A little bit of my story

Phoebe has dedicated her career to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and enhance their relationships. Over the past 12 years, she has developed programs that have resulted in significant transformations for her clients. 

Her commitment extends beyond her professional life; as a wife, she strives to empower other couples towards their best married life through practical strategies outlined in her book "Honeymooners Forever”, a book of Fun and Simple Strategies on Improving Arguing, Communication, Passion, Independence, and Preventing Affairs.

In addition to her work with couples, Phoebe is passionate about empowering individuals to recognize their own potential and understand life's intricacies. Her book "Are You Listening? Life Is Talking To You!" encourages readers to harness their innate abilities and navigate life more effectively by listening and learning from their experiences.


Phoebe's dedication to mental health extends to a broader scale with the Passionate Life Program (PLP), which she has pioneered in Australia. This program, aimed at individuals struggling with mental health or lifestyle factors seeking to reclaim fulfilling lives, reflects her mission of making a meaningful impact on those struggling. Phoebe now actively trains carefully selected, trauma-informed, and deeply compassionate counsellors across Australia, who share her commitment to helping others.


Through her books, programs and training initiatives, Phoebe is actively shaping a better future by enabling individuals and couples to overcome challenges, enhance their relationships and achieve personal fulfilment. Every day, Phoebe's vision of making a meaningful impact on the world is steadily becoming a reality.
