the world but I think I made it a brighter place for my niece who was missing her friends. And for my sister and her husband who were inundated with work and grateful for the help. Definitely not always easy to teach a 9 year old via web cam but these were beautiful, precious moments I spent with my niece and one of 2020’s many silver linings 🦋🦋🦋

✨ MY BIGGEST PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IN 2020 ✨I ✨ MY BIGGEST PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT IN 2020 ✨I’m pretty stoked that when I looked at this reflection prompt as part of #InDecemberIRemember I thought to myself “Fark, how do I choose one?”Six months ago I was about to undergo major surgery because I couldn’t get out of bed for days at a time, the pain was so bad. But today, I’m honestly in the best health of my life (at 40!) Since May, I’ve completely overhauled my diet and lifestyle, gave up alcohol for several months and I’ve exercised regularly for the first time since my Les Mills love affair ended 15 years ago…
I learnt to cook, cured myself of an autoimmune condition using nothing but food and helped heal several other issues with my health in the process… I’ve also developed a regular meditation practice, eliminated my reliance on prescription medication and was able to cancel the surgery because I don’t feel like I need it anymore.
And the biggest achievement is I did it without any intervention - no pills, specialists, surgery, alternative treatments, expensive supplements, oils or fancy exercise equipment. Just me, my body, my mind and food...
Which is unbelievable for me because I’d lost so much hope earlier this year. I didn’t think any of this was possible and it honestly feels like magic. Best gift I’ve ever given myself... ✨🔮
