About

​

For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep interest in holistic healing.

​

Growing up surrounded by addiction and unhealed trauma, I found myself wandering through life without direction.  My quest for understanding led me to study a variety of holistic therapies including kinesiology, massage therapies, aromatherapy and breathwork.  

​​

I began my professional training in somatic psychotherapy in 2004, seeking a deeper understanding of the effects of personal and generational trauma.  I spent over a decade learning about the intimate relationship between our mind and body through movement, breath and awareness.  These practices remain at the core of my work with my clients.

​

​

My somatic training also included therapeutic touch, energy healing and creative therapies.

​

​​I am a professional member of the Australian Counselling Association and engage in ongoing learning and supervision with trauma specialists and leaders in the fields of healing and post-traumatic growth.
