I love coaching people towards excellence in sport and life. At 58 I still love the thrill of competition, and I love the thrill of seeing clients compete at their best. My job is to increase their best. I also love coaching clients towards a more peaceful, balanced life, during and after their sporting careers.

I spent my sporting years competing in soccer, rugby league, surfboat rowing, indoor cricket, and golf. Of course, as a kid, teenager, and grown-up in Australia, we can always add every other sport known to man to the list if we count backyards, swimming pools, and table tennis tables.. Whether playing a rugby league grand final, or challenging my dad to table tennis, competing is competing, and I always did my best.

Today I still play golf, to a handicap that hangs around 1 or 2. While this is considered good, golf handicaps are relative things, and when playing off 1, I’m looking for improvements to get down to zero or a plus handicap. In my 20’s and 30’s I had no mental game, no short game, and not much putting skill, and never practiced. Yet I would get frustrated that the game wasn’t going my way, and a poor round would cost me any enjoyment the rest of the day.

My expectations and assumptions far exceeded my skills and levels of perseverance. This threw off any chance of holding a balanced mental and emotional state, which then made sure I wouldn’t be able to improve, hence I drove my own whirlpool of frustration because of my limiting beliefs, my assumptions and expectations, my ego, and my lack of structure for practice.

These behavioural issues extended beyond golf into other sports and into my life. Golf was merely the representation of how I viewed the world. In 2003 I began studying Lifestyle Coaching under the guidance of Paul Chek, a US Holistic Health Practitioner. Over the following 7 years I became qualified as a Level 2 Holistic Lifestyle Coach; a Level 2 Chek Practitioner; a Chek Golf Biomechanic; and  Level 1 FMA Strength Trainer. Since then I have used all these skills, plus the counselling and energy work to help clients free themselves mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually to perform at a higher level or simply enjoy their lives more. 

Combining my studies and client work with my life experiences and personal growth, I worked on my head and learned about my emotions and how they relate to the results I so desperately wanted in the first place. Of course in hindsight I would love to have listened to would-be mentors and coaches back when I was still growing up, and even into my 30’s.

However, now I use my own experiences, from the hard lessons to the challenges the mind demands to the thrill of staying calm, relaxed, and focussed in the competitive arena, to help guide and assist clients to better their perceived best, find balance, stay present, and have a beautiful life.

I look forward to working with you!
