Hello,

My name is Gwen, and I am the founder and business owner of Influential Advisor.

My personal journey has been one of joy, sorrow, laughter, and challenge — much like most people. I have experienced homelessness, divorce, and abuse, yet I have also been blessed with profound spiritual awakenings, deep joy, and adventurous experiences that brought incredible growth.

These life-changing moments opened my mind and reshaped my path. Through it all, I became empowered. I filled my mind with knowledge and developed an unshakable thirst for growth and adventure.

Life can shift in unexpected and wonderful ways once we step into our power.

I wish you well, and I want you to know — if I can do it, so can you.

Warmly,
Gwen

My Journey

Before stepping fully into my healing and teaching workshops and courses, my path was rich and diverse.

I was employed with the New Zealand Police for several years — an experience that gave me resilience, insight into human nature, and a deep understanding of people from all walks of life. I later co-founded and operated a successful tourist business in New Zealand for 15 years, developing strong leadership, business acumen, and a love for adventure.

Alongside this, I pursued studies in natural therapies, following a growing inner calling toward holistic healing. I am also a proud mother of three, a role that has been one of my greatest teachers.

Eventually, I felt guided to begin a new chapter in Australia. I settled in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, where I continued studying natural therapies and established my own practice. As my work grew, clients began asking me to teach. I created courses and discovered a deep passion for imparting knowledge — something I continue to cherish today.

One of the most profound experiences of my life was travelling to the Australian desert and staying at Ernabella, now known as Pukatja. There, I spent time with Indigenous desert communities and slept under the stars in a traditional swag on sacred women’s ceremony land. I was deeply honoured and grateful for the knowledge shared with me about their history and Dreamtime — wisdom that strengthened my spiritual connection and respect for ancient traditions.

Later, I moved to the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. There, I volunteered at a shelter supporting homeless teenagers while simultaneously establishing my practice. My work continued to evolve as I supported clients as a Hypnotherapy Practitioner, Qi Gong Energy Healer, and Psychic/Medium Reader.

Each chapter of my life — from law enforcement to business ownership, from sacred desert lands to community service — has shaped the practitioner and teacher I am today.

I bring lived experience, compassion, grounded wisdom, and spiritual insight to everything I do.

And I continue to walk this path with humility, gratitude, and a passion for supporting others to step into their own empowerment.

Experience, Intuition & Global Reach

With over 35 years of experience and qualifications, I have dedicated my life to supporting people in their healing, growth, and empowerment. Today, I work with clients all over the world, offering guidance, clarity, and transformation across cultures and continents.

From an early age, I experienced what many would call a “sixth sense.” This intuitive gift was also present in my grandmother, and I believe it is part of my lineage — a sensitivity and awareness that allows me to tune in deeply and compassionately to others. It is a gift I honour and use with integrity to support souls worldwide.

My independent travels have taken me across Europe, the United Kingdom, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States of America, along with many other countries. These journeys have broadened my understanding of people, cultures, and the shared human experience.

I hold a particular passion for supporting women. There have been many times in my own life when I faced significant challenges that left me feeling isolated and alone. What made the difference was having wise, gifted healers and counsellors supporting me from outside the situation.

Having someone impartial, grounded, compassionate, and experienced — can be essential in restoring balance, clarity, and inner strength.

It is my honour to offer that support to others.

— Gwen
