About
I help people connect the Heart and mind to make sense of their life and orient around what is important.
Heartfelt Coaching
Everyday I meet people in Heartfelt territory. In this space of being real, honest and vulnerable, our authentic self is revealed. I help people connect the Heart and mind to make sense of their lives, and orient around what’s important.
Connecting to our Heart is a direct route to our inner courage and power. It is also the key to authentic relationships with ourself and others. Learning to go inside for answers is the core of my practice. Going inside helps us to heal our lives.
Heart as a Bridge
Professional History
In 1983 I started studying Acupuncture - a medicine I LOVE. In 1993 I lived in a Retreat Centre in Hawaii teaching the Nature based philosophy. In that magical paradise my Heart was awakened to the BLISS, JOY and potency of inner life.
1997-2006 my focus was the Christchurch College of Holistic Healing - an Acupuncture training College NZ Qualifications registered. As part of this I was immersed in Professional Development training as a lifelong learner of Angeles Arrien, cross-cultural anthropologist - author of The Four-Fold Way
In 2005 I began travelling to China, co-hosting Yoga, Qigong Wellbeing healing retreats. These teachings are now offered in the online Heartfelt Living pathways. For 3 + decades I’ve led retreats in Hawaii, China, Bali, Australia, New Zealand.
Listening to the call of our Soul we follow the path of destiny. Hearing our Heart we attune to what is important and meaningful. Managing the practicalities of life is thinking-minds job. All 3 united - our dreams come true
Heartfelt Living
On day 1 of Acupuncture study, I discovered the Heart is the Supreme Controller of our life, which I found reassuring. It felt true. In the mid 1980’s I began chanting and meditating and chanting is my daily Heart tonic for feeling light and free.
Showing up with an open Heart opens the doorway to higher awareness. Guided by our higher seeing we can ground the hopes and dreams of our Soul into thinking, planning and actions. I call this ‘Heartfelt Living - healing as a way of being.
