My Why
What drives me to share my knowledge is that I’ve lived both sides of high performance — success on the outside, and anxiety, panic attacks, and addiction on the inside. After 26 years in the high-pressure world of financial trading, I learned firsthand that achievement means nothing if it costs your health, relationships, and peace of mind.
Meditation and nervous system regulation transformed my life, not just by improving my performance, but by helping me heal and reconnect with purpose. That’s why I’m passionate about speaking an coaching: to give leaders and teams practical tools to stay calm under pressure, prevent burnout, and access clarity, resilience, and flow — so they can succeed without suffering.
My Accomplishments
I’m proud of a journey that combines high performance, personal transformation, and meaningful impact. After 26 years in global financial markets, I transitioned into teaching meditation and nervous system mastery to help people thrive under pressure without burnout.
A major milestone for me was producing The Portal documentary film — a project deeply connected to my purpose. The film went on to become one of the longest-running documentary films in Sydney cinemas.
I’ve also had the privilege of working with three Fortune 100 companies, including Amazon, Oracle, and Coca-Cola, published six books, and spoken to audiences of thousands — including presenting in front of 5,000 people in Sydney and Melbourne alongside Jane Fonda.
And finally, my ultimate proudest accomplishment has been raising two incredible human beings in my children, Taj and Lauren.
