Australian Rural Leadership Foundation

I'm fundraising for leadership in the NT!

Growing up in WA, I spent my childhood camping and my teens exploring the outdoors, sparking a lifelong love of adventure. This led to three years traveling across Australia’s outback.

As a Darwin-based Naturopath and Herbalist for 17 years and owner of Everlasting Health, I’m passionate about nature and women's health.

I met Donna through my 2025 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award journey and was inspired by her passion for strengthening leadership in the NT.

I'm looking forward to sharing this amazing experience!

This July, I’m taking on the Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, trekking 100km through the stunning Larapinta Trail to raise funds for a Central Australian leader to participate in the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP).

The ARLP is a life-changing 15-month leadership program that builds skills, confidence, and networks for leaders in rural, regional, and remote Australia. But not everyone has access to a scholarship, which is why I’m stepping up to help fund one.

🎯 My goal is to raise $2,500, contributing to our shared goal of $55,000 to fully fund a scholarship. 100% of funds go directly to the scholarship.

💙 Please support me by donating today! Every contribution makes a difference.

My why...

Thursday 14th May

Leadership is something I hadn’t consciously associated with myself as a solo business owner. But reflecting over the years, I can see I’ve stepped into leadership in many ways — through the collaborations I’ve built, the teams I’ve worked alongside, the communities I’ve supported, and the spaces I’ve helped create for women to connect, grow and heal.

Growing up in WA, I spent my childhood camping and my teens exploring the outdoors, which sparked a lifelong love of adventure and connection to nature. That passion eventually led me to spend three years travelling throughout Australia’s outback.

For the past 17 years, I’ve been based in Darwin as a Naturopath, Herbalist and owner of Everlasting Health, combining my love of nature with supporting women’s health and wellbeing.

Through my 2025 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award journey, I had the pleasure of meeting Donna and was deeply inspired by her passion for strengthening leadership across the NT.

I’m very much looking forward to sharing this amazing experience and continuing to learn more about leadership, connection and community impact along the way. 🌿
