Connection, communication, collaboration

I spent more than a decade working in allied health, supporting people through complex care and learning very quickly that good communication, creative problem-solving and genuinely understanding people can make all the difference.

Somewhere along the way, life grew too. I became a mum to four busy boys, threw myself into advocacy and charity work, and found myself writing and contributing to major media, speaking on panels, appearing across television and radio, co-hosting podcasts, building communities and taking on the kind of behind-the-scenes work that keeps good things moving.

Four Tides grew from all of those pieces. It gave me a way to bring together the practical side of my allied health background with the creative work I love and my slightly annoying inability to see a problem without wanting to figure out how to solve it.

These days, that means my work can look pretty different from one client to the next. I might be keeping the moving parts of a practice on track, taking executive and operational work off someone’s plate, creating content or getting stuck into a project that doesn’t fit neatly into a box.

But the heart of Four Tides hasn’t changed. I want the people I work with to feel like they have someone capable in their corner who understands what they’re trying to achieve, takes initiative and makes things feel a little lighter.

Because work matters, but so does having enough left in the tank for life outside of it.
