I started filming this for the plant, but I stayed for the process.

Slow, repetitive, hands-on tasks like this are grounding for me. No rushing. No multitasking. Just focus.

Sometimes caring for something else is a quiet way of taking care of yourself too. 🌿

Too many workplaces discuss mental health without providing guidance on how to address it. I am changing that. Workplace MHFA is practical, evidence-based, and available Australia-wide. Message me to discuss training for your team.

This marks the official start of my Master of Counselling journey. I’m nervous, excited, and honestly a little relieved to have the first assignment out of the way!

Here’s to late nights, lots of coffee, and learning how to be the best counsellor I can be.
Nothing says “student life” like developing a very specific type of academic PTSD while waiting for that similarity report to be delivered 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

A great read 🙌🏻

When someone has a physical injury, we know to apply first aid. But what about when someone is struggling with their mental health? Just like CPR can save a life, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) gives people the skills to recognise, understand and respond to signs of mental health problems and crises...
