My professional practice is grounded in the feeling of connection and belonging in Nature. These roots have grown from my families work in conservation and rehabilitation of wildlife around the world. Initiating in my adolescence with Taoist martial arts and meditation I began a lifelong affair with “doing nothing but leaving nothing undone”. During this rite of passage into early adulthood I was mentored by Western & Eastern medical practitioners including, Dr John Dolic, Eric Lyleson, Adyashanti, & Dr Eng-KongTan. My career began in childcare as an OOSH Carer and Nature Connection Mentor both in suburbia and the Wilds of the Australian bush. During this time I designed a weekly program of Nature Education for primary school aged children based upon the Natural Learning Cycle. At this time the profound simplicity of the Native American Indian Vision Quest became an important ritual for my transitioning identity. Now after a series of personal quests I have been formally trained in the lineage of Apache Elder Stalking Wolf through Malcolm Ringwalt. Another major source of support and challenge is from my mentors and friends from the Gumbayngirr and Yolngu Nations. They’re refreshing authenticity grounds me and reminds me of the joyful and unfathomable depth of connection that lies within our deepest human-nature. To incorporate these experiences into a way of helping others, I completed 6 years of tertiary education in psychology and counselling. Learning from leaders in the fields of relational neuroscience, attachment, and somatic psychotherapy. Academically I completed a masters thesis on Eco-psychotherapy, as well as specialising in Wilderness Therapy with Adolescents. Both papers I have written for professionals interested in bringing their psychological practice outdoors. I have worked as a psychotherapist at both local community centres in rural towns and with international companies and am currently specialising in trauma and addictions treatment at Australia's leading treatment centre. I run an online private practice an in person practice in Coffs Harbour and lead Wellness Consultancy for organisations seeking to incorporate healthy communication practices.

A cactus show at night?!
We’ve never had a bloom like this before,
And yet there’s more…
What a sight!
wings of the white Cockatoo
Spread out before us in flagrant delight!

More beauty unfurling every day
Something to show our child and say;
Lets go into the night to see the flowers
No need to be afraid

Look theres a half moon!
And the white winged beaty
Lets smell the sweet aroma
See the blanket of stars
Spread out in glory
And say
Goodnight cactus
Goodnight grandfather
Thank u for our vision
Thank u for this sight
Your beauty reminds us of our light!

Creating natural, healthy relationships with yourself and others

The more we are connected to natural ways of being in relationship, the healthier we are. This healthy connectedness is created by weaving three strands: Taking responsibility for the ways we communicate, learning to pay curious attention to the details of our inner world and remembering a sense of belonging to “Place.” Alongside 1-1 therapy (medium to long term), I facilitate Connective Conversations with diverse groups of children, teens and adults and work cross culturally with indigenous communities. Specialising in;

~Developing Emotional Resilience (EQ)

~Reaching out beyond Depressive experience

~Calming Anxiety, panic and overwhelm
