Tamie Hall Coaching
I’m Tamie Hall, a 43-year-old mother of two adult children and a proud grandmother of two amazing grandchildren. My journey hasn’t been a straight path; it’s been a tapestry of challenges, growth, and profound discoveries.
For 23 years, I was a young single mother, navigating the complexities of raising a family on my own. I was born in South Australia, grew up on the surf coast of Victoria in Geelong, and now I call the serene landscapes along the Murray River in rural Victoria my home.
My professional journey began 17 years ago in the field of social work. I worked in the homelessness sector, working with vulnerable families, and youths in transitional housing. Seeking new horizons, I moved to the Northern Territory and spent two and a half years on the Tiwi Islands, where I managed a club and bistro, immersing myself in a unique community and culture.
Returning to Victoria I gained further experience in working at the Orange Door and particularly working with men in groupwork programs. This gave me great insight into a range of mindsets and the ways in which men understand and experience their relationships, working life and sense of self.
