About the Body of Work:
This body of work is a cultivation of all the tools and resources I have been deeply initiated into across the past 6 years of facilitating and participating in various trainings worldwide.
The concept behind this body of work revolves around the idea that individuals experience life through their unique lens, shaped by their emotions, belief systems, wounding, and core memories. These internal experiences act as the “window” through which we perceive the world, influencing our thoughts, actions, and relationships.
At Your Window, we focus on helping individuals clear the smudges, cracks, and distortions that obscure their view—those unresolved traumas, unexamined stories, and inherited patterns that keep them stuck, living a life of mediocrity, obligation, and domesttication. By exploring what lies behind this window, we guide people in reclaiming their true nature, integrating their shadow, and connecting with what truly lights them up with inspiration.
This is not just work—it is a reclamation of your truest self, a homecoming to the brilliance of who you are and who you’ve always been. Through Your Window, you’ll find the clarity, tools, and courage to create a life that feels not just whole, but extraordinary. Because anything less isn’t living—it’s waiting. And you were born for so much more..
A bit about me….
I know what it feels like to be in the presence of a man carrying unintegrated pain. Growing up, I witnessed the men in my life, including my father and stepfather, struggle under the weight of their wounds. Alcohol became a way to numb what they didn’t understand. As a child, I found myself in a constant state of hyper-vigilance, monitoring their every move, which felt like it could change in an instant. I learned to sense when this shift was coming—usually after the fifth glass of wine, they became unpredictable. I was forced to suppress the innocence of my youth and harden my shell, stepping into a protective role for myself, my mother, and my younger siblings.
Every day, I saw how unprocessed pain could spill out in harmful ways, not because these men lacked love, but because they didn’t have the tools to heal. My father gave me many gifts like play and affection, but the pains he carried also taught me what happens when a person is disconnected from their emotions and the impact that has on those around them. It inspired me to take a different path—to confront my pain instead of numbing it and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma by transforming my wounds into something helpful and healing for others.
Over the past decade I have served as a senior facilitator and coach at The Man Cave, a preventive mental health and emotional intelligence charity that has positively impacted over 50,000 young men across Australia, while also providing facilitation training and mentorship to the facilitators and role models who deliver these programs. I have designed and delivered leadership and character development programs with organisations including Movember, Monash University, The Olympic Committee, and The Rites of Passage Institute reaching many more diverse ages, genders, and communities globally.
My mission now is to bring the culmination of my work into containers and mentorships that guide people toward integration and creativity, transforming their wounds into wisdom and their wisdom into something extraordinary.
Why Creativity and Integration?
It is my belief that most human beings are born with two extraordinary abilities: the power to integrate their human experiences, and the gift of creativity - to create something out of nothing. These abilities are intertwined, feeding and strengthening one another. Integration—the process of feeling, processing, and accepting our lived experiences—transforms pain into wisdom. Creativity then becomes the outlet through which this wisdom finds form, allowing us to lead lives beyond the limitations of our wounds and share with the world the unique beauty we see through our window.
History reveals the potency of this relationship. In the 19th century, the African American community gave birth to the Blues—a raw and transformative expression of struggle, heartbreak, and resilience. Emerging from unimaginable suffering during and after the Reconstruction era, the Blues offered not just a creative outlet but a means of integration. It turned collective pain into something extraordinary, something that connected humanity to the depths of their experience. Imagine if, instead of this creative expression, those generations had been numbed by endless distractions or sedated with quick fixes. The world would have been robbed of their wisdom, they would have been robbed of their healing, and we wouldn’t have the Blues.
Yet today, we live in a flatline culture that avoids the depths of feeling. We bypass our discomfort by flooding our lives with distractions, numbing sensations that hold the potential for transformation. But it’s in discomfort—in the raw, unfiltered space of feeling—that healing begins. Trauma and conditioning, universal aspects of human life, mould how we see the world and how we live in it. These imprints can only shift when we step into the vulnerability of seeing our deepest wounds as our deepest wisdom - recognising that it is the dark corners of our being that fortifies our deepest wisdom.
Within every human life lies the potential to create beauty from pain and purpose from the messiness of being alive.
Acting was my doorway to this transformational journey. Each character I played was not separate from me but a part of myself waiting to be seen and accepted. Parts of me that would often be shamed, judged, or attacked if they came out in the social world. What began as a creative practice became a deeply healing one, connecting me to the shared human condition, what makes human beings - human. This creative pursuit connected me to something that continues to inspire my life’s work.
What do we Integrate with?
For the past 12 months myself and a team diverse practitioners, psychotherapists, facilitators, and teachers have been working along side Nigel Denning and the Integrative Psychology Institute to develop a new self integration modality called UST. This modality is one of the dominate tools used within Your Window journey.
What is UST?
Unconditional Self Therapy (UST) is an advanced, integrative therapeutic modality that combines elements of parts work, somatic awareness, and self-compassion practices to facilitate profound internal coherence and healing. UST operates on the premise that all parts of the psyche—whether protective, wounded, or shadowed—carry adaptive intentions and valuable insights. The process involves creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship between the client’s core Self and these internal parts, allowing for deep emotional integration, resolution of inner conflicts, and the release of maladaptive patterns. By fostering a secure internal environment, UST empowers individuals to access greater psychological resilience, self-awareness, and alignment in their lives.
