I believe in deeply traversing identity and Ancestral pathways. 

Being in truthful relationship with who we are, who and where we come from and where we are now. 

All of this knowledge is woven into the fabric of our lives - in our body and in the lands we come from and occupy.  

I hold dear our living and reciprocal relationships with Country and the responsibility to act with mutual respect and reverence.  

I hold deep respect for the mysteries. 

I value the intangible knowing that is revealed in whispers, rhythms, dreams, music, feelings, tingling insights and uncanny moments interspersed through depths and undercurrents. 

I understand that we have access to consciousness and knowledge that live beneath the surface of our day-to-day analytics, rationalisations, patterns, thoughts, worries, diagnoses, traumas, judgements and beliefs. 

This is powerful, textured, multifaceted and endlessly creative.  

It is not simple to access, yet… there is capacity to. 

I love to share the ways I have re-membered how to do this, with you.

I support you to trust what is ‘known’ in you.

I am a matrilineal First Nations Dhudhuroa and Wamba Wemba woman with patrilineal Greek heritage and Ancestral pathways to Wabenaki, Lenape and European bloodlines.

I am a mother of two, Warrawi, leadership consultant, language researcher, movement artist, facilitator, non-practising lawyer and actor.

I am 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 consulting with Coming to Life and the Regenerative Leader. 

I support people to recognise and work from strength, clarity and integrity with alive and innate intelligence.

This process ignites conscious restoration of relational equilibrium internally, and resonates and reflects externally, in our footprint, integral action and connections including with Country and Mother Earth. 

Everything is interconnected.

Each footprint leaves giant marks. 

What will yours be?

Warrawi Consulting in alive intelligence ~ a paradigm we know deep in our bones

 My methodology and practice brings intergenerational and embodied knowledge into relationship with contemporary leadership. 

It is shaped through deep listening with alive intelligence rooted in multi faceted formal qualifications and Ancestral and cultural heritage knowledge systems from law, language, artistry, dance, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, meditation and yoga alongside 30 years of continuous deep practice-led research and contemplative inquiry.  

 I consult with leaders, individuals and organisations facilitating recognition of what lies in the undercurrents and attunement with the intelligence, strengths and capacities that are alive within but dormant. 

This strengths-based approach develops introspection, reflective practice, awareness, discerning clarity, creativity and relational intelligence, leading to impact that is authentic, responsible and reciprocal with respect for the whole ecosystem. 

Working together

Our work together creates space for you to lead from what is whole, strong, intelligent and alive within you - whether that is in your personal, professional, communal or organisational roles. 

Through facilitated awareness, deep listening, embodied inquiry and honest reflection, you strengthen your relationship with your spirit/centre, clarify what matters and develop the presence to lead with courage, integrity and discernment.

This is leadership that is felt in your choices, relationships and ways of working. You become better able to hold complexity, build trust, invite the strengths of others and act with purpose—creating a wider impact across your organisation, community and the living systems of which you are part.

 

Risk sharing your beautiful, profound and integral gifts of creative expression and impact in the world. 


Achieve the generational benefits of investing in alive intelligence.


If you are ready, connect.

 

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.
