I know what you’re thinking: “Not another heavy, awkward wellbeing talk…”
And I get it—because the last thing most young people want is to sit through a dry, content-heavy session about mental health, delivered in a way that feels removed from their reality.
That’s not what I do.
My sessions are designed to be real, relatable, funny, interactive, inspiring—and above all, useful. I meet students where they are. I speak to them, not at them. And together, we create an experience they actually enjoy and remember.
The moment they walk in, the energy is different.
Music is playing, the room feels relaxed and welcoming, and before they know it, we’re talking openly about the stuff that matters—self-worth, body image, mental health, resilience, friendships, pressure, comparison, and how to actually take care of themselves (and each other) in a world that feels a little overwhelming sometimes.
I don’t sugarcoat.
I speak from lived experience, with empathy and humour. I name the real things our young people are facing, and I offer practical tools to help them navigate life with more self-awareness, kindness, and hope.
If the session doesn’t hit the mark? You don’t pay.
That’s how committed I am to ensuring my sessions are engaging, uplifting, and valuable.
What I Offer for Schools
I work with primary and secondary schools across Australia to deliver tailored, dynamic sessions for:
- Year 3–12 presentations that address the most relevant and pressing topics for each age group.
- Whole-school assemblies or graduation keynotes that inspire reflection, growth, and hope.
- Parent & caregiver evenings, where I share tools and insights to support their young people with confidence and compassion.
- Staff PD days, combining professional learning with personal insight and support.
- MC roles for school events, celebrations, and formal functions.
Whether it’s a single presentation, a series of workshops, or a whole-of-community approach—I work collaboratively with your team to create something meaningful, engaging, and aligned to your needs.
Why It Works
I’ve spent over a decade working with teens, teachers, parents, and psychologists across Australia. I bring both personal experience—having walked through my own challenges with anorexia, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation—and professional expertise, with over 15 years in the wellbeing, coaching, and mental health space.
But what sets my sessions apart isn’t just the content—it’s the connection.
I bring honesty, humour, warmth, and practical wisdom into every room I step into.
I share real stories, real tools, and real hope.
And the feedback speaks for itself.
