Philosophy & Vision
Do you want to get to the root cause of your challenges? Are you ready for sustainable change through inner work? Are you yearning to transform your relationship to yourself & those around you? I support uncommonly curious, sensitive, and deep feeling humans access truth, authenticity & freedom from within. I meet you in the depths of your inner world, so that you can dissolve shame, welcome home the suppressed parts of yourself & return to a sense of wholeness & humanness.
I work with both adults and youth aged 8-18 years old.
With adults, the focus of our sessions is to gain awareness and integration of your unconscious patterning through body inquiry, inner-work, and the relational field.
With youth aged 8-18, I offer a warm, supportive and person-centred approach. Sessions are designed to support young people in building the emotional & social skills they need to feel more confident, connected & resilient
Background
I have a background in women's health naturopathy, 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 youth with emotional/social skills. I also work in private practice offering naturopathy, psychotherapy & womb massage. I bring both my lived experience & 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, & 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.
