Story About
~Thaedra ~
I believe in Healing.
I've remembered, over deep time
through livingÂ
 practice led research
how to slow down
how to sense and feel
how to deeply listen to and attune toÂ
the rhythms, intelligence, language,
stories, health and wisdomÂ
interwoven in
body, mind, Spirit,
Ancestors and Country.Â
 I have remembered, over deep time
how to facilitateÂ
the subconsciousÂ
into profound consciousness
with respect and deep safety.
 to hold space for emergent and creative outcomes
to orient to innate healing intelligence and wholeness.Â
I believe in healing
in the wise and mysterious alchemyÂ
of the creative fabric of aliveness
I know this healing
The journey inward leads us home

Ombudsman for the body, mind and murrboa (spirit)
A paradigm of aliveness we know deep in our bones.

As a therapist and facilitator, I support you to attune to the innate health and healing intelligence of your physical, physiological, fluid, energetic, psychological, mental, intellectual and spiritual body and mind in the present moment. To reconnect with your murrboa (spirit) and explore your relationship with yourself, Ancestors, family and community and Country. Â
In our sessions we walk together meeting 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 wisdom of the body and Country.Â
‘Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves....Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past’. (Bessel A. van der Kolk)
Foundational skills include presence, deep listening, impartiality, curiosity, somatic intelligence, anatomical knowledge, therapeutic dialogue and communication skills, trauma informed frameworks, focussing, cultural integrity and awareness. Â
Sessions are tailored to your needs, aligned with intention and facilitating resourcing and reorganisation of the challenges and concerns you are encountering
Values
My values are reverence, presence, curiosity, integrity, mutual respect, acceptance and non judgement. I value Ancestral connection, understanding who we are, where we come from and our connection to where we are now, embodiment, lived experience, intuition, creative expression, celebration, joy and deep respect for the mysteries.
I offer processes that I have personally explored in depth over many years and have found deeply healing, 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 walk with you along your healing journey. Â
Reverent Acknowledgement to Country and First PeoplesÂ
