Can you guess what THIS 👆🏻 is????

Such a simple thing, yet it is guaranteed to…..

🔹Release the fascia in your body in the most unbelievable way (which we now believe holds and carries the emotion throughout the body - releasing the Fascia = release of emotion - think MIND-BODY connection)

🔸Stretch you out in every direction!

🔹Bring a HUGE smile to your face! Exercise has never been so fun! Bring out the Inner Child within you!

🔸Bathe your brain in cerebral spinal fluid leading to the most amazing natural ‘high’ feeling (due to the inversions)

🔹Soothe and relax you (nervous system regulation) due to the vestibular motion

🔸Enable you to get into yoga postures you didn’t think possible in such a supported way, so empowering and uplifting!

Have you guessed yet?!

I could have reached for the phone and the news at 5am on waking today, read about the horror unfolding from afar, set a terrible tone for my day before my Pilates class…..I did NOT.

I made a different choice because I am able to…… I felt my bare feet in the wet grass, I was gifted with a sunrise, the full moon resplendent in the morning sky and a glorious rainbow. All in one beautiful morning. And guess what?

…I feel grounded, centred, grateful for all my blessings. My mind is NOT focussed on things over which I have no control. It is instead focussed on the present moment here with me.
Embodied, Present. Grateful.

Don’t listen to news, if you don’t have to - listen to the birds.
Don’t look at the news, if you don’t have to - look at the sky.

I promise, it’s better for you. ✨

Now more than ever, we can all feel the weight of the World on our shoulders….if we let it. If we wake up, reach for the phone, distract, doom scroll, come from a place of comparison, fake post, boast, want more, overlook what we have, be inauthentic, or conversely keep ourselves small…..obsessively follow news or the path of others….what matters is here, now, your heart, your mind, your path and your community.

Now more than ever, it’s important to build community, to turn to one another, to love each other and ourselves, to shine our own LIGHT ✨, to care for ourselves and one another.

Love always wins.
Feeling our feelings is critical.
Empathy is critical.
Feeling seen and heard is critical.
Kindness is critical.
Being in nature is critical.
Community and belonging is critical.
All of it is free.
All of it gives more dopamine and the good stuff than any phone/game/fake post/ shopping/gamble/drink/drug ever could. Fact.

Those that are suffering would likely ask us to appreciate our freedoms and our privileges in their name - to take it for granted arguably, is to dishonour them.

Gratitude, presence, caring for wildlife and nature, one another - that is where the alchemy and healing happens. The more of us that engage in that, the greater the ripple effect. As above, so below 💫

Even if you don’t truly feel it - smile, ground your being, turn toward instead of away. The brain understands the signals even if it isn’t sincerely felt within- it will be eventually - ever heard the term ‘fake it til you make it?!’.

Ask for help if you need. Give help if you can. You are not alone. We are One.

Love and kindness and all the things is always there somewhere, you just have to ask and be open to receive.

They say that ‘Happiness is an Inside Job’…. And to be honest, it largely is. We alone are responsible for making the choice to do our inner work and tend to our own healing. That said, we often are not shown or modelled HOW to do that work when we were young or developing - how to self regulate, how to express healthily and honour our own needs or know they will safely be met - it became more about survival and behavioural adaptations instead - taking us away from the true Self - that is where guidance from a therapist can help you back on to the right course; to reconnect with who you are inside and release the old stories in the body holding you back.

A wonderful client said to me yesterday after our EMDR session “I feel I sit taller, stronger, more expanded and in control every time (sic after EMDR) from the inside”.

THAT was like sweet music to my ears as a healer. What a joyous concept - that this therapy, this guidance, could assist this person to have self autonomy restored, inner healing and a sense of agency handed back after years of feeling small, anxious, unseen, lacking a sense of control, not really knowing who they are inside.

We are all like the lotus flower wanting to rise from the muddy depths of the pond…… wanting to turn her face to the sun - we just have to let go, take the brave steps and plunge through into uncertainty - the cost of a meaningful life - to embrace the goodness that awaits right there ✨

Tonight I went inward for my own self care and immersed in a beautiful healing and heard a plant sing - truly - they had a special machine that could interpret the rhythmic tone of the plant - amazing! The life is always full of surprises and new and wonderful things 🤩🌱😍✨ thank you for a beautiful experience!

This touched my heart oh so deeply today.

Sooooo true.

Love, light, purity, goodness, it will always win ultimately.

In amongst the chaos there is still soooo much joy, so much love, you just have to stop, notice and take it in, or be with it. It’s there.

Keep loving, keep shining, keep gooding (is that a word?!?)

We don’t need more things, we need more love, connection, belonging. That’s healing. ✨

Beautiful weekend settling in to my new home with my best friend. So fitting that I arrived on Valentines Day, a day to celebrate love, to lands that I love so much.

So grateful to finally lay my hat and heart on Gubbi Gubbi country and pay my respects to the Jinibara people, the tradition custodians of this land; and the elders past, present and future for the privilege of being here.
It is a dream I have held since the year 2001!

The sense of freedom, peace and bliss I feel is hard to describe. I feel a huge amount of resonance here - It has been a calling and my Heart and Soul is dancing!

In terms of service - I am here to offer my skills as an EMDR therapist and Psychotherapist. I am a trauma specialist and work from a Parts Perspective, Attachment Based Perspective, Nervous System Based Perspective, Somatics, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Process Oriented Psychology and of course, advanced EMDR trained Therapist. I’m also trained in many other modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Family Constellations etc.

I’m Accredited with the AASW, EMDRAA and Medicare - therefore rebates are available via a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or your Health Insurance (if appropriately covered)

I have many years of experience in this field and am highly intuitive and integrative in my approach. I work on the basis of deep healing and restoring a person to a sense of inner peace and ‘wholeness’. I am often able to help when most other talk therapies have failed you. Working with the mind, body and spirit is essential - they are interconnected.

I will be seeing people in person or via Telehealth on a part time basis, and am newly opening my schedule here on the Sunshine Coast with some availability as a result.

If you suffer with trauma, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, life transitions, etc I am here to help. Please enquire here or visit my webpage for more info - I’d love to hear from you!
