We would like to acknowledge traditional owners across the lands where Phoenix Wings Wellness operates, and pay our respects to Australia’s First Peoples, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hope of Aboriginal Australia and we commit to the ongoing work of reconciliation; and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families within our networks. Phoenix Wings Wellness recognises that family structures are diverse, including blended families, co-parents, rainbow families, step parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, grandparents, extended family members, carers and guardians. We appreciate and respect that many families experience multiple diversities, including race, sexuality, gender, faith, cultural, and people of all abilities. We hope to provide your family with the support and information you may require for you and your families to grow and thrive.

No matter what emotion shows up for you today – happiness, stress, sadness, or excitement – your body is always ready to move with you ✨

As the weather warms up, let the sunshine be your reminder to step outside, stretch, walk, or dance it out. Movement isn’t about “fixing” how you feel, it’s about giving your feelings space to flow. 🌿

I (Mel) have been truly privileged again this last week to be in Wagga at the CSU campus, teaching at the social work “theory into practice” subject, where we practiced several therapeutic interventions, discussed if/how they resonated with us, and if they would become a part of our social work tool box. What a wonderful group of students I had, they bore with me though losing my voice and me occasionally forgetting things, and we all walked out on Friday afternoon having learnt great things. My feedback from the group was that they felt safe due to the way I facilitated and how I made the space be inclusive and affirming, and they were able to make mistakes knowing there was no judgement. Couldn’t ask for better feedback, you were so awesome, thank you for the lovely flowers and gifts 💛 back to work and my email inbox in the morning!

The phoenix must burn to emerge...

Melanie holds a Masters in Social Work from La Trobe University, and has a special interest in trauma and domestic violence. She works well with a wide age range, but especially with children, adolescents and parents. Melanie previously worked as a Family Services Practitioner at Upper Murray Family Care, and is experienced at working with the whole family, with the view that our relationships with others, especially our families, impact significantly on our capacity to grow and heal. Melanie is able to bulk bill services when a MHTP and (GP) referral is provided, and incorporates creative expression in to her sessions as required.

Melanie completed her Certificate of Initiatic Art Therapy in April 2015 with the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy & School for Initiatic Art Therapy, and the Certificate of Clay Field Therapy on May 22nd, 2016. At the beginning of 2017, Melanie enrolled at MIECAT to begin her Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice.

Mel help clients to resolve their presenting psychological problems, the associated social and other environmental problems, and improve their quality of life. This may involve family as well as individual counselling, and group therapy (some groups may be run on a regular basis). She recognises the broader implications of an individual having a mental illness and the impact on friends, family, work and education. Mel welcomes diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.
