About

I am in for deeper level thinking, looking beyond the usual. Every challenge has a message. I am an open spirit, inquisitive, resourceful, nimble and energetic, possibly a bit wild but always mild. I do not pretend to have the answers to every problem. However, as an explorer, I have the nerve, skills and tools to help you find a path and move forward.

A detailed CV can be found on LinkedIn.

I completed Fundamentals I and II in Systemic Coaching & Constellations (John Whittington, London) and I am currently on a pathway to becoming a Practioner.

Why Sugarloaf?

Change is the very essence of life. Organisations are living systems constantly moving and looking for a new balance. At times this is quite challenging. It takes courage, vision and above all a capacity to flow with a situation rather than force things to happen.

Sugarloaf, a rock in the Indian ocean off the coast of Western Australia, symbolizes that. The water is swirling, energizing, always fresh and new. It inspires. It makes one wonder what is beyond the horizon. The rock is weathered by many storms but it still stands strong. It represents experience, a solid base to venture from.

Sugarloaf is my family’s ‘finisterra’.

“The place where the ground turns to ocean. The place where your present turns into your future”.

— David Whyte
