• ATMP Tutor

  • Feb 2013 - Present

  Tutoring and mentoring students who are pursuing their dream careers through study, and knowing you are making a difference as you see them gain self-assurance in bringing their potentials to life is absolutely amazing, and very fulfilling! This has included my tutoring as an ITAS tutor at Murdoch University (2012 - 2019) and Macquarie University (2013). My tutoring & mentoring is complemented by the substantive editing work I do for books and articles as well as postgraduates' theses. Through editing I am able to support and encourage peoples’ passion for their topic so that it may be creatively and 'flowingly' expressed through their writing.

  Organising, providing and holding a space, hence facilitating (often with a colleague), for those wanting to experience Chakradance - a non-prescriptive dance practice which is like a moving meditation and has been called the sister of yoga. It allows reconnection of any fragmentation of the self/spirit/mind and therefore heals (healing means making whole) and enhances self-knowledge and wellbeing.
