Meet Gillian Drew
Hi there – I’m Gillian,
Lovely to meet you! So you know who you’re talking to when you're ready to reach out – here’s a little about me…
I’m a born problem-solver, always looking for patterns, connections, relationships, and solutions that create order from chaos. I’m also a Gemini which beautifully captures my on-the-go personality with an innate need to have several projects on the go at once! And while I’m not a die-hard astrologer (actually, I know very little about it) I love the duplicity of the Gemini sign which totally reflects my ability to move between logic (‘geek’) and intuitive woo.
I’m a country girl and still love farm life, although these days I do very little hands on. My problem-solving logic took me from the country environment into a world of information and records management: systems, structure, processes, and project management. Everyday I’d help people organise their business information, so they could find what they wanted when they needed it. I loved connecting people with their solution!
Paralleled with my corporate career was a growing interest in personal development, healing, and the relationship between emotions and physical health. It was a whole new world of patterns, connections, relationships, and problem solving - and I loved it! So, I left corporate and retrained in coaching, kinesiology, aromatherapy, meditation teaching, numerology, and massage…and found myself back in a problem-solving career – but this time it was helping people create order out of the chaos of their lives.

I love my job. I love helping people discover what they want and make the changes that need to happen to get there. It’s a fantastic combination of project management and soul-searching (i.e. logic and woo) – right up my alley! It's a soul-deep amazing feeling to see someone shift from not knowing who they are or what they want to do with their life, to absolute clarity, commitment and action. To be in the same room with someone as they go from strung out, stressed, and emotional to calm, relaxed, and connected. To hear stories from clients of their personal successes and achievements as they live the life they truly love. It's absolutely awesome!
In 2020, a new part of my business emerged when I trained as an end-of-life doula. In the years prior to this, I found myself energetically or physically drawn to the bedsides of those who were dying. Often there was a conversation between us as I listened to their concerns or anxieties about dying, or I was simply holding the space for them to be as they were. Following the death of my aunt, who was a grief counsellor and founder of palliative care services in Goulburn, I discovered there was a name for what I was doing - it was an end-of-life doula. I like to think this discovery was my aunt gently passing the candle on to me to continue some of what she started. Death and dying are major changes for the person on the end-of-life journey and for their family and friends travelling with them. I am honoured to be able to play a role in supporting these people as they journey.
If you have any questions for me, please drop me a line at gillian@soulexperience.com.au.
Take care of yourself,
Warm regards
Gillian
