Travel is more than just seeing the sights – it is about life enriching experiences, and magical heartfelt moments.
A Bit About Me...
With almost 40 years travel experience, 23 years of which have been with MTA, I am excited to combine my knowledge, love, and passion for travel to help my clients experience the extraordinary!
​
My experience covers everything from supporting businesses with their travel needs, coordinating large groups, creating engaging trips for lucky competition winners, developing personalized and transformative itineraries for those who wish to promote wellness of their mind, body and Spirit and helping to create amazing holidays which explore the many possibilities that the world has to offer.
​
I was blessed and honoured to receive the inaugural MTA Spirit Award in 2014 in recognition of the embodiment of the values and vison of MTA Travel and the commitment to the highest service of our clients.
More recently I have also been admitted to the MTA Hall of Fame in recognition of my many years of service.
Because I Care...
Travel is no longer just about tourism, rather it is an incredibly powerful catalyst for change. It truly has the capacity to transform lives, and I love supporting my clients on that journey.
​
The world is changing, and the reasons why people travel is changing also... people are living with higher levels of stress, a lot less time on their hands, and many more pressures than ever before.
​
As a consequence, people are searching – searching for a way to feel better, to figure out where they belong, what their purpose is and how they can feel lighter, more alive and connected.
​
My clients are like family to me - unique, valued, and important, and what they are looking for is just as special.
​
I care about your experience and your journey.
How I Can Help...
My intention is to work closely with you to create unforgettable memories, magical moments and to help make your travel dreams a reality.
​
I can help you explore new paths, experience exciting adventures, different ways to challenge yourself as you step outside your comfort zone and create the opportunity to help you feel free and alive.
​
I can also help with creating special moments, strengthening family connections, making a positive difference in the world, giving back to those in need, finding ways to be still and peaceful and fostering new understandings, as well as helping you to belong and feel welcomed. Experiences in wellness, day spas, mindfulness and healing are my very favourite!
​
Most of all, I am all about taking care of you and your travel needs in the best possible way I know how!
​
Whatever you are looking for I am ready to help you make it happen!
How I Got Here...
My life in travel began in 1986!
​
At that time, you could not work in the travel industry unless you had the qualification of Fares and Ticketing, and you could not obtain that qualification unless you worked in travel! Catch 22! To get around this problem, I completed the Associate Diploma in Travel and Tourism which at the time was the only industry qualification available.
​
My career began with a two year placement at TravelScene, starting at the bottom and learning the basics.
​
My passion was to be a consultant, so when the opportunity arose to take on a Corporate consulting role at Westpac Travel, I grabbed it with both hands! Once there I worked my way up from a junior domestic consultant to a senior international supervisor over my seven years there.
​
After leaving to start a family, I then took on various roles including three years at Travel In Fashion where I developed my skills in Group and Incentive travel.
​
A change in circumstances, led to a “fork in the road” moment which lead me down a new path to MTA - Mobile Travel Agents.
Moving Forward...
With almost 37 years overall experience (so far) up my sleeve 23 (so far) of which have been with MTA, a change in circumstances led to yet another "fork in the road" moment....This time, I was inspired to expand my reach to service those people who were looking for something more from life.
​
These people are looking for more connection - both within themselves and with others. They are hoping to expand and grow - to feel inspired, enriched, changed in a positive way.
The look forward to moments of self care, the opportunity to go within and heal. The seek the opportunity to step outside their comfort zone, to embrace fun and magic and to make a difference not only to their lives, but also to the lives of those they come into contact with.
They not only seek a fuller and more enriching life experience but they also want to use travel as a catalyst for that change.
​
With this in mind, Inspired Soul Retreats was born... and together in a full and enriching partnership with MTA - Mobile Travel Agents we help to make a difference - one person at a time.
