Kym McGregor (Company Director)

Vivienne Golding (Company Director)

Vivienne spent many years of her life as an elite athlete, Australian champion white-water, slalom paddler who competed in numerous world championships.  She knows what it takes to be a champion and when you meet her you will realise she knows how to help you find your own champion self.  In 1994 Vivienne was struck and run over by a truck whilst riding her bicycle, and she broke her pelvis in eight places. The medical team who took care of Vivienne were stunned that she survived the accident and suggested she may have difficulty walking.  Almost ten years later, Vivienne not only totally challenged the views of the medical team, but she has also healed her injuries and now teaches others the process and strategies she used on her amazing healing journey.  Vivienne is a strong advocate of the need to resolve emotional issues in order to heal your body and the power of setting goals to take control and move your life in the direction you desire it to go. Vivienne is a Life and Business Coach, Reflexologist and Feldenkrais Practitioner, and is a Co-Director of  KanuKapers Australia and Kanu Korporate.
