Where science, soul, and story meet.
When I speak, I don’t deliver “inspiration” that disappears when the applause fades.
I create spaces that shift how people feel in their bodies, think in their minds, and move in their lives.
For over 20 years, I’ve walked alongside CEOs, olympic athletes, frontline leaders, creatives, carers, students, mothers, fathers and community builders.
And I’ve learnt this:
lasting change doesn’t come from more information.
It comes from nervous-system-first transformation.
That’s what I bring,
whether I’m speaking at a high school,
a grassroots mental health group,
a not-for-profit boardroom,
or on the stage of a global leadership conference.
What I Speak About
My talks weave together psychology, nervous system science, and lived human experience, delivered with honesty, warmth, and wit.
Popular keynote themes include:
-
A nervous-system-first framework for leadership, growth, and living aligned.
-
How being different, divergent, and “not fitting the mould” is your greatest strength.
-
What it really means to live, lead, and show up with courage (and why it’s worth it).
-
Why resilience isn’t about pushing through, but learning to reset.
-
Moving beyond burnout into sustainable impact.
-
Practical tools for creating calm, clarity, and confidence in chaotic.
The Experience
I don’t “speak at” audiences. I meet them where they are.
Expect sessions that are:
✔ Relatable: Grassroots to global, I speak human first.
✔ Practical: Real-world tools that can be used straight away.
✔ Transformative: Creating shifts that ripple long after the event.
Organisers often tell me my sessions are
“the one that people remember”
the talk that stays with them weeks, months, even years later.
