About Dinah
After earning her degree from La Trobe University, Dinah sidestepped into the corporate world as a Shipping Clerk in Melbourne. She later joined The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, working within the Residential Tenancies and Small Claims Tribunals (now VCAT). Developing expertise in consumer rights legislation she quickly moved into management positions. Now training staff on legal provisions and how to advise consumers effectively. She also managed statistical data for annual reports and supervised phone line operations and Customer Service.
With a thriving career, excellent pay, and a secure future in a sought-after role, Dinah seemed set on her path. But a two-week holiday in Perth changed everything. She made a bold decision to stay, and reinvented herself as a licensed Real Estate Agent in Western Australia.
After a couple of years, she and her boyfriend decided to travel north. They spent time living in the Northern Territory and Queensland before eventually returning to Victoria and settling on the Mornington Peninsula, where they started a boat hire business.
It was during this time that Dinah discovered You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. Inspired by its message, she began attending spiritual groups, studying metaphysics, and deepening her personal growth. She also became a Reiki Practitioner and a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, setting the foundation for a new chapter in her life.
A holiday to England was to change things again as she canceled her return flight. Following her passion for social work, Dinah joined a not-for-profit organization while continuing her studies on the mind-body connection. In 2002, she became a certified You Can Heal Your Life and Achieve Your Dreams Workshop Leader.
Seeking to deepen her expertise, she pursued formal qualifications, earning a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy specializing in Past Life Regression. Living in West Yorkshire, Dinah attended spiritualist churches and meetings five to six nights a week. She participated in local gatherings as well as traveling across West Yorkshire and Lancashire Counties. Later, she worked on tarot and psychic lines, including live TV broadcasts, where she provided readings over the phone
On returning to Queensland, Australia there were many difficulties to surmount. These difficulties have now proven to be the very challenges which helped her find her true self, core beliefs and finally feel a sense of purpose. She worked with a psychologist and a Christian Science Practitioner for some time until she was able to obtain work in the not for profit sector once again, working with adults with disabilities which she thoroughly enjoyed.
She still loves working with people with disabilities but realised that she also needed to share her abilities to help people who are struggling with mental health issues and those who have been traumatised early on.
Her work is now divided between helping people in her local community where she can assist physically and helping select clients on their own spiritual journeys from a sense of despair or desperation to one of hope and encouragement.
