BIO
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.

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.
‘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)
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.
