Philosophy & Vision
Do you want to get to the root cause of your challenges? Are you ready for sustainable change through inner work? What I offer is a somatic approach to sustainable nervous system resilience. I support uncommonly curious, sensitive, and deep feeling humans to access truth, authenticity and freedom from within. I help you develop a safe, loving relationship with your body & mind so that you can transform your relationship to yourself, others and get to embrace the wholeness of this human experience.
I use a somatic approach to therapy, bridging the worlds of somatic inquiry and parts work. In session, we will explore your relationship to yourself and the world around you. This process relies on the wisdom of the body in the moment, and the purpose of the work I offer is to gain awareness and integration through body inquiry, inner-work and the relational field.
Background
I have a background in women's health naturopathy & herbal medicine, and then I moved into the field of mental health at the end of 2019. I work as a counsellor in 2 different schools, supporting children and I also work in private practice offering naturopathy, psychotherapy and womb massage. I bring both my lived experience and professional education into the work that I do. My own personal development journey over the past 10 years, including years of receiving therapy in different psychotherapeutic modalities, silent meditation retreats, nature-based vision quests, embodiment workshops, and other personal initiations shapes a lot of my knowledge. I combine all of this rich knowledge with years of formal institutional study.
Services
I work in person and offer 1:1 sessions from a private treatment space in Byron Bay Industrial Estate. I also practice online via google meet. Book in via my website.
I offer a free 15 minute connection call to see if we are a right fit for one another.
I also offer naturopathy & womb massage consults for women's reproductive health.
