After being a Psychophonetics practitioner since the mid 1990s and training students and supervising practitioners, as well as completing a PHD thesis and having a book on Psychophonetics published in 2011, I have now retired from private practice.

Background

My experience over the years includes being a mother, grandmother, teacher, educator and counsellor/psychotherapist working with people of all ages.

For 21 years I worked as an early childhood teacher, and as a supervisor of teacher trainees at University and Tafe. I incorporated counselling into my teaching by training as an Adlerian counsellor and parent educator in the late 1980s.

In the early 1990s I completed further training as a Psychophonetics practitioner and for several years practiced at the Melbourne Therapy Centre, and at the Clayton Whole Health and Medical Clinic.  

Alongside counselling, I also worked for several years as the college coordinator/vice-principal, teacher and supervisor in the Advanced Diploma counselling courses at Persephone College in Melbourne, as well as doing other contract teaching and welfare work in a number of other organisations.

I lived in WA for some years and in 2005 completed a PhD research thesis on the holistic nature of change and transformation through Psychophonetics psychotherapy, based on clients' experience of change.

I am interested in the process of transformation through personal and spiritual development that is heart based, includes the 'I am' presence of each person, and consciously incorporates the support of the spiritual world. I participate in a number of spiritual groups which are developing these ways of being and working, not only at an individual level but also for healing the earth and beyond.

I also enjoy writing and being a grandmother.

In 2011 my book was published: "Psychophonetics Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy: Stories & Insights from Practice"

I found the experience of walking the labyrinth at Chartres cathedral to be a profoundly transformative experience.

Each year a group of people from Wisdom University gather there to explore one of the seven liberal arts, to deepen their connections as a community and as an evolving modern mystery school - as a 'New Chartres school'.
