Dr Cher McGillivray is an Assistant Professor at Bond University, Director of Seed of Hope Psychology, Keynote Speaker, Author, Researcher and Musician committed to helping individuals flourish for life. She is an advocate for children to be cared for and protected from violence, abuse, and neglect to develop in the best possible way.

Dr Cher shares her voice to begin to rebuild the human disconnect from self to focus on the person you want to be than the person you are always trying to fix. Her work stems from a desire to help individuals rebuild their lives passed down from intergenerational brokenness to a generation of wholehearted courageous families.

Communicating and connecting authentically with individuals is the key to breaking silence and suppression keeping many from living wholeheartedly if they keep safeguarding their self-authenticity rather than letting it transform them.
