About Me
I’ve spent thirty years as a professional actor, having performed in hit Australian films and television including Muriel’s Wedding, The Dish, The Librarians, ten seasons of Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell, Bay of Fires and Jack Irish, together with stage productions for all the major state theatre companies and international tours of my one woman shows – so I know what it feels like to face the camera, step onto stage or wait in the wings with your heart pounding.
I’ve navigated countless auditions, opening nights and high-pressure performances – and I’ve experienced the anxiety that can come with all of it.
After over ten years as a yoga teacher (trained in India, Australia and Bali) and discovering the transformative power of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), I found what actually works for performance anxiety. Not just breathing through it or “thinking positive” – but releasing the fear at its root.
Now as a certified EFT practitioner, I combine my lived experiences as a performer with proven mind-body techniques to help others move from panic to presence. Whether you’re facing an audition, giving a corporate presentation, delivering a wedding speech or simply want to stop dreading speaking up in meetings – I understand your world because I’ve lived it for three decades.
25+ Years on Stage & Screen
From award-winning television to national theatre productions, my career has taught me everything about managing performance anxiety—from the inside.

What is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called “tapping”, is a gentle but powerful technique that combines elements of ancient acupressure with modern psychology. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on the anxiety, we can release the emotional charge and calm your nervous system.
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science
Combines elements of ancient acupressure with modern psychology
Practical & Physical
It's not talk therapy – it's hands-on and action-oriented.
Surprisingly Fast
Most clients feel a noticeable shift within just one or two sessions.
Sessions are online via Zoom – convenient and effective from anywhere.
Talk About Your Situation
We’ll start by talking about your specific situation: What triggers your anxiety? When does it show up? How does it affect your performance or ability to speak up?
Guided EFT Tapping
I’ll guide you through EFT tapping sequences while we work on the specific fears, memories and physical sensations that fuel your nerves. You might be surprised how quickly your body responds.
Workshop Your Content
If you’re working on a presentation or a speech specifically – we can workshop ideas, rehearse and get you ready for the big event.
Take-Home Techniques
You’ll leave with techniques you can use independently – backstage, before meetings, in the car before an interview, whenever you need them.
