With the heart of a yogi and the soul of a storyteller, my passion lies in creating experiences that connect, inspire, challenge and, wherever possible, make people laugh.
Throughout my career, whether I've been writing theatre, creating television, teaching yoga, exploring ideas through books or working with leaders in organisations, I've been fascinated by what makes us human. The stories we tell ourselves and each other, the patterns we develop, the ways we navigate change and our capacity to grow, adapt and see things differently.
I believe creativity is not just the domain of artists. It's a fundamental human capacity that allows us to imagine new possibilities, solve problems, challenge assumptions and connect with others. Whether we're creating a piece of theatre, developing a new idea or navigating a difficult conversation, curiosity, courage and a willingness to explore the unknown are essential.
My study and practice of yoga and mindfulness have profoundly influenced the way I approach both life and work. The ancient philosophical teachings offer practical insights into the very modern challenges of being human, from managing uncertainty and navigating relationships to finding greater awareness, acceptance and purpose. I'm passionate about making these ideas accessible and relevant, without losing the depth and wisdom of the traditions from which they come.
I also believe in the power of bringing people together. Some of the most meaningful work I've been part of has emerged through collaboration, listening to different perspectives and creating environments where people feel safe enough to contribute, experiment and sometimes get things wrong.
At the heart of everything I do is a belief in our capacity to keep learning, changing and growing, whatever stage of life we're in. I love the conscious act of making, the joy of shared experiences and the possibility that a new perspective, a good story or a moment of genuine connection can shift something in us.
And while I take the work seriously, I try not to take myself too seriously. There's usually room for a little more play.
Stepping onto the yoga mat for the first time felt like coming home.
While studying Economics at Sydney University, and grappling with some teenage anxiety, a psychologist gave me a collection of books about Buddhism and yoga philosophy. And just like that, something clicked. These ancient teachings offered a way of understanding the world, and myself, that made sense.
As a former national-level rhythmic gymnast, I've always loved movement. I began practising yoga with an Iyengar teacher, before discovering Ashtanga and eventually training at the Jivamukti School in New York. With its foundations in ahimsa (non-harming), shastra (study of the texts) and bhakti (devotion), Jivamukti brought together the physical, philosophical and spiritual elements of yoga in a way that resonated deeply with me.
More than two decades later, yoga philosophy remains one of my greatest passions. I love weaving it into physical practice, teaching it in workshops and immersions, and exploring how these ancient ideas can help us navigate our very modern, often complicated lives.
For me, yoga has never been simply about what happens on the mat. It's about how we live, how we relate to others and how we find a little more awareness, compassion and joy along the way.
