THE REAL DEAL 

The song THE REAL DEAL  has become a springboard for open discussion and expression with people coming together to share stories and walk the healing journey together through the creative arts.  It has come as a response to the increasing rate of depression, anxiety and suicide across Australia and the need to talk about what’s really going on.

The snap-bands serve as a reminder of the positive message in the song.  Anytime someone is feeling down they can snap the band on their wrist as a distraction from negative thoughts and as a reminder that they are loved no matter what!

THE REAL DEAL is a heartbeat for connection and community, to see restoration, to sing and heal together, to listen and be heard, to be accepted and real with each other as we journey life together.  I know we can’t change the past but we sure can make a better future !!!

My Story

I’ve personally experienced the healing power of a song to lift me out of a heavy place. My hope is that my songs and particularly THE REAL DEAL will do the same for you. I suffered head trauma, PTSD and had multiple injuries that sent my life spiralling downwards. I can now say that through family, community, professional help, divine intervention and lots of love from beautiful caring people, I’m back up again and the sunshine is brighter than ever before!

Thankfully we don’t have to stay in the valleys of life, we can just keep walking through them and before too long we’re on a mountain top singing again!!!!
