Sometimes you tell the story, and sometimes the story tells you. Story work is the dance of listening, creating and communicating from the space in between.


Unfailingly kind and fiercely devoted, Tina is a tenacious listener committed to sensing, seeing and serving the story within. Her rich laughter and her joyful sense of wonder are eclipsed only by her perceptive insights. By operating in her gifting, she draws out the gifting of others.  She invites and welcomes the shyest of stories to make themselves seen. But do not be fooled. She is a risk taker and a risk maker; she does not allow her clients to ignore or gloss over the nudges or the glaring jolts of what is emerging for them. Wisdom is attended to. Truth is served. Mystery is honored. She is a Master of her craft. The crafter of stories. There is no one like TinaO.

Christina Benty, Strategic Leadership Solutions


At her core, Tina is a storyteller with an ability to see right into you and pull the story of who you ARE out of your deepest hiding places, enabling you to run where you could previously only crawl. She is a fireball of delight, in whose presence you feel heard, seen, understood and ALIVE.

Something indescribable happens when you feel safe, supported, and protected. You allow yourself to remember. To honour The Story, your story. Sometimes it’s painful when healing is present. The fullest expression of the gift that is our life happens with the time, space, and teachers needed to remember our whole story. Her patience, kindness, devotion to Story and innate gifts as a listener and story keeper are like nothing I have ever experienced before.

One of the greatest human needs is the need to be witnessed. Tina creates and holds sacred safe space for me to share my story. She asks thoughtful clarifying questions, so she deeply understands my share and then she offers observations that help me to get clear and challenges me to go deeper and expand my perspective. In a society where everything is moving faster, taking the time to slow down with Tina has been invaluable.
