I'm a Diamond Approach teacher living in Melbourne, Australia. I've been student of the Ridhwan School, an inner work school, since 1998. I completed the nine-year teacher training program in 2016. Since then, I've worked with students in private sessions, and taught for Diamond Approach Australia. I now also teach for Diamond Approach New Zealand.
Originally, I worked as an actor, after training at the Victorian College of the Arts under David Latham, and with Leonid Verzub, a long-time student and colleague of Maria Knebel. I taught actors in university courses and professional training programs in Australia and the United States for twenty years. I also trained in breathwork with Stanislav Grof and Tav Sparks from 1996-99, and worked for Grof Transpersonal Training from 2001-2010.
My PhD research used the Diamond Approach and Transpersonal Psychology to illuminate spiritual roots and orientation of twentieth century approaches to actor training and technique. You can read my thesis here.
With Jane Armytage and other Australian teachers, I am currently starting a new group for those with a calling to the Diamond Approach as a spiritual path, or a passionate interest in inner work. If you are interested you can find more information at the DAA website.
In 2023, with Vivienne Leahy, I'll be starting a new group in NZ. You can find out more about that at the DANZ website.
I am not currently taking on new private students. If you are looking for a private teacher, please use the links to the DAA and DANZ sites.
