▪️DIGITAL NUTRITION is a positive tech-use philosophy I created in 2013. I help people ‘de-guilt their tech use’, optimise their digital wellbeing & stay human in a tech-saturated 🌏

🔎 I research cyberpsychology at Sydney Uni, specifically teens & 📱🕹 use. I translate evidence into education to help us ‘be well connected’ 🔌🧘

▪️PSYCHOLOGY PRACTICE // I’ve been a registered psychologist for a decade. I provide evidence-based counselling & coaching for high schoolers to baby boomers.

👾 I also support individuals & families struggling with problematic internet use (aka ‘technology addiction’ & Gaming Disorder) without banning devices.

‼️Social media is not therapy. Any conversations I participate in do not constitute direct therapeutic advice. Contact your local mental health crisis service if you’re in a jam.

▪️COMMUNICATION // I speak, write, comment and consult on issues at the intersection of psychology x technology and how tech shapes how we live, love & learn.

🧲 MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS // I’ve appeared on ABCTV’s Q&A panel twice (2019 & 2020). I’ve keynoted at EduTECH AU & Happiness And It’s Causes. I’ve been a guest on dozens of podcasts. My writing is scattered all over the Internet. I won musical chairs on Romper Room in 1983. 🪑🎶

▪️BACKGROUND // I’m western Sydney born and bred. I’ve got a kid, partner and 3 🐓. I taught high school for 5 years (where I developed the largest debating program in Australia) & spent 10 as a School Counsellor. I’ve held positions as a: theatre producer, social media strategist and video shop assistant!

♻️ I’m into eco-living, clever-thinking, radical self-caring & no-bullshitting.

🔺Ask me about why I think ‘digital detoxes’ don’t work and why we should call BS on the notion of ‘screentime’ and work-life ‘balance’
