My first spiritual direction session was a watershed. It opened me to the journey towards
God. Since, then spiritual direction has given me invaluable support in navigating life and
gently guiding me. I have developed a passion to walk with people, which in my career as a
teacher meant young people and staff. In time this led me into the Siloam Program for
Spiritual Directors at Heart of Life.
I feel privileged to accompany persons on their sacred journey. My sole desire is to help
persons experience the joy and freedom comes in walking such a journey of fulfilment.
Work: I have worked in secondary schools and leadership in three countries, in the Catholic
and non-Catholic sectors, for close to fifty years. Hence, I bring a range of experience of
guiding people through diverse life situations.
I currently conduct a weekly tutorial for the full-time students of the Siloam Program at the
Heart of Life.
Affiliations: I am a member of the Conference of Spiritual Directors Australia, the Marist
Association and the Victorian Institute of Teaching.
interests: Some of my passions are, family, gardening, travel, sport, especially cricket,
reading and nature.
