Eat, Pray, Woo-Woo — The Real Story
From sensible social worker… to national voice in intuitive counselling.
Once upon a time, I was a very sensible professional. Lanyard on. Cardigan buttoned. Spreadsheets, funding applications, and strategic plans always on hand. Tea always strong.
But under all the pressure of service delivery and systems that never quite worked, a quiet question started to echo:
What supports us when the system doesn’t?
(We never talked about this in PDs. It’s not in the Code of Ethics. But it mattered.)
So I did what any sensible woman might do.
I went rogue. Right?
Not rogue-rogue — just… curious.
Double life? You bet.
By day, I was a social worker, counsellor, educator, board director and leader, running programs, mentoring teams, sitting on boards.
By night, I was an intuitive explorer — cards, candles, rituals, symbolism… you name it.
I went looking — not to replace evidence-based practice, but to complement it.
I explored intuitive tools, not for clients, but for myself. I studied ancient wisdoms, symbolism, cycles, somatic methods.
I travelled. I trained. I gathered stories, tools, and insight from places most professionals don’t go — at least not with a name badge on.
I lit the candles. I joined the circles. I burned the incense (and once, almost my eyebrows).
Some of it was profound. Some of it… makes a great dinner story.
But I stayed grounded. I stayed reflective. And I got really, really good at what I did. And then? It took centre stage.
So good, in fact, that the double life became my full-time reality — for a little while.
But I always knew it wasn’t forever — just a very sparkly detour.
And that’s how I became The Psychic Counsellor™.
A national voice in intuitive practice, blending symbolism and psychology. I didn't just work behind closed doors—I took therapy and intuition to the stage, the airwaves and the community. I showed up with lived experience, clinical training and intuition wisdom to help people reclaim their truth, their voice and their inner wisdom.
I supported thousands through, National speaking tours; Media appearances; Masterclasses & workshops; 1:1 client sessions across Australia
And now?
Well, my pilgrimage in the woo world has ended. I’m back with the muggles — older, wiser and with a better incense detector.
No spotlight. No sequins. No show. Just grounded, practical wisdom… and a deep knowing of teaching what works.
I’ve done the hard (sometimes hilarious) work for you — so you don’t have to go full undercover just to explore your own intuition.
Well… unless you want to.
