A bit more...
I've been a TV presenter and singer for 25 years. 3 years ago I took my first leap into TV production. I had a deep desire to put positive mental health messaging on our screens after experiencing the debilitating effects of poor mental health myself.
With no formal training, I felt my way through and have now finished my 3rd season of Destination Happiness which airs nationally on Channel 9 and internationally on the Discovery Channel.

Destination Happiness TV Show - Channel 9
Destination Happiness is my passion project. After suffering with debilitating anxiety and depression in my late 20's I vowed to understand what got me into that state, how I could get out of it and how I could stay out of it.
My research led me to understand is that happiness is a skill you can practice and get better at.
I decided to combine my passion for mental health with my current career in television and hence came up with the concept for Destination Happiness. I describe it as Oprah meets Better Homes and Gardens. Fast moving predictable segments that inspire, uplift, educate and support.
We have now finished our 3rd season nationally on Channel 9 and it has just started selling around the world on the Discovery network.
You can watch the current series on catch up TV 9now.com.au/destination-happiness or individual segments on our Destination Happiness youtube channel.
