My name is Chandu Bickford and for over two decades I’ve supporting individuals, groups and organisations feel calm, clear and confident as they make and manage times of change.
Big Brave Heart is a culmination of 30 years of learning to listen to, trust and teach others how to use their intuition. I’ve taken some hard roads and made plenty of mistakes along the way, so the tools and techniques I share here are tried and true.
As an award winning mentor, speaker, coach and educator, I am honoured to create and facilitate a range of inspired and deeply practical programs that support women on their journey of self discovery. Whether you are just starting out on your path or have decades of experience, connecting with your Big Brave Heart can bring depth, clarity, meaning and satisfaction across all areas of your life. It will help you to live and love your self and your life more fully.

“This program has helped change my relationship with myself. I now know I need to stand by me in order to stand by others. I loved meeting with the amazing group of women each week. Our group became a constant source of invisible, powerful nurturing. “

“I loved the tools we learned, I also loved the sharing with the other women, the questions Chandu asked, the meditations and learning how to really prioritise myself. I see myself as more valuable, more worthy of my own attention, care, love and kindness. I would often treat strangers better than I used to treat myself.”

“Our group was so supportive… I’ve learned the the wisdom of self-care, the strength of a group of women doing internal work and the importance of deep enquiry. Chandu is grounded, well boundaries, has a great understanding of the human psyche and wonderful listening skills. Her sories were beautifully honest. My heart has softened and opened and I’m approaching challenges with more presence. I recommend this program and because it so good for the soul.”
Sal I – Inner Pilgrim Program

Chandu’s programs have been truly transformative for me. Her teachings, meditations, and insightful discussions within our heart-felt group of women created a life-changing experience. The journey of learning, coupled with the unwavering support and motivation, led to deep personal insights that left me inspired and empowered to navigate life’s transitions with newfound strength and clarity. I so look forward to doing this new program.

I loved this program so much I am coming back for more! Chandu’s program really helped me shed layers around my heart and open into places I hadn’t seen or felt for some time. It truly was a liberating and memorable experience. I am excited to see what this next iteration has in store for me. The reconnection with self (as a woman firmly planted in mid-life), other women in the group, and Chandu is priceless. Chandu is one of the most profound space holders and guides I have had the pleasure of working with.
Melody S – Inner Pilgrim Program
Practitioner
A space to listen, nurture and reflect is so hard to find. That’s why the opportunity to connect in with one of Chandu’s programs was so invaluable to me. Working with Chandu, amongst like-seeking women is such a privilege. An opportunity to challenge assumptions about myself or situations. An opportunity to connect, meditate and feel inspired.”
Elizabeth B – Inner Pilgrim Program

Working with Chandu has been pivotal to the growth and development of my business and myself. I have supported, challenged, encouraged and inspired – all ingredients that have helped me find out where I want to go, chart a course and actually arrive. Thank you Chandu.

“Things I am taking away from this program. A sense of my own power and possibility. A vision of how things could be. A listening to my deep needs. I loved the dedicated space week to work on myself. As a facilitator Chandu is Warm, real, funny, engaging, honest, intuitive and practices deep listening. “
