MENTORING
​
Throughout Grace’s training and career, she learned that the mindset, energetic and embodiment elements were just as crucial as the physical skills required, not only for her successful auditioning and onstage performances, but for inner peace, calm and emotional and mental stability through the journey of self actualising as a performer and through the, at times, challenging terrains of the industry.
The physical skill sets are currently widely taught and accessible, what an incredible time to be alive, and Grace is passionate about teaching the mindset and energetic skills, tools & practices, for performers to not only have high calibre physical facility and training, but also the inner mastery to emotionally & mentally stabilise, regulate, self actualise and thrive in their navigating of the industry and in their careers.
​
Just some of the aspects she herself struggled with & overcame, as well as what she largely observes in performers include:
Perfectionism
Self doubt
Low self esteem/ low self belief
Self consciousness
Taking rejection personally
Seeking outside validation in place of true self esteem
Comparison
She is now incredibly passionate about sharing all that she has learned, honed and developed into teachable and effective practices that can be utilised for their entire career and beyond, with fellow performers and with the next generation.
'I know what it’s like to go from feeling like “I’m not enough to make it”, comparing myself relentlessly to the sea of talent and extraordinary performers in the industry - to feeling true competence, confidence, oneness with my value & my unique gifts as a performer, as well as living out my DREAM career internationally for over 10 years, and the path that felt truly authentic and soul satisfying for me.
I know what it’s like to go from struggling with anxiety on the inside with communication and the many different interactions and environments that can arise when navigating the industry - to feeling clear and calm within myself and my energetic and physical boundaries, empowered in my ability and skill to communicate and build harmonious, genuine working relationships, feel competent, grounded and confident during auditions, whilst also ENJOYING the process, as well as feel empowered in my perception overall, come what may on any given job, audition, rehearsal or on my path.
​
I know what it is to bridge this in your internal landscape, and to then see your external reality naturally shift in line with your authenticity and career desires, and HOW to do it. It is my DREAM to train other performers in this and to see them SOAR, living their most authentic careers & lives’. - Grace.

TESTIMONIALS
🌸 'Working with Grace has been enlightening and clarifying.
I came to our session very clear on my career goals but also very clear on my blocks such as not feeling seen by agents and bookers, envy towards colleagues that despite all my efforts I couldn't help feeling, and need for external validation.
First of all, Grace was able to empathize with my story and gave me understanding words that made me feel heard and hopeful.
But the true gem was all the manifestation/subconscious work knowledge she imparted. As we continued with our sessions, she provided me with several tools and recommended different practices in order for me to target my blocks and work on overcoming them and also for attracting the want for my career. She did an of this with so much peace, generosity and in a way that felt in flow and personalized, that I left our sessions feeling empowered, standing firmer in my worth and also with new perspectives.
Of course Grace gives you the tools and then it's your job to put them into practice, however I felt and experienced an instant shift after our sessions. 2 days after our first session I got a job that I had been wanting to do for a while, was reached by several of my agencies expressing interest in the development of my career which made me feel seen, and now I'm slowly becoming less fearful about scarcity and saying no. I know that more will come as I put into practice all of these teachings and I'm looking forward to continue working with Grace to help me develop the career of my dreams.' - Camila, Model.

🌸 'Working with Grace was so beneficial for sorting through the limiting beliefs I had about my work and career. She gently and firmly guided me through blocks in the way of manifesting my desired goals. Prior to the session I had dreams I felt unsure about and upon leaving I had a much more solid sense of what I was working towards. Grace brings clarity and humor with her wisdom that makes the session so exciting and fun, with her guidance I felt really led towards bringing truth to my desires and releasing ideas that were getting in the way of their blossoming fully. I am so grateful to be moving forward with new perspective and understanding!’ - Carl, Vocalist.

🌸 'I was blown away by my session with Grace!
I really loved how she took the time to help me ground myself and clear my mind before diving deep into discussing my desires and discovering what my soul is aching to do.
It was such a healing experience that actually brought me to tears at some points, because her methods are truly powerful stuff.
The best part is that now I feel more free and relaxed about what I desire rather than anxious about how to get it.
Grace is a professional whose really done her homework on this, and her energy shows true compassion and understanding for helping creatives reach their highest dreams! I couldn't recommend her enough!!' - Yurian, Dancer.

🌸 'My Soul Clarity session with Grace was highly uplifting, inspirational and professional!
Grace understands what it is to be a creative soul on a unique path which diverges from the traditional, safe and
predictable life choices that we are neatly presented with from childhood. Grace opened my mind to the concepts of visualisation, expanders and human design, all of which I have thoroughly researched and found highly beneficial and timely. I felt Grace imparted with me true unconditional positive regard, a sense of reflective clarity around my inner being and higher self and I felt profoundly heard and seen and understood. Our extensive and info-filled session just whipped by! I can highly recommend Grace as an intuitive coach with a creative an empathic spirit and I will not hesitate to reach out to her for future sessions as my life continues to unfold.' - Michelle, Vocalist.
