Coach of the crossroads
I am a microcosm of all the possible justice, liberation, pleasure and honesty in the universe, and I act accordingly.

Bio
Gutsy for Life. Mama. Biracial. Bisexual. Artist. Writer. Conscious Leader. Holistic Coach. Earthshaker.
Not for the faint of heart, my work dives deep into social justice, spirituality and personal sovereignty.
I have a wealth of knowledge and learning gained from trauma, transition and personal transformation.
I am a gutsy coach, leader, artist, speaker and writer.
- I work as a consultant and coach to clients in the spiritual, coaching, creative and wellness industries on anti-oppression, personal empowerment & conscious business strategy supporting them to cultivate an anti-racist identity and to create inclusive spaces for people of colour and marginalised identities.
- I created Formidable Voices, an events, membership, community and coaching platform to uplift Womxn of Colour coaches, creatives and entrepreneurs to speak their truth, take up space, value their superpowers and leave a meaningful legacy that sustains them.
- I compiled the Reading and Resources for Activists list, an extensive resource of social justice writings, tools and education (now only available to clients, patrons and my students).
- I disrupt spiritual and entrepreneurial spaces with my#dearselfstyledguru letters and #gutsyrealtalk series calling for better representation, equity and inclusion for Black, Indigenous and Womxn of Colour and speaking out on whitewashed spiritual practices and spaces.
- I teach people through my anti-oppression workshops and programs, Unpack Your Privilege and Gut Instinct combining combine soul, sensitivity, strategy and social justice.
I have a wealth of knowledge and learning gained from trauma, transition and personal transformation.
I am a gutsy coach, leader, artist, speaker and writer.
I believe that glass ceilings were made to be shattered and that it is up to each and every one of us to disrupt and dismantle the systems of oppression that seek to hold us and our fellow humans hostage from equity, inclusion, freedom and liberation.
The tip of the iceberg...
I am an eternal student in the areas of social justice, social change, metaphysics, energy work, creative healing arts, priestessing, coaching, holistic counselling, systemic constellations, youth mentoring, emotional intelligence, intersectionality, identity, social change, ancestral healing, akashic records and trauma-informed practices.
I have qualifications in Indonesian Language & Culture, Youth Mentoring, Business Studies and Advertising. During 2018-2020 I'm completing qualifications in life coaching with Beautiful You Coaching Academy, Holistic Counselling and Systemic Constellations Facilitator Training with The Awakening Group. I bring together 23 years of corporate experience & professional development in advertising, publishing and communications, people management, legal writing & research and contracts law management across engineering, shipbuilding and defence environments integrated with 9 years of personal growth, writing and speaking, priestessing skills, energy medicine and conscious business.
My work is about going deep into the shadows, remembering and reclaiming wholeness through sovereign and gutsy soul work and taking people on soul journeys to their real and raw truth.
Seeing, reading and personally experiencing the pain of racism and trauma means that I know with depth, breadth and knowledge, the resilience, tenacity and inner strength it takes to unearth, go the distance and navigate the road ahead.
My style is mentoring and facilitating. I am a gatekeeper of crossroad journeys with a wealth of knowledge and learning gained from lived experiences and many times of transition and transformation throughout my life.
What I know is that some stories have to die in order for new ones to be birthed. It’s up to us to shed our skin and renew ourselves.
I have discovered that my gifts are about lighting the way and guiding others so they can live their lives on purpose. I help people find their path, their truth and themselves and most importantly, liberation through self-expression, self-awareness and self-trust.
Gutsy Girl began in 2012. Since 2015 I have facilitated as a Coach of the crossroads, Guide and sacred space holder for womxn.
I write my truth and share personal stories and poetry for my exclusive community on Patreon.
I believe in sovereignty and being an active participant in life, no matter what.

Who I am...
I am a biracial, first generation Australian born woman and mother and I stand for inclusivity, fierce self-compassion, kindness and conscious leadership. I'm bisexual (*waves at LGBTQIA folks*). My pronouns are she/her.
My roots are Chinese Indonesian and Irish. My parents migrated to Australia from their respective countries in the 1960’s (Dad) and 1970’s (Mum, after the abolition of the White Australia Policy) working in an array of jobs, on sheep and cattle stations, in manufacturing and aged care. They worked hard to create a life for the three of us.
I believe in social justice and supporting enterprises providing services to people in need. I support social enterprises and not for profit organisations that provide aid to asylum seekers and Indigenous literacy and education.

Diving deeper...
My lived experiences of physical and sexual assault, bullying & racism throughout my entire schooling experience, bullying in the workplace and online, post natal depression, anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD, I have thrived and developed the resilience, sensitivity and compassion to be a guide, gatekeeper, advocate and speaker of truth for others who have lived through these too.
As a multi-passionate person with a thirst for knowledge, I have studied creative writing, advertising, legal, justice and business studies, contracts law, visual and creative arts, goldsmithing, Reiki, energy anatomy and energy medicine, intuition, workshop facilitation skills, metaphysics, breathwork, mindfulness, Indonesian Language & Culture (while living in my mother's homeland Java, Indonesia), youth mentoring, women's leadership and 9 years of priestess studies and spiritual leadership.
I am a Scorpio Sun and Cancer Rising, Fire Dragon in Chinese Astrology (and come from a maternal line of Tigers, Dragons and Snakes), Enneagram 4, Human Design 2/5 and an INFJ. Born during a Dark Moon, my approach is highly intuitive and instinctual. I combine my superpowers with my understanding and knowing of being at the threshold of new beginnings, crossroads and transitions. I am a pathfinder working in the shadows to empower others to bravely transform, reveal, unravel and source their creative power and potential.

The sacred land I live on...
I reside on the stolen lands of the Turrbal people, the Aboriginal Nation in Brisbane, Queensland. Residing between two mountains on the outskirts of the city, I connect with nature daily and am surrounded by trees and bird life.
