The person behind the practice

Third-generation survivor.
And proud of it.

I'm a third-generation PMDD survivor and Australia's leading PMDD counsellor. I'm also a mum to two energetic boys, married to Tim, and we share our home with Tiff, our cuddly Dalmatian. Life here is loud, busy, and full of heart.

When I'm not supporting women through their cycles, I'm at pilates, painting to unwind, reading thrillers, or staying active with a workout or walk with Tiff.

I value balance, connection, and finding small moments of joy — even when life gets messy.

Trust me

I've been in
your shoes.

I've parented from bed because I had nothing left. I've called in sick when I wasn't physically sick but couldn't cope. I've picked fights with my husband for no real reason except that everything felt unbearable.

I've had intrusive thoughts that scared me. In my luteal phase I couldn't drive without clipping the car, couldn't send a text, and would disappear from my own life for a week every month.

I know how chaotic and lonely it feels — because I've lived it. And I also know you can pull yourself out of that spiral with the right support, tools, and structure.

The turning point

And then things
changed.

Once I was finally diagnosed, I used my training as a registered counsellor to deep-dive into the therapeutic modalities most relevant to PMDD — determined to find what truly works.

I selected the most effective strategies from DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and nervous system regulation, and built a programme that delivers real results.

It worked for me. Then it worked for over 1,000 women I've supported since.
