One of the most personal turning points in her life is when she met with a naturopath on 6 March 2014 (a day before her 32nd birthday). At that time, she had everything she had worked so hard for— a great corporate career as an environmental manager, a loving and caring husband, a beautiful home with two fabulous dogs, and even running a martial arts school with husband in their “spare” time. Yet, despite everything being “in place,” she found herself overwhelmed, often in tears, and struggling to understand why.
During that session, the naturopath asked a single question that changed everything:
“Who would you be if we stripped away all your achievements?”
She was completely caught off guard. For years, she had defined herself by accomplishments, striving for success, meeting expectations, and pushing herself harder; there’s always more to do. But in that moment, she realised that no external achievement could bring the fulfillment and contentment she was seeking. In desperate need to let go of pressure, redefine what truly mattered, and create space for clarity and simplicity.
This realisation set her on the path she is now; uncovering how to eliminate the noise, focus on what truly matters, and create a sustainable system for clarity, balance, and control.
We need to know how to operate effectively with sufficient capacity
in our world of too much.

"Eve’s session on tackling busyness at work was insightful and actionable. She guided our team of six through simplifying complexity, exceeding our expectations. Her interactive talk provided practical tips we implemented immediately. It was an engaging experience that reshaped how we work. I highly recommend Eve for her unique approach—her influence on our work habits is evident. This wasn’t just a one-time talk but an ongoing journey toward better business practices that we’re excited to continue."
“We needed a last-minute guest speaker for our monthly inspirational staff session and we were so glad Eve was available. I'd absolutely recommend her! Everyone who attended Eve's presentation was engaged and there was not enough time for questions at the end. Learning and discussing how we can build our skill to simplify was a great conversation piece that is still going around the office. Much appreciated.”
“With our environment inundated with "stuff" coming from all angles; emails, texts, social media, work environment noise, family requirements, exercise, social expectations.... I felt a little help with trying to make what flies into our minds and lives everyday a little less complex would be good for everyone. The session on simplicity was really informative, I now have a way to recognise what I need to do to ease complexity and get back to the present, and knowing this contributes to us all working more effectively too. Our session with Eve exceeded my expectations! Something so useful and I would definitely recommend her - in any environment.”
“I was introduced to Eve and her work by one of our valued members. Looking for a speaker to deliver a soft skills presentation on a different concept that we haven’t covered before, I liked Eve’s concept and commitment to simplification. Our 2022 conference audience rated the session very well; a fantastic presentation, excellent presenter and a very useful and interesting session. Very pleased and I’ve already engaged Eve again.”
"Interested in hearing a new way of thinking, I was looking for a speaker to present on an “outside the box” topic. Eve's presentation exceeded my expectations; was carefully crafted and engaging, and displayed a high level of expertise and experience. Simplicity, is such a unique topic and so relevant in today's complex world, I can highly recommend Eve."
“Looking for a speaker with a different perspective I was recommended to contact Eve. Our expectations were to hear something insightful that could improve the way we work and live. Eve provided a useful framework to simplify and presented in a refreshing manner. The topic is something we can all relate to and can use aspects to improve not only our work but also our personal lifestyle. Would love to learn more!”
