I am a former high school teacher who took a career side jump to youth health work before retraining as a social worker. Along the way I met Motivational Interviewing, and thought “Wow MI. Wish I’d met you earlier”. I have a definite creative tilt, and a curiosity about different applications of MI. Most of my training was completed interstate, and I really wanted to provide options based in Tasmania.

I offer highly experiential online MI training to small groups of health practitioners working across the spectrum of health care. MI has been the life force of my (30+ year) clinical & supervision practice and I have had the joy of teaching MI since 2015. I am a dual qualified Counsellor (PACFA Reg Clinical), PACFA Certified Supervisor and Accredited Practising Dietitian in private practice. One of the guiding principles in my work is:‘Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do'. Rumi.
