My story & values
I founded Mindful Bloom to provide practical, grounded support to women navigating complexity. Over time, a focused area of this work developed within the NDIS space, supporting individuals navigating life transitions, systems pressures, and complex circumstances.
My work is grounded in safety, consent, dignity, and practicality. I believe support should reduce overwhelm - not add to it. Clear structure, calm communication, appropriate access and steady progress matter deeply to me.
Professional experience
I bring over seven years of experience across banking, financial counselling, systems navigation, mental health support, and community wellbeing, with a strong focus on trauma-informed, person-led support.
My background means I’m confident supporting participants with the real-world layers that sit underneath daily life - paperwork, communication load, financial stress, decision fatigue, and navigating change.
Alongside my NDIS work, I design, deliver and facilitate financial wellbeing programs and community-based supports. My NDIS supports are delivered within scope under Capacity Building and Core categories.

How lived insight informs the way I work
I bring both professional experience and lived understanding of how complex life circumstances intersect with systems, money, communication, and capacity - including the added pressure that can come with family and domestic violence, post-separation abuse, and navigating multiple service systems at once.
As a neurodivergent woman, I also understand how processing load, decision fatigue, sensory overwhelm, and communication demands can quietly compound during high-stress periods.
This does not mean I assume I know someone’s story. It means I understand how easily overwhelm can build - and how powerful calm, structured support can be.
My role is not to fix, diagnose, or take over. My role is to walk alongside participants as they build confidence, clarity, and independence - at their pace.
