HOW IT WORKS
APPOINTMENTS.
Appointments are currently available online by video call or via phone. I’ve recently relocated to the Port Stephens area and plan to offer in-person sessions here very soon. I’m regularly in Sydney and the Southern Highlands and welcome enquiries about home visits or nature-based walk-and-talk sessions.
FEES.
One-hour sessions are $110. If financial strain related to illness, treatment, or emotional upheaval is a concern, please know I’m open to discussing adjusted fees.

I AM A LOVER OF CLOUDS!
These are moments I’ve captured when I’ve been awed by their beauty. To me they represent our ever changing lives, all the highs as well as the challenges. Without them, a sunrise or a sunset wouldn’t be as striking or as beautiful.
