About Thaedra

~Thaedra ~

I've remembered, over deep time

through living 

 practice led research

how to slow down

how to sense and feel

how to deeply listen to and attune to 

the rhythms, intelligence, language,

stories, health and wisdom 

interwoven in

body, mind, Spirit,

Ancestors and Country. 

  I have learned through deep time

how to facilitate 

the subconscious 

into profound consciousness

with respect and deep safety

 to hold space for emergent and creative outcomes

to orient to innate healing intelligence and wholeness

to support you to be in presence.

I believe in healing

in the wise and mysterious alchemy 

of the creative fabric of aliveness

I know this alive intelligence

The journey inward leads us home.

 I am a matrilineal First Nations Dhudhuroa and Wamba Wemba woman with patrilineal Greek cultural heritage along with cross cultural Ancestral bloodlines to Native American Wabenaki and Lenape and Europe.

I am a mother, Warrawi, Consultant, Lead Language Researcher, movement artist, facilitator, non-practicing lawyer and actor. 

I express the science, deep wisdom and intangible cultural heritage of my Ancestors with formal qualifications in law, arts, language, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, meditation and yoga with extensive practice led research, lived experience and Ancestral gifts in healing. 

Connect with alive intelligence

Grounded in First Nations practice led Ancestral and Contemporary wisdom

Lived Experience & structured qualifications.

Mediator for the body, mind and Spirit

A paradigm we know deep in our bones.

I facilitate realignment with alive intelligence, presence and creative action grounded in felt, embodied relationships with the interconnected landscapes of self (mind, body, Spirit), Country, community and Ancestors.

This process ignites restoration of health and equilibrium internally, and resonates and reflects externally, in our footprint, integral action and relationships including with Country and Mother Earth. Everything is interconnected. 

Each footprint leaves giant marks. What will yours be?

I have developed skills in presence, impartiality, deep listening, somatics, body intelligence, anatomical and nervous system expertise, therapeutic dialogue and communication, trauma informed frameworks, focussing, cultural integrity and awareness.  

I have been a consultant in the wise intelligence of the body and spirit for the past 18 years. Prior, I developed skills in impartial deep listening and facilitation as a qualified lawyer working in complaint resolution, policy, research and outreach for the Western Australian Ombudsman, Victorian Privacy Commissioner and Aboriginal Affairs.

I am currently the Dhudhuroa Lead Language Worker in the School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne. 

I work with a diverse range of individuals and organisations including facilitating with Coming to Life and the Regenerative Leader. 


As a consultant, I support you to attune to the innate health and intelligence of your physical, physiological, fluid, energetic, psychological, mental, intellectual and spiritual body and mind in the present moment. To reconnect with the alive intelligence of your murrboa (spirit) and explore your relationship with yourself, Ancestors, family and community and Country.  

In our sessions you are guided to meet you, in the moment, exactly as you are with curiosity, compassion, deep awareness and attunement to experience the mysterious and adaptive healing that emerges from the creative and innate alive intelligence of the body and Country. 

Values

My values are that we are part of Country and we have responsibility to listen to the alive intelligence with mutual respect and reverence, presence, curiosity, integrity, acceptance and non judgement. 

I value Ancestral connection, understanding who we are, where we come from and our connection to where we are now, embodied and alive intelligence, lived experience, intuition, creative expression, celebration, joy and deep respect for the mysteries.

I offer consultation that I have personally explored in depth over many years and have found deeply transformative, creative and resourcing in journeying through life including traversing shock, post traumatic stress, insomnia, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, pain, illnesses and injury to discovering, over and over again, a deep felt sense and experience of Spirit, understanding and awareness of myself, others, Country and Ancestors along with increasing inner strength, wholeness, joy and creative expression. 

I would love to share with you the gift of alive intelligence and walk with you in your journey in sharing your gifts and wise impact in the world 

Reverent Acknowledgement to Country and First Peoples 

I respectfully acknowledge the original custodians of the interconnected Country, land, skies, seas and waterways that I live and work on, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin nations.

I extend this deep reverence to all original First Nations Custodians of unceded Country. I pay respect to Elders of the past, the present and to future generations. To the Ancestors and to the profound wisdom and beauty of Country that holds, sustains and homes us.
