FOUNDER & CEO

I’ve always been driven by one question — how do we live and lead with purpose?

That question has taken me from boardrooms to mountain peaks. As a qualified Organisational Psychologist, I began my career at PwC before leading national programs at The Man Cave, helping young men build emotional intelligence and confidence. But after years of chasing success, I hit burnout — and it changed the direction of my life.

Today, through Another Way, I help leaders, founders, and professionals find clarity, purpose, and courage to create lives that truly feel like their own. My work blends psychology, somatic leadership, and nature-based wisdom to help people reconnect with what really matters.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me hiking a mountain, around a campfire, or exploring a new coastline with my partner, Francesca.

OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

I’ve always been fascinated by what helps people and teams thrive. Over the years, that curiosity has taken me from wilderness therapy and ropes courses, to teaching snowboarding, leading HR initiatives, and even founding two businesses of my own. Each chapter gave me new tools, resilience, and perspective.

I’ve lived and worked across the U.S., Australia, and the UK, and travel has always been my teacher – reminding me of how many different ways there are to live and lead. What I’ve learned is that when teams are aligned and purpose-led, they don’t just succeed, they create ripples of impact far beyond themselves.

Today, my focus is simple: to help people and organizations see more clearly, connect more deeply, and achieve more together.

TECH YOGI

From a career in Corporate IT, to growing up in a family of 7, helping others has always been a passion of mine.

Through travel I was able to unpack my sense of self, and discover what purpose and alignment really felt like.

Fast forward after a chance encounter with Matt in my YTT, I help bring Another Way’s offering to life through our systems and customer experience.

Offline you’ll probably find me baking, dancing, exploring nature with my daughter and trying to find child-like joy in the everyday.

STORYTELLER & CONNECTOR

I've been curious about what makes people connect through story, whether that's written, spoken, or online.

That curiosity has taken me all over the globe. I've built communities and run retreats, managed brands and told their stories for them. I've chased surf and stories through the Canaries, Australia, Costa Rica, Europe, Hawaii and Japan. What I keep coming back to is helping people understand themselves and the world, and find an expression of who they actually are.

Today, that's what I do for Another Way. I look after our social presence, and I'm often the first person you speak to when you reach out to join our community. Both sides of the role come down to the same thing. Telling honest stories about this work, then making sure they reach the people who need them.

I think the online world rewards the real version of us more than the polished one. Most of what I do is helping brands, and the people behind them, trust that.

RESIDENT STORYTELLER

I’ve been weaving stories for as long as I can remember — through words, film, and song — capturing the moments and meanings that make us feel alive. Storytelling has always been my way of exploring the human experience, and over time it’s become my way of helping others connect more deeply with theirs.

As YANA The Storyteller, I create films, content, and narratives that help people see the beauty and meaning in their own journey. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, healing, and transformation — blending artistry and truth to reveal what’s real, raw, and resonant.

At Another Way, I help capture the magic and story of our retreats, clients, and community — distilling the essence of human transformation into powerful creative expression. I also support The Another Way Podcast, helping bring stories of courage, purpose, and awakening to life.

Through everything I create, my mission is simple: to tell stories that heal, awaken, and remind us of our shared humanity.

RESIDENT MEDITATION TEACHER

I’m Laura - a Vedic Meditation Teacher and guide. At my core, I believe our truest gift is waking up to who we are, and then living in service to that truth.

For over 15 years, I’ve walked the path of Vedic meditation, Vedanta, and embodiment practice — studying deeply with masters across Australia and India. Laura Poole. Over that time, I’ve cultivated a feminine-led meditation collective called Mahasoma, where I support meditators and teachers to integrate wisdom, community, and grounded practices.

I teach not just from books, but from life: growing a food forest on our Noosa homestead, leading retreats in India and Australia, and holding space for awakening through meditation, community, and embodiment.

At Another Way, I’m honoured to walk with this community — offering meditative wisdom, leading embodied practices, and helping our people pause, see deeper, and realign with their soul path.

If your heart is calling for clarity, stillness, and connection to what’s beyond the surface, I’d be honoured to share that journey with you.

FRACTIONAL CFO

I’ve always been curious about what makes people and businesses thrive.

That curiosity has taken me through six university degrees, multiple businesses and a career in finance, eventually leading me to found Simic Financial, where I help ambitious business owners make smarter decisions and build businesses that create both growth and freedom.

Outside of business, I’m passionate about basketball, community and learning. I’ve coached and captained in Geelong, mentor young professionals through CA ANZ, and even spent time studying the business of the NBA in Las Vegas.

I’m drawn to Another Way because I believe we can be ambitious without being consumed by ambition - creating success while making space for the people, experiences and adventures that make life meaningful.
