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.

Take a quiet moment for yourself. Speak gently, offer patience, and wrap yourself in the same kindness you’d give a friend. 💜

At Phoenix Wings, we believe self-kindness is an act of care that fuels your creativity, calm, and connection for tomorrow. ⭐️

Phoenix Brave (formerly Cool Cats Club) 🌈

Our Phoenix Brave program is an eight-week expressive arts and counselling group designed to support children aged 6–12 who experience separation anxiety, or who would benefit from gently building connection and social skills in a safe, supportive environment.

Inspired by the idea of an “invisible string” that keeps us connected to the people who care about us, this program helps children explore feelings, relationships, and confidence through creative activities, mindfulness, and guided discussions.

Across the 8 weeks, children will explore:
• Understanding connection and the Invisible String
• Building confidence with saying goodbye and reunion
• Recognising emotions in the body
• Developing social skills and safe relationships
• Celebrating their support networks and community

🌈Wednesdays, starting 11th February
🌈4:00pm – 5:00pm
🌈 Phoenix Wings Wellness, Albury

Includes all art materials, handouts, snacks, and expert support. Concessions may be available for private-paying families.

If your child would benefit from extra support with confidence, connection, and emotional expression, we’d love to welcome them into Phoenix Brave. Enquire today to learn more or secure a place.

Physical Disability Awareness 💜

Sunday, February 1st, marked Physical Disability Awareness Day, and it’s a reminder that awareness isn’t something we pause after one day. It’s something we practice daily through listening, learning, and creating spaces where everyone belongs.

At Phoenix Wings Wellness, we are committed to being a space of belonging, respect, and accessibility, where people are welcomed exactly as they are, and where access needs are seen, valued, and supported.

Belonging should never be conditional. Accessibility should never be an afterthought. 🤍

✨ Neurodivergent Women Connect ✨

An invitation to our new circle for neurodivergent women, where diagnosed and self-diagnosed experiences are equally valid.

Facilitated by Renee Simmons, Psychotherapist, this group offers a safe, supportive space to meet, connect, and be yourself alongside other neurodivergent women.

Being a neurodivergent woman can come with unique challenges, especially when diagnosis comes later in life. This circle is about feeling less alone, understanding ourselves more deeply, sharing stories, and having a little fun along the way 💚

Neurodivergent Women Connect is open to women 18+ in the Albury/Wodonga and surrounding areas.

💚 Monday 23rd February 2026
💚 6:30pm
💚 Phoenix Wings Wellness, Albury
💚 Approx. 90 minutes
Our first session will focus on getting to know one another, exploring what you’d like to get out of the group, and deciding how often we’ll meet.

Hello February 🤩
February invites us to move beyond self-love and into something softer:

🩷 Self-kindness.
🩷 Rest without guilt.
🩷 Boundaries that protect your energy.
🩷 Patience for the days that feel heavy.

Loving yourself doesn’t always look bold or confident. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, being gentle with your inner voice, and giving yourself permission to simply be ✨

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.
