Integrating the science of psychology with the wisdom of spirituality.

Words cannot express how blessed I am to be able to do this work and be able to touch people in this way. To be able to share something that is in my heart and expresses my Truth is a true honour and blessing. And to be able to do this for such beautiful souls on my path, who are also powerful healers and spiritual beings in their own right is truly humbling.

My path to facilitating crystal meditations and integrative therapy sessions has been an interesting one to say the latest. I have an honours degree in psychology and graduate qualifications in developmental trauma with more than 20 years experience in tHe field. I’ve worked 15 years in child protection, working with children, adolescents and their families and carers. I still consult in the industry and I am also a Member of the Board of a youth homelessness organisation.

It is my work with deeply troubled adolescents that ignited my deep passion in the neurobiology of trauma. And of course discovered that it affects every sphere of our lives - our learning, our relationships, parenting, mental as well as physical health. The list goes on.

I’ve also experienced more than my own fair share of trauma. My path to healing has been eclectic. Exploring many different modalities. Traditional psychology and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) did not work for me. For me, this type of psychology remains only embedded in the mind but does not reach the body. And while psychology is exploring somatic forms of therapy, it does not always reach the heart and it certainly neglects the soul. I find this extremely limiting. It is why I like to say that I am putting the psyche back into psychology. But also the heart. For without the holding space that compassion and the unconditional love of the Divine (expressed through a pure heart) gives, then healing can not occur, no matter the modality - spiritual, traditional, or otherwise.
