I am the founder of Pure Consciousness Meditation for Resilience which specializes in emotional support education. I am an educator and meditation mentor with over 30 years of experience. I have taught in a range of education contexts from Domestic Violence Refuges, facilitating for Non-Profit Group CLAN, facilitating meditation in corporate environments, co-facilitated with Dr Simon Martin and Tobias Penno in Heartschool, to teaching kindergarten, high school students and adults with formal qualifications held in education, psychology and business attained at Murdoch and Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
My greatest education and steepest learning curve that made me understand the 'adaptive capacity', that meditation as a skill provides, derived from my lived experience of disability and death and a visit to Egypt back in the year 2000. It was this that inspired the healing modality that is Pure Consciousness which has been formally in operation since 2009. My business was born, the year my husband had a motorbike land on his chest.
I was born in Perth, Western Australia and have taught mindfulness meditation to both adults and children for the past 30 years. My mother was a Burmese Refuge and arrived in Perth Western Australia in 1964. My own curiousity and lived experience of surviving my husband's suicide, has enhanced my compassion, awareness and understanding of human behaviour patterns and increased my desire to help others achieve greater meaning and purpose in their life. I understand too well, when faced with the extremes of life and death, how difficult it can be to regain your balance, adapt and shift your perspective. We are complexed beings each with a story to tell but we are so much more than that...
Pure Consciousness Meditations facilitates education and skills that help you move beyond the story that repeats in your thinking mind, to manage your energy and focus your attention. PCM sessions are designed to build capacity of individuals to deal with increasingly complex social, emotional, technological environments that are enduring rapid change.
My passion is to empower you to experience the relaxation response as a starting point and then to educate you to, realise your own infinite potential as a human being and to return you to the intuitive state of balance.
I believe that the right people show up in the right place at the right time. In every challenge life presents, we are being beckoned to grow and expand beyond whatever we previously thought was possible. Our challenges can represent the times of greatest growth and learning.
Life has within it cycles and patterns of rebirth and all life energy moves through us in waves. Accepting not knowing and developing safety from within is the gift of Pure Consciousness Meditations.
The primary drivers of this state are passion and compassion to know and self-regulate oneself. Pure Consciousness Meditations for Resilience creates space for the new to enter and the old to be released. The deepest insights and wisdoms come from your core alignments when you drop out of your head into your body. Pure Consciousness sessions are tailored to the individual and groups and involve a variety of techniques including breathwork, energy work, sound healing and movement. These techniques assist to strengthen the spirit, reset your nervous system and engage the relaxation response
This is the opposite to the coping strategies that we often inherit from our culture and family environment. That being suppression and/or repression of emotion. I specialise in assisting those at the very beginning of their meditative journeys, and accelerate those who have become stuck facilitating their progression through the body’s insights in their own journeys of growth, expansion and self awareness.

My Philosophy
Love yourself enough to dream and make peace with your mistakes.
Trust your learning curve and your heart.
Understand what you love and value, distinguish between people and things.
Look within. Trying to control your external environment is unproductive when it comes to making peace with yourself and others.
Sometimes things have to fall apart before they can come back together.
Question.
Love and life is both the support and the challenge...
To accept this, allows obstacles to transform into steppingstones.
Give thanks for the people who want to share in your life.
Trust we are all doing the best we can with what we know.
Meditation is the opportunity to lean into to the tough experiences
and process the obstacles to better direct our flow.
