A gentle invitation to connect.
The complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call is simply an opportunity for us to meet and have an initial conversation about what is bringing you here.
You are welcome to share a little about what you are moving through, what you are seeking, and the kind of support you feel you may need. I can answer any questions you have about the 6-week journey and how I work.
Most importantly, it gives us both an opportunity to sense whether working together feels like the right fit.
There is no expectation or obligation to continue — just a welcoming, confidential conversation and a place to begin.
Come as you are. You are warmly welcome.

There are times in life when we find ourselves standing at a threshold — when something has changed, something has ended, or we simply know we cannot continue in quite the same way.
AWAKEN | Wisdom at the Threshold offers a gentle, deeply personal 6-week journey for those moving through grief, loss, life transition, or a time of inner change.

This is an invitation to pause.
To be heard.
To explore what is unfolding.
And, in your own time, to reconnect with the wisdom already within you.

If you feel drawn to this work, I warmly invite you to book a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call. There is no obligation — simply an opportunity for us to meet, talk about where you are, and discover whether this journey feels right for you.
In-person appointments are currently available on Thursdays in Hobart.

“The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning.”

“There is no world!”

“There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly.”

— A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 132

AWAKEN | Wisdom at the Threshold

Sometimes the answer is not to do more.
It is to become still.

Meditation invites us into that stillness.

A turning inward.
A softening of the mind.
A moment beyond the noise of thought,
where something quieter can be heard.

When life brings us to a threshold —
through grief, loss, change, illness, death or a new beginning —
we can so easily look outside ourselves for answers.

What should I do?
Where do I go from here?
Who am I now?

But what if, beneath the questions,
there is already a knowing?

Meditation gives us a way to listen.

Not to escape what is happening,
but to become present enough to meet it.

To sit with what is here.
To breathe into what feels difficult.
To make space for what is unfolding.
To listen for the wisdom within.

Sometimes we don't need to be told what comes next.

We need a quiet place
where we can hear ourselves again.

This is the invitation of Awaken.

A sacred pause.
A turning inward.
A remembering of what we already know.

AWAKEN | Wisdom at the Threshold

Grief • Loss • Life Transitions • Death & End-of-Life

An unfolding expression of Awaken Meditation Retreats

I’m pleased to share AWAKEN | Wisdom at the Threshold — an extension of my work offering individual support for people navigating some of life’s more difficult and meaningful transitions.

There are times when life changes in ways that leave us uncertain about what comes next.

Grief.
Loss.
A significant life transition.
A changing sense of identity.
The experience of accompanying someone towards death.

Awaken offers a compassionate space to pause, reflect and be supported through these times of change.

Individual Sessions

Sessions are shaped around the person and the moment, rather than following a prescribed formula. Depending on what feels appropriate, we may draw on reflective conversation, meditation and mindfulness, nature, ritual, essential oils and other gentle practices that support presence, reflection and connection.

Grief & Loss
Support for those living with grief, bereavement and the many forms of loss that can accompany change.

Life Transitions
A space to pause and reflect during significant life changes — to explore what is shifting, what may be ready to be released, and what is emerging.

Death & End-of-Life
Support for those approaching death, accompanying someone who is dying, or wanting to explore death and dying with greater awareness, presence and meaning.

My work has been shaped by almost 20 years within emergency services, alongside many years working with meditation, mindfulness and wellbeing through Awaken Meditation Retreats. Over time, this work has naturally expanded to include grief, loss, life transitions and end-of-life support.

Awaken is intended to complement (not replace) clinical, medical, psychological or specialist care.

I welcome conversations with practitioners who may have clients or patients who would benefit from this kind of complementary support.

You don't have to navigate these moments alone.

Awaken | Wisdom at the Threshold offers gentle one-to-one support for people moving through grief, loss and life's significant transitions — creating space to pause, listen deeply, make meaning and find a way forward.

Meditation is more than a practice
It is a sacred remembering.
In the stillness, beyond the noise of thought and the pull of the outer world, there is a space within you that is eternal, wise, and whole. This is your divine essence — the part of you that is always connected to Source, to Spirit, to the infinite intelligence of the universe.
Meditation is the doorway back to that space.
Each breath, each moment of presence, gently dissolves the layers of doubt, fear, and separation — revealing the light of truth that has always been within you. It’s not about silencing your mind perfectly, but about softening into awareness and opening to the deeper current that runs beneath the surface.
In this space, you begin to feel your connection — not just to yourself, but to all things.
To the rhythm of the Earth, the whisper of your soul, and the loving presence of Spirit that is always guiding you. Here, answers arise not from logic, but from inner knowing. Peace is no longer a concept, but an embodied experience. Love is not something you chase — it is what you are.
Meditation invites you to remember who you truly are: a radiant expression of the Divine.

Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a human experience to be honoured.

Loss can change how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can challenge our sense of identity, belonging, purpose, and hope. Yet within grief there can also be opportunities for connection, meaning, compassion, and growth.

Nature reminds us that all life exists within cycles of change. Through the seasons we witness endings, beginnings, decay, renewal, and transformation. This program invites participants to explore their own journey through grief alongside these natural rhythms.

Together we create a compassionate space where grief is welcomed, stories are honoured, and healing is supported through mindfulness, reflection, community, and connection with the natural world.

The Wisdom of Scent

There are moments in life when words are not what we need.

Sometimes we need to pause.
To breathe.
To come back into the present moment.

As I continue to evolve my work through Awaken Meditation Retreats, I am beginning to weave the profound world of essential oils into my practice.

For me, essential oils are not simply about fragrance. They offer an invitation to slow down and become present — to connect with the subtle language of the body, the senses and the natural world.

There is something deeply ritualistic about scent.

A drop of oil.
A breath.
A moment of stillness.

And within that pause, we create space to listen — to what the body is holding, to what the heart may be asking, and to the wisdom that can emerge when we stop rushing to find the answers.

I see this as another way of creating sacred space for awakening — particularly during times of change, grief, uncertainty and life's great thresholds.

The plants have their own wisdom.

Our invitation is simply to become quiet enough to receive it.
