Guiding you to your new destination

Born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand , after completing my masters degree I travelled through the America's, Europe and Asia before returning to Auckland. Joining police in 1995 I worked in a series of positions all with a 'people' focus. After becoming a crisis negotiator I realised that my skills could be used for wider benefit so gained qualifications in mediation and coaching. 

I love being on the water. I'm a commercially qualified skipper and  explored the Pacific Islands in my yacht learning more about myself in the ocean passages.  

​

I have managed to have my share of separations and divorces - but unlike most other separation and divorce coaches mine have not been messy and emotionally challenging. Rather, because of the skills and techniques that I want to share, they all ended up being amicable with both sides still being able to talk.  

My outlook is that life is too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. I am here to help my clients achieve a more positive outlook on life, and provide them with all the tools necessary to get them there. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals.

​

I'm a member of AMINZ - the professional body for mediators in NZ and  The Resolution Institute (RI),  the Australasian  professional body for dispute resolution professionals and comply with both of their code of ethics. I have specialised divorce and separation certification from  DCA, supported by my ICF  coach qualification.  Be reassured that I have the life skills and professional training to help you in your journey.
