About Grace

As an accredited spiritual director, I hold contemplative listening space for directees seeking discernment, deeper intimacy with the Divine, embodied presence and greater self-understanding — especially in times of prayer, transition, or life challenge. My approach supports an authentic relationship with oneself, with God, and with significant others.

My journey began in 2014 as a pilgrim through the Ignatian first spiritual exercises, followed by a full 30-day silent Jesuit retreat and later, formation at WellSpring Centre in the Christian contemplative tradition. I hold a Master of Spiritual Direction from the University of Divinity, with postgraduate studies in Ignatian spirituality, divinity, and professional supervision.

As an inclusive Christian with an interfaith calling, my practice is enriched by wisdom from other faith traditions. Trauma-informed and trauma-trained, I also integrate dance, movement, and art with those who prefer creative and non-verbal ways of processing. My interests include mysticism, contemplative arts and trauma science.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
