Trauma-informed, decolonial and culturally responsive restorative practice
grounded in Indigenous wisdom, relational care, and lived experience.

I bring over 30 years of experience across justice, education, family violence practice, community development, human rights and gender equity work.
My approach is shaped by lived experience, research, and the wisdom of Indigenous ways of knowing and being including the communal values that come from my Sumi Naga heritage.
This work is not just professional. It is personal.
I create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and held
where difficult truths can be spoken, and where healing can begin.
I work with organisations, leaders, and communities to embed restorative and culturally responsive approaches into the way they lead, communicate, and care for people.
I help transform workplaces and communities from reactive environments into relational, reflective, and restorative spaces.
Key offerings:
Decolonial and culturally responsive restorative practice training
Leadership capacity building
Workplace and community restorative processes
Healing and reflective circles
Group reflection and development sessions
Co-design community programs and consultation

Many systems focus on performance, compliance, and outcomes.
Few make space for healing, reflection, and human connection.
Unaddressed harm shows up as conflict, burnout, disengagement, and fractured relationships.
When relationships break down, everything else follows. When relationships are restored, everything changes.
Restorative practice offers a different path, one grounded in accountability, dignity, and care.
My work draws from Indigenous perspectives that honour community, reciprocity, and collective responsibility.
Inspired by Sumi Naga values of kinship, courage, and shared humanity, I bring a holistic and deeply relational approach to every space I enter.
This is not a one-size-fits-all model. It is work shaped by people, place, and story.
I bridge academic knowledge, frontline practice, and lived experience to support meaningful, lasting change.

I partner with:
Mutli-cultural communities looking to co-design programs that promote self-determination, identity and belonging
Organisations seeking trauma-informed and culturally responsive practice
Leaders wanting to build stronger, more connected teams
Communities navigating conflict, harm, or change
If you believe relationships are the foundation of real change, this work is for you.
Restorative Living invites a return to what matters most:
connection, dignity, and shared humanity
Healing happens in relationships.
Change begins with conversation.
