“I could not recommend these teachings highly enough. Meg and the course was so effective and engaging. I felt both challenged and supported professionally and personally, and I have come away feeling very motivated. I feel very moved to have had this opportunity to pause and build greater awareness.”

“Meg’s training and her support throughout the process was incredible, powerful and life changing. Meg supported me to be able to safely explore myself, at the same time as learning the incredible content, knowledge and experience she had to share. Meg was mindful, accepting and patient, especially due to the incredible amount of trauma and long journey that she supported me to start. Without her support, I do not know where I would be today.”

“Meg has been supporting me in my journey since 2015. She eloquently blends her exceptional level of knowledge, experience and expertise with generosity, authenticity and unconditional positive regard. She has a way of always meeting me at exactly where I’m at; whether I need advice and guidance, opportunities for reflection to develop self-awareness or simply the encouragement and motivation to keep working towards my goals. Meg has been a huge part of my professional and personal journey and I’m extremely grateful for her support.”
Nadine Delaney
Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Founder of Hunter Valley Children’s Therapies, Co-Founder of Nature Based Therapies Australia.
“Meg’s genuine interest in understanding the inner world of another, their experiences of themself, others, and their immediate and distant environment, is wonderful. She uses an attuned attention, and respect, of one’s needs, boundaries, and tolerance to psychological discomfort. This creates safe and trusting conditions for personal and professional exploration of oneself and one’s interpersonal relationships. It also provides a fertile space for psychological roadblocks to emerge and be safely held and contained.”
Dr Ivana Pajkic,
Psychologist
“I am so grateful for the experience of being taught by Meg, she carries potent teachings that will guide me for the rest of my journey.I feel the deepest change for me personally has been learning how to regulate and resource my nervous system, the NABLI process and cultivating awareness. I feel like my capacity to deal with the bumpy parts of life has expanded,I have a lot more choice and greater self confidence. I have this embodied feeling of knowing I am capable, that I have the ability to move through it even when it feels really hard. It is actually so difficult to sum up my experience through words because it has been such a profound shift for me. Meg has, what seems a natural ability to create a beautiful, safe space amongst the group. She is incredibly welcoming, I felt so seen and heard. I absolutely loved the way she showed up authentically, not trying to be a certain persona, but as Meg, a fellow traveller. I hope I have another opportunity to be mentored by Meg. I have an immense amount of appreciation for her work. “
