About us
Lifelong friends turn into founders
We met at uni when we were young, energetic and eager to save the world. Now, we are not so young or energetic but still just as eager to serve our fellow humans.
Together we have over 40 years of combined professional and personal experience. We both have our own histories of anxiety, depression and burn-out; we understand mental health from the inside-out. We navigated the depths of grief together when we lost our mums, 10 days apart, in 2014. We respect and complement each other professionally and, while we are very different in height (5 ft vs 6 ft!), we have a similar approach to working with our clients.
There is no one “right” recipe for good mental health, we each must find our own. We believe in empowering people to become their own therapist/coach and the program has been designed to support this philosophy.
