What makes me a good Facilitator and Coach?
Surely that’s what you really want to know.

I listen with my head and my heart.

I see the potential and inherent strengths in people even if they are unable to see them in themselves.

With kindness I gently direct clients to areas of their life that require attention.

I create a safe environment.

On average ORA clients accomplish 80% of their annual goals.

You may think I should give a list of all my accomplishments and there are some noteworthy ones!

Such as at the age of 17 being selected to be an exchange student and leaving rural New Zealand to live in the States for a year. Obtaining my degree in Economics and Sociology. At the age of 28 I was appointed a director of a medium sized business and the Managing Director at 33. I was Chairperson of the Board of Trustees at a private school for 4 years and have invested many hours learning from different modalities.

What really stands out for me however when I review my life is everything that I have been able to overcome and transform; Being adopted & all the maze of complexities around identity that comes with that, moving countries, divorce, a business liquidation, depression, Bell’s Palsy, letting go of the family home of 19 years and starting again with my 2 daughters.

I can say with complete clarity and confidence I have not only grown through all the adversity, but I have transformed my life for the better and even flourished. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has all been worthwhile.

It is with huge empathy, understanding and insight I am able to assist others to live their best life both personally and professionally.
