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.

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.  

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. 

‘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.  

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've relearned, remembered over time how to attune with and deeply listen to, the rhythms, intelligence, language, stories and wisdom interwoven in body, Ancestors and Country and to align with the path of my Spirit.
