Complete and process the event (or developmental) trauma so that your body moves out of survival mode and into a space where you can begin to recollect and reclaim your capacity to thrive.

I’ve been facilitating 1 on 1 residential retreats in the beautiful mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland since 2003. With a degree in Biochemistry and an initial background as a naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist my focus then turned to Emotional Wellness in response to the imminent sharing of painful, traumatic experiences and shedding of emotions that retreat clients were naturally expressing during their retreat.
Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy became the choice of therapy to train in, in order to best serve my clients’ healing. I also undertook Exceptional Marriage Mentoring Certification so I can facilitate effective couples therapy. In your Individual or Couples sessions with me you can expect to free up more energy, rest in your integrity, develop deeper connection and to relish living on purpose.
My Main Qualifications include:
I’ve also published a variety of books in the spirituality and self-development genre, created healing card decks and guided healing CDs. Roll on embody oils that support specific types of psychological wounds are sometimes used as an adjunct to somatic psychotherapy.
