In 2002, while working for Education Qld in Special Ed. I received a diagnosis of a tumour on my jaw condyle. My children were around the same age as I was when I lost my dad and I couldn't leave them.  The tumour was removed but the operation left me with only one jawbone and loss of movement down one side of my face, which is interesting as I now talk all day for a living! After years of speech therapy, I learned to line up my mouth again, but I still have some difficulties with my eye. This was a traumatic experience that unearthed some past emotions I had been carrying around for a lot of years. In 2006, at the age of 42, after watching how my daughter struggled with daily life in similar ways to me, I was diagnosed with ADHD. I finally had an answer, but now I wanted more, so my life-long interest and advocacy in finding out and supporting those with social and emotional sensitivities began. 

In 2008, I learnt about Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT Tapping! and I found that I was able to tune into my emotions and let them go in a safe way. It helped me to work with the challenges I faced from having ADHD. I now truly believed that I was good enough, and I knew I didn’t have to hold onto things from my past that upset me.

I went on to work as a Support Officer for the Department of Child Safety, a Community Participation Officer for Ed Qld which took me to part-time work in Special Education.

My lifetime experiences led me to open the doors of Applied Techniques Training and Consultancy in 2010.

Today, I am the director of Applied Techniques Training and principal author of APPLIED TECHNIQUES EMOTIONAL WELLNESS EDUCATOR so I can share my experiences with others as I:

• Deliver workshops on Emotional Freedom Techniques / EFT Tapping!;

• Run workshops on Social and Emotional Sensitivities associated with ADHD and ASD.

• Provide Parenting and Early Education Behaviour Support in person or online.

• Have published a book, “The Emotions Behind Bullying Behaviour”;

• Take one-on-one EFT Tapping Consultations in person or via zoom. 

Yours in Emotional Wellness
