At the heart of my work is the unshakeable belief in the power of purposeful gathering.

I've seen what's possible when people come together with intention, curiosity and emotional safety.

This is where mindsets shift, great strategy takes shape and culture grows strong.

Once upon a time I was a speech pathologist…

I spent 15 rewarding years working with children, young people, and families to help them find and use their ‘voice'. Here is where my love for connection, collaboration and communication was seeded. It’s also where I discovered that systems and services needed to empower, rather than ‘fix’ people.

My desire to improve and innovate essential services and systems led me to my next career: co-designing and implementing human-centred strategy and services in the health sector.

I established Macaulay Consulting in 2023 to facilitate meaningful change within organisations dedicated to improving health and wellbeing.

I draw on decades of experience in strategy, planning, improvement, innovation and leadership in the health sector.

I have the tools, sector knowledge, skills, and heart to work with leaders and teams to realise meaningful change. Emotional intelligence, neuro-leadership frameworks and brain science underpin my approach to facilitation and consulting.

 I hold a Post Graduate Qualifications in Clinical Service Redesign (UTAS) and Certificates as an Emotional Culture Practitioner, i4 Neuro-leadership trainer (About My Brain Institute - in progress) and Psychological Safety and Care (The Leaders Lab).
