It’s not your usual coach story…
You know the one, where I hated public speaking but overcame my fears and now I’m here to help you do it too.
The reality is, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love speaking - and I have a shedload of experience both doing it and coaching others.
That doesn’t mean I don’t get nervous.
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had major flops.
That doesn’t mean I only get nice comments on social media.
It means I know my craft inside out and understand exactly how to help you find your authentic voice, write killer content and get your message out there!

Experience
20+ years coaching experience (since founding a Speech & Drama studio at the age of 16).
8+ years as a TV + Radio News Reporter for major networks.
4+ years as Acting Spokesperson for one of Australia’s largest water companies.
With my love of speaking and storytelling it’s no surprise I became a TV News Journalist - reporting for Australia’s biggest networks including Ten, Seven and the ABC.
In my late 20’s I crossed to the other side of the media mic and acted as spokesperson for a major water company (yes, I was the glamour girl for things you should and shouldn’t flush). On the side, I always coached kids and other journalists on how to use their voice and speak with confidence.
In 2018, I decided to leave my PR job to take this expertise full time.
Feedback includes ‘blew my mind’ and ‘this program was life changing.’
I can honestly say I’ve never experienced such heartfelt, spontaneous and consistent positive feedback for any professional development program in my career.”
Tony Schreiber, Orrcon Steel

Whether it be on stage, online, on a podcast, on the Tedx circle or in the media spotlight - I’m the secret weapon aka Throat Chakra Whisperer helping people shine.
PS - The chakras are your energetic centres and your voice affects them all and vice versa!

When I’m not guiding a speaking breakthrough, I like to experience my own personal ones.
As an auditory voice coach, my biggest challenge to-date was a 10-day Vipassana Silent Meditation Course in the UK.
My proudest moment was getting to the peak of a snow-covered mountain at -8°C wearing nothing but my leopard-print active wear. It was part of a WimHof method expedition and yes that smile is genuine!
If I’m going to encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, it’s only fair I keep doing the same!
I live in Brisbane with my amazing man Patrick.
Our claim-to-fame is featuring on the front page of the Hobart Mercury butt-naked after the Winter Solstice Nudie Swim. (It’s a bit much for the internet, so here’s a pic of us in our favourite city San Sebastián, Spain).
Patrick also has a pretty cool business (spytime.com.au).
My hobbies include jigsaw puzzles, pilates and gaming the frequent flyer program. My purpose is to help people express their purpose through their voice.
