Hello – I’ve become an expert at helping people break through their limiting fears and recurring self-sabotaging patterns through my own journey of creating freedom for myself. My skills and knowledge have been gained from over 25 years of exploration, learning and study driven by my own desire to have a happier and more fulfilled life. Through the process of learning for myself and then applying and teaching what I’ve learned to others I’ve developed a finely honed intuition and insightful nature which make me an exceptionally powerful catalyst for people who likewise want to express more of their potential and live happier and more fulfilled lives.
From transforming my own life I’ve learned that it’s possible to overcome many obstacles such as the conditioning I received as a child, and to create a much richer life using skills and talents I didn’t even know I possessed – it’s amazing what you can unearth! My passion now is to learn how to truly love and accept myself (our relationship with ourself is often so horribly critical) and my purpose is to be fully present and alive in the moment.
I first obtained qualifications in naturopathy, botanic medicine and clinical hypnotherapy before pursuing numerous other studies in the field of human potential -often overseas. These have included NLP, psychotherapy, counseling, native American Indian healing, psychoneuroimmunology, meditation, stress management, personal growth work and since 2001, energy psychology – which I consider has the capacity to revolutionise people’s lives and bring a freedom previously not thought of as possible. I now also study and practice the simple spiritual teachings of Eckhart Tolle which, thanks to Oprah, are helping millions of people around the world to find inner peace. Having suffered chronic anxiety, acute panic attacks and suicidal depression creating inner peace for myself ranks pretty high up on my agenda!
I challenge conventional thinking (and get un-conventional results!) and combine a down-to-earth personality with humour. I never stop learning – I think I’m a student of life for life - and love to share what I’ve learned with others, so my clients always benefit by this.
I work one-one-one with people, run workshops, write books and articles and speak to organisations and groups. Feedback tells me I’m a thought-provoking yet entertaining speaker and trainer and I became an Accredited Speaking Member of the National Speakers Association of Australia in 2002. I work in person in Sydney, Australia - and over the phone anywhere in the world, and thanks to modern technology the phone calls are free.
I also work as a facilitator with the Pathways Foundation
(www.pathwaysfoundation.com.au) who run powerful Rites of Passage programmes for teenagers and their families, and am very involved on the committee of Communities for Communities (www.communitiesforcommunities.com.au). We hold community events which raise money to support other communities. At present we are building homes for people who live on rubbish tips in the Philippines and Vietnam.
I’d love to be of service to you – I want you to feel great about yourself, able to shine by expressing yourself creatively in the world while feeling peaceful and fulfilled. So contact me

Margaret, you have a gift for helping others discover and root out the deep seated beliefs and fears which are holding them back from achieving their own joy and potential in life. I was fascinated watching you work - how you draw the truth from deep inside people, beliefs that they didn't know they held. People cry, and then they laugh, and they know they've been liberated."
