About

I am passionate about creating regenerative cultures that foster individual and collective flourishing.

As a Possibility Management trainer and coach I have learned (and am continually learning) how to feel, how to consciously access the power of anger, sadness, fear and joy.

In the society and the family I grew up in, feelings were not okay. I learned to mix emotions into depression, isolation, shame and despair to prevent my feelings being expressed. I learned to tell myself that being a grown up means being calm and comforting. I learned to hold space for other people's feelings without allowing my own feelings to surface. I learned that being responsible means swallowing my anger, avoiding my fear and holding back my sadness.

Now I am taking a stand for a different story. Now I choose to view responsibility as the ability to respond, to be present to the feelings that arise in myself and the people around me. I am learning to express my feelings and use them to consciously navigate my life, to allow the fullest expression of my being to come forward.

Possibility Management has given me the tools to see and change the stories and survival patterns that stop my feelings from serving me. Now I train others to connect with the power of their conscious feelings.
