Katrina Mason
(BSocSc, GradCert Grief, Loss and Trauma Counselling)
After working in the “helping” industry myself for 20 years I founded Sustainability in Service in 2017.
What I do has a unique focus on supporting frontline workers and other care professionals to manage burnout and overwhelm. I still love it and continue to offer support for this unique group through speaking, training and individual SUPER-Vision.
As a cancer survivor and bereaved parent, I have know the beauty and the challenges this crazy life can serve up. I love to use my life experience and wisdom to inspire joy and optimism in others.
I describe myself as a Radical Optimist.

Michelle Kent
(GradDipPsych, GradDipHumServ)
After more than 20 years working as a psychologist, I founded Empowr Health Collective to create a space that honours both the science of what we do and the human doing it.
In 2020, my own experience of breast cancer taught me that life is too short to take ourselves too seriously… and too important not to take care of the parts of us that get left behind.
I’m a straight talker who laughs easily, and I believe some of the most powerful shifts happen when we soften, connect, and allow ourselves to be real.
I bring this into my work through creativity, nature, and real connection — creating spaces where people can step out of the pressure of always holding it together and reconnect with themselves.
Like many in the helping professions, I know what it’s like to give a lot and stretch yourself a bit too thin.
I don’t dwell on what’s been hard. I take what I’ve learnt and keep moving forward — with heart, humour, and a genuine love for the work I do.
