I’m so happy to be part of a fantastic new work as part of the BLEED art festival - Biennial Live Event in the Digital Everyday - though Arts House in Melbourne and the Campbelltown Arts Centre. Acclaimed artist Hannah Brontë’s work mi$$-Eupnea is a lush suite of audiovisual works focussing on the mode of breathing that occurs at rest – unconscious, unforced, meditative. mi$$-Eupnea asks you to take stock of the state of your own breath before inviting you to breathe with country. I so enjoyed being part of this work and the healing gifts that it’s bringing to the community in this festival 👏🏼🙏🏼

Hannah Brontë's lush new suite of audiovisual works invites you to breathe with the world around you.

Overwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change. But while the award-winning health journalist found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, when she looked for the equivalent of a 30-minute workout for her mental wellbeing, there was nothing.
Worried for the future mental health of her kids who were growing up amidst epidemics of stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, Shannon enlisted a team of scientists to put meditation to the test. Could learning to quiet our busy minds be the simple solution the world so desperately needs?
Throughout her year of living mindfully Shannon is poked, prodded, scanned and screened as she travels the world to interview 18 of the world’s leading mindfulness scientists and pioneers. But after a 30,000 kilometre journey from the bright lights of Manhattan to the dusty refugee camps of the Middle East, what begins as a self- experiment, transforms into a life-changing experience.
My Year of Living Mindfully is filled with compelling stories, groundbreaking science, and unexpected insights that go to the heart of what it means to be human in the twenty-first century.

But first, calm... 🙏🏼🌿 Our poor adrenals are getting a workout at the moment - fear of illness, lack of food & supplies, lost or interrupted livelihoods, mental health & safety demands of lockdown... there’s a huge demand on our survival systems right now. There’s a lot to do to take care of ourselves & loved ones. AND in the midst of it all, if we can find moments of calm and nourishment, it makes everything that needs doing that little bit more possible.
Like the memes say: fear is contagious, but so is calm. Let’s give ourselves permission to put this all in a box every so often, stash it on the shelf and immerse ourselves in the old things that feed our souls, that soothe us and lift us up. Switch off from the news updates for a bit, give yourself permission to trust that this vast swarm of humanity that we’re part of has got this covered in some way, and let your adrenals recover.
You’re going to come back to your action steps more fueled and centred, able to navigate your way better and be more present for yourself & loved ones. And you won’t be panic-buying mountains of toilet paper that will take you 5 years to get through 😉 Ground, centre & be nourished ✨🙏🏼🌿
Phone and Skype/Zoom counselling appointments available- DM for details 🌿

Wherever you are right now, self-isolating or distancing, in Australia or elsewhere in the world, appointments are available via phone or Skype/Zoom video session. We’ve had to make the difficult decision to wind up face-to-face appointments for now, which is tough as there’s nothing quite like being in the room together. We do know from research though, that therapeutic benefits from phone or video session are similar to face-to-face therapy. In this challenging time we’re in, do reach out for support if you’re really struggling, as many people are.
If you haven’t experienced this kind of session before, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised. I’ve had many people over the years start sessions this way and find them enormously beneficial, just for the positive shifts and changes in the work, let alone the flexibility of the phone/video format. And especially in this time, people I work with are taking this up easily as an easy substitute for in-person appointments. I’ve had it described as “great”, “really fluid”, “totally fine”, “no difference at all”, “wonderful”, “amazing to be in touch”, amongst many other reflections.
If you’re curious to see if it could work for you, or you want the support right now, just get in touch via DM or call/text +61 402 904 011. 15-minute initial consults are always available free to connect & see what could support you best, with of course no obligation. Our aim right now is to support and soothe our community as we move through this difficult time as best we can. Stay safe & grounded 🙏🏼🌿

Beautiful storytelling of the journey to getting therapy support 🙌🙌

It can be a huge step! But we're so welcoming and approachable, we want to make it as smooth as possible and it's always about what makes you most comfortable - share as much or as little as you're ready to.

AND we've got an option at the Centre here for a 15-minute Initial Consultation - an informal, free-of-charge chat over the phone to touch on what's happening in your world and what might work best to support you. It helps you get a sense if this is the right place for you, and if not that's totally fine.

Just get in touch if you'd like to make a time.

Beautiful story from the brilliant Revelatori 🙌🙏🙌

Past & present clients... and many many more 🙏🏼 There’s no restrictions to the people who seek out holistic growth! I’ve been privileged to have worked with so many amazing people from all walks of life as a therapist for 10+ years now. Most have an interest or curiosity in working holistically, but even that’s not mandatory. All you need is a thirst for positive change - intention is a powerful catalyst - Elle 🙏🏼✨🌿

Just message or reach out for more information or to make a time.
