End of year reflections:
As a counsellor, I know how powerful it is to pause and assess where you're at. Don't wait for Jan 1 to start thinking about growth and change!
What changes are you considering? What steps can you take NOW to move forward? 🤔 Let's chat about it! at your next session. And I’ll see you at the last workshop for 2025.

⏰ December Appointment Availability Alert!
Hey there, dear souls,
This is just a heads up that my ONLY available appointment before Christmas is Wednesday, December 17 at 1:45 pm 🕰️. If you've been thinking of booking a session, that’s gotta be the time!
For those with existing appointments, I send reminders each week, and I understand life gets busy 😐. (Especially this time of year) If you need to cancel or reschedule, I just appreciate as much warning as possible.
Please be aware, however, that if you cancel, the only spot I currently have available is that one on Dec 17, and at some point - that will be snapped up if you wait too long 🙈.
Regulars, you're the best! 🥰 If you need to miss a session, we'll pick up where we left off next time.
Starting this week, I will be ready to book in Premium Plan Members, regulars, NDIS, worker’s comp, and EAP peeps for 2026 📆… In a reasonable and controlled manner, because this is not a black Friday, American-style stampede.🤣😢
I know some of you are stressed that I blocked off online bookings for 2026. Sorry but not sorry- I needed to prioritise my own sanity. And so many of you were booking in for times that I knew would not work.
Keep in mind that I’m a whole human being with needs and responsibilities of my own- a family, a uni schedule, etc. Also- after a fire burns down my literal business, I may decide to change my days, hours, places for work.
Trust me. It will all make sense when you come to your next appointment and we have a chat. And I will get each and every one of you in for 2026 appointments.
I'm finalising our new location (watch this space 👀), which might impact timing for next year’s bookings. Stay tuned for updates, and get ready to secure your spot for next year!
Thanks for being here and being committed to your own and .💕Shel xx

Hey there,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your love and support since the fire. It's been a journey, and I'm grateful to have such an amazing community behind me.
As I look to the future, I've been reflecting on my business and the path ahead. Over the years, I've consistently reminded people that my real job is being a counsellor and developmental educator - and that's still very much the case! My private practice is where my heart is. With that in mind, this week I will be sharing some decisions I've made about shaping that future.
Business Decision #1:
We are not reopening the store. It was a wonderful space, and I'm proud of what we created together, but it was always meant to be a complement to my practice, not a standalone business. The reality is, we get more sales online, and the store space became more of a warehouse over time. I'm sad to lose that space, especially for the local artists who sold their beautiful work with us.
But don't worry, if you loved the products we sold, you can still find similar goodies in Shel’s VIP Crystal Group- I'm having a blast curating and chatting about each item there! And if you're looking to support the vendors who were part of YHS, I encourage you to follow their pages and social media to purchase directly from them.
Stay tuned for more updates on my private practice and where I'll be seeing clients in 2026 - I've just got a few loose ends to tie up before sharing more. Thanks again for being part of this journey!
💕Shel xx

People often ask me what if any traits are important for a person parenting a kid on the spectrum to have. The answer is these four: an inate curiosity, a large amount of patience, a willingness to accept you may be incorrect and your kid may be right and a drive to defend your kid in a world that desires to misunderstand them. These are the basics you must have and without them your kid will suffer.

I am a healer and wellness advocate who believes in transforming the planet, one life at a time. I spent the first 45 years of my life in America, where I found the lifestyle frenetic. In 2015, I moved from America to Australia for a lifestyle change. I traded in a busy, city life for a small, rural, slow-paced, "no worries" lifestyle.
I have raised 4 children, Cameron (26), Molly (23), Nathaniel (20) and Isaac (18) while following my adventure-seeking, military husband, William, around the world. During different seasons of my life, I worked as a school teacher and as a programs supervisor/teacher in childcare centers. In addition, I worked for United Cerebral Palsy in America in client support. Later I worked independently in hospice care providing emotional, physical and spiritual support for the dying. I am grateful for all of these experiences as they have shaped me as a person.
I appreciate nature and care deeply about sustainability and environmental issues. I currently raise orphaned kangaroos as a licensed wildlife rescuer/carer for Wildcare, Queanbeyan. Right now I am a kangaroo mama to 10 orphaned kangaroo joeys ranging in size from 600 grams to 10 kg. What started out as a fun "Australian experience" of "let's just raise 2 kangaroos" has become one of my passions.
I am presently focused on building this wellness practice in Bungendore. I hold certifications as a schoolteacher, meditation teacher, chair yoga instructor, EFT/TFT tapping practitioner, holistic wellness counselor (individual/family talk therapy), and hypnotherapist. I also provide dietary support (AIP) for clients with auto-immune disorders. I have a particular interest in auto-immune disorders after healing myself of lupus, fibromyalgia, and Sjogren's disease with diet and lifestyle changes as well as changing my subconscious beliefs.
I believe in education rather than indoctrination, wellness rather than illness, and calmness rather than busy-ness. I am an advocate of nonviolent communication, which focuses on healthy communication without judgment or labeling. I believe that by loving yourself and loving others, we all have the capacity to change our world for the better. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself!
