Meet your guide

Hello, I'm Kath

I'm a STARR Method™ Complex Trauma Practitioner and Empowerment Coach, specialising in Domestic and Family Violence, advocating for women to live their best on purpose life.


I am a survivor of domestic violence and I understand the dynamics, as I have lived through it and come out the other end, to find a beautiful life waiting for me. Over a series of past relationships I experienced, physical, verbal, emotional and mental abuse; and most times felt like I was walking on egg shells.


In August 2015, my 10 relationship ended very abruptly, with him choosing a different path. It was a traumatic, life changing event, which brought me to my knees. I felt like a tornado had ripped through my life at that point.


Over the next few years, I spent my time reinventing my life and I finally love the person I have become and the beautiful life I now have. I put my own missing pieces together, and have learned to love myself unconditionally. I love being kind and loving towards people and in turn the joy that brings to my heart. I have found my inner child and love having fun, doing silly stuff that makes my heart sing.


Why work with me?

There are many things I have done to bring me to where I am at this point in my life and I now absolutely love being my authentic self, without any fear. It is so liberating and empowering to finally have peace and harmony in my life. I am here to work with you and to share my journey, what I have learned along the way and how I have done this, so that you too, can finally feel confident, comfortable and wonderful about fearlessly being your authentic self.


I have not done this alone as I have had the help of some absolutely, amazing, beautiful women, to help me get back on the path to finding my authentic self. Now it is my turn to give back the love and kindness that was shown to me. I am here to help those of you who are now looking for answers and a way to move forward, to enjoy the beautiful life you deserve.


You might ask, why Phoenix Rising - I have often said to my friends that I feel like a Phoenix rising up out of the ashes, i.e. that I have transformed into my authentic self, no longer afraid to be me


I’ve been in your shoes!

I have personally been impacted by domestic violence and survived. I’ve rebuilt a life filled with peace, harmony and happiness – I can show you how to do the same.


Your story is safe with me

Professional, empathetic, kind, caring and compassionate are words that have been used to describe how I work. Your story is safe with me.


Judgement free zone!

Judgement free, we will work together through whatever comes up, to find a solution, in order for you to change your life.




Welcome to your journey of finding all the missing pieces that make up the beautiful person that is you. Where you will awaken to the essence of you; where you will want to love and embrace everything about the beautiful person you are, and come to realise - you are perfect just the way you are, you are enough, you are worth the very best that life has to offer. This is guaranteed to be an exciting journey of self discovery, enlightenment and empowerment for you.


I am here to help those of you who now find yourself on your own healing journey - looking for answers as to why you have been caught up in the cycle of abuse; wanting to heal the pain sitting at your very core; and looking for a way to move forward, to break free from the cycle of abuse chains that have held you bound.

Beautiful clients say this about our journey together...

Kath has helped me many many times throughout my life and especially whilst I was been dealing with various family and highly emotive issues, by listening, acknowledging and hearing what I've said, advising different books to read for me to gain further insight and understanding of situations and people. Kath is a very genuine, gentle, caring and compassionate lady, who's voice I found calming in the most emotionally traumatic situations.

- Annette D


I have known Kath for years and I know that our friendship will be forever. Kath has an amazing ability to heal people.


I highly recommend Kath for any areas you wish to improve your life in, you will be unstoppable!


Thank you Kath for improving my life to unimaginable heights. With you as a mentor I know I will succeed.

The STARR Method™ Program is an 8 week program where we work together, one-on-one, which takes you from feeling powerless and lost to feeling confident within yourself; having a deeper love and understanding for and of yourself, and allowing yourself to see a much brighter, joyous future, living your best on purpose life.

Client Testimonial

Kath is an amazing individual and the perfect person to guide you through STARR therapy, or just to counsel you, she is very intuitive and understanding.


If you're ready to have your life transformed but aren't sure quite how - she can help you help yourself! (Being prepared to open your mind really helps too!) I've struggled to deal with mental health issues, emotional issues, social issues for a long time. After completing the STARR sessions with her, I am so much happier and generally at peace, and within months I am now much less dependent on medications.


The 'little things' don't bother me so often anymore. I am so grateful that I met Kath and decided to take the leap and try a different form of 'treatment'. It sounds so trite but she really has helped me to help myself. Thankyou Kath.

Do you have questions?

What is behind the name Project Phoenix Rising?

The spirit of the Phoenix is very powerful. This mythical creature is able to burn entirely and resurrect itself from its own ashes. While it may not be a gentle process, it can lead to very drastic and positive changes, erasing all burdens from the past and start afresh and anew.

The Phoenix is a bold, indestructible being – just like you. BY making the Phoenix your ally you will be strong enough to create rapid transformation, quickly letting go of energies which are no longer useful to your well-being and be able to access a whole set of new opportunities.


This daring approach opens many doors all at once. Not to be overwhelmed by all the potentials within you, take some time to study your various options. But the only way is up and at full steam under the power of the Phoenix.

What services do you offer?

One on One (hourly rate) – sessions can be done in person or Zoom. You choose which one best suits you.


8 week program - STARR Method™ Program – 1.5hrs per session, with one session per week. I also provide a follow-up service, which is part of the fee, to keep you on track, see how you are going and answer any questions along the way.


Workshops – these are to be advised.

How long is each STARR Method™ session?

Each session takes about 90 minutes, but I ask that you allow for 2 hours. I do not believe in “one size fits all” and I will not stop the session because the time is up. If we are in the middle of something important, I will take the time to complete the session, even if that extends the time.

Do you guarantee results with the service you provide?

Yes. Project Phoenix Rising guarantees that if you open yourself fully to your coaching, as well as dedicating time and effort as required, follow the action steps and goals, you will get great results from your life coaching experience. I use many effective tools to coach you towards the results you are wanting. In every session, you will learn a different technique and you will be provided with extra work (homework) to incorporate the new learning. These things will eventually become part of your daily routine.


I am confident that this program will assist you in making the positive changes in your life, moving you closer to the desired life you are wanting.

Can we chat first to see if we connect before I commit?

Absolutely! Before working with my clients, I like to have a brief chat to ensure we are a good fit before I send through options and pricing. You can book a time to chat here.

Do you guarantee the privacy of my information?

Absolutely! As a STARR Method™ Complex Trauma Practitioner and Empowerment Coach with Project Phoenix Rising, we guarantee never to use your details or anything you say without getting your permission first.


At the end of our time together, you will be asked to write your feedback and you can choose whether you want this information to stay confidential or not.

Where will I meet my practitioner/coach?

I live in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.

What if I don’t live in Coffs Harbour, in New South Wales or even in Australia?

The wonderful news is that you can live anywhere around the world and choose to receive your STARR Method™ sessions over Zoom.

Where can I find prices?

You can pay in full for the program or we can offer pay by installments to suit your budget.

What are my payment options?

Option 1

If paying full, full payment is expected prior to starting your sessions.

Let's get together and go for a walk along the beautiful Coffs Harbour Foreshore, while creating a supportive network of like-minded women and having fun. This is a women's walking group and is for you if you are:

  • Feeling isolated and looking for female companionship.
  • Looking for a supportive group of other women.
  • Wanting to make positive changes in your life.
  • Wanting a more harmonious, peaceful life.
  • Interested in gratitude and mindfulness.


This is a walking group with a difference - it is made up of a half hour walk (approximate) along our beautiful foreshore, followed by a half hour of more connecting, buy a coffee if you wish and come have a chat (each week there'll be a topic / theme that I hope will prompt some useful or helpful discussion for you).
