	sessions

︎ My work is focused on embracing the experience of being in our humanity—viewing and interrogating the multitude of our human parts and experiences to meet our full Selves.


	This process allowed me to fully meet myself and heal through breast cancer and motherhood; I came to understand myself as a human containing multitudes, forming a foundation to disrupt, question and lead from. I came to understand this as the full experience of being alive.
 So, I have made this my work. I aim to support individuals in understanding the depth of human experience and Self, to release, meet and re-meet themselves.&#38;nbsp;
 I acknowledge that my work, and my experience of being alive, will continue to evolve.

I tailor therapy to what is best suited to each client, some of my approaches are:

Intuitive guidance: to guide intuitively, based on somatic wisdom and ritual (such as oomancy).&#38;nbsp;Holistic counselling: to heal and integrate, considering the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being.
Life coaching: to support meaning making, life connection, balance and mindset, through structured guidance and narrative therapy.&#38;nbsp;
'Parts work' (Internal Family Systems): to reduce and release emotional stress, integration of self, and self-actualisationSauna therapy: release, recovery, health.Energy healing (Spinal Energetics): to release stored emotions and blocksCommunication therapy (Speech Pathology): to support social, personal and relational communication.

* Medicare rebates available through a CDM at the GP, please contact me for more information.
* Assessments such as personality tests or screening for specific communication disorders are available on request.

	︎ All of this in practice means I may use a combination of approaches, such as cognitive-behaviour therapy and standardised assessments or tools, as well as more intuitive parts-work, writing-based approaches and/or energy work (Spinal Energetics) to support your unique needs and goals. When combined, research has shown the above to improve interpersonal relationships, lower anxiety and depression, lead to high life connection and meaning, and improve social networks, positive coping strategies, and sense of Self.

writing / books

︎&#38;nbsp;I’m beginning to write and speak more about the philosophy of psychology—critical thought on the psychological basis of human beings and their behaviour. More on this soon.
 


	Most recently, I lived in Berlin and completed a one-year poetry mentorship with American Poet Sarah Larsen, where I found joy in the experimentation and study of poetry.Previously, I wrote about traditional wisdom and our day-to-day experience with our surroundings, including the application of trade/bartering systems and the integration of other forms of traditional wisdom within a modern context.I co-wrote two award-winning books, Grown &#38;amp; Gathered (2016) and The Village (2018). You can find thoughts on these publications online, such as here.We hope to create an updated and reviewed version of our books soon. I spent a lot of time creating the content for my two impact-led companies: @grownandgathered and @minimumwines.I also wrote for magazines, and the highlight for me was writing regular columns for the ABC (Australia), Smith Journal and Dumbo Feather. You can see examples here and here.  Before all of that, I wrote a thesis paper on "Goal-oriented behaviour in Autism".

To be seen,

Where they wilt,
Falling onto the breakfast table, 
Or into the hands of another.

It is often the smallest flitter of the flower, 
Or the intangible feeling of togetherness, 
That is the ruthless value,
That we need to be brave enough,
To prioritise.

	THE SPARROWS.
_
1.
8 sparrows, 
Flit, 
Independently together as they peck downwards, 
Each making way for the other,
Seamless, 
Progressing forward, 
Each one,
And secondly, 
Subconsciously as a group.

They do not once seem to expect anything of the other, 
Or look upward to ask,
“Excuse me, please be gentler with your worm”, 
Or to request slower eating. 
If there were a word,
That was to be so very responsible for yourself,
That you are beautiful,
It would belong to them,
Maybe it is elegant, 
I am not sure. 

2. 
As they flit,
They by default,
Take responsibility for the whole,
Each energy,
As if a forcefield that moves them all together. 

They do not proclaim,
That their souls are dirty,
And must be taken somewhere,
To be scrubbed clean.
Nor stop to anguish, 
Or cry out for penance.
As their entire,
Tiny world,
Would collapse.

	THE PARTS OF WONDER, THAT ASK ME TO BE HERE.
_
If I were to cuddle the moon,
Who would know if I was cuddling it, 
The right way up,
Or the wrong way down,
Who would be able to say, 
The right way to cuddle the moon?

	Collection 2 Together In Personhood
Reflections and observations, from living deeply in togetherness. How can we learn to live more deeply together? How do we meet nature, ourselves, each other, everyday?
This collection began as I moved to Italy, and found myself transcribing the lessons, beauty, and learnings within everyday moments, as I was held in a life of community and traditions of unity.
I began to understand the true feeling of belonging, and honour this solidarity we have as human beings to be alive; beyond loss, with nature, to share with each other, to adapt, to meet each other in togetherness.
Feeling a compulsion, a feeling as though if I didn’t, key lessons would be lost, I began to document. These are those stories. *(Mostly unedited).

	MINA.
_
She took an intentional moment, 
To step into the space between us, 
Maybe hoping to create a body of water in which we could swim,
or even a bridge.

 I sensed her sounds, 
her footsteps echoing within the village streets—lined by colourful houses, 
colours to match the nature in which it sits. 

 As she laid down a doormat to line my doorway, 
and a plant to sit beside it,
I peered over the edge of my window ledge,
perhaps catching a moment I wasn’t to see.
I saw the world in that moment, 
a place where we are each responsible for the beating of each other's hearts. 

 The cold air no longer felt cold, 
As if I was lined with blankets, 
The sound of a kettle filled my ears, 
I could see its steam, 
My senses heightened to the street that connected us.

 She created, 
an entire highway, 
For us to go between.
