Together, we will build a community of women who can simply BE. Be with their pain, their sadness, their wants, their desires. Be with their joy, their happiness, their hopes, their dreams. Be with their children, their partners and most importantly, the neglected inner child within us all. By being, we bring awareness to the present and the present is where transformation can occur. Not the past. Not the future. Here and now. If we can simply slow down long enough to BE.
My name is Alwynn Hynes, and I am an inner child and trauma therapist. Along with interviewing top professionals in the area on my podcast Let Me Be Free.
5 years ago, following the birth of my second son, I had a breakdown. I was a stay at home mom to two boys (3 and 1) absolutely terrified and alone. Who was going to catch me as I fell? Who was going to keep my boys safe from my aggressive and unstable behaviour? Who could help me understand what was going on as I fell apart completely? At that time, it felt as if no one could help me because everyone was so afraid of my pain, and that was where the seeds of this dream were sown.
Since then, I have worked with men and women, helping them to heal, repair, and restore their lives, and as much as It is incredible work, there was STILL something missing.
I watched these women come to me. Powerful. Strong. Alone. In pain. I watched them dig deep into their souls and held space while they cried, but WHO did they have once they left my office? Who is going to be there for them when I can not? Who are they going to call when it's all gotten too much and nothing ever feels enough? Yes they may have had friends, even maybe family, but none of those people knew the language of trauma, the language of the heart, the language of emotions or how to just be with another in their pain. This empty void I kept noticing became the food and water that nurtured the seeds to grow to become what my dear friend Stephanie Sherlock and I have named the "School For Being."
Like any school, this community will be built upon a foundation integral to creating the safe, nurturing, and supportive environment needed for us women to fall, grieve, and grow safely. We have taken everything we have learned from our own pain and suffering and from working with many other women and created the foundations of what we believe will enable this community to soar and succeed.
Our groups will be the starting point where women will learn the foundational tools to embodying, communicating and learning how to exist in this world from a place of empowerment and from there, with this new way of being and new language learned, step into a greater community of women moving into a new future.
After the in person group work you have the option to be added to our online community so in your moments of need, before you react you can reach out to our network of women who have learned the HOW and the LANGUAGE to hold and support you.
Stephanie and I have decided to kick this school program off with 2 FREE introductory sessions followed by 2 groups for a donation. If you like the sound of what we are building or you would just like to learn more, come check out and join us for the FREE introduction. You can be guaranteed to leave with valuable insights that will help you on your journey towards finding a sense of belonging, peace, and hope. (Eventbrite tickets below).
Following the introduction events, there will be a one-time only chance to experience our 6 week group program for donation only price.

Group 2; Thurs Oct 10th 7.30pm-8.30pm (6 weeks consecutively)
Joining this community will not just be a gift for you but a gift for your families. A place where you don't have to be everything, to everyone, without a care or thought to yourself. This community will become the thing you look forward to most in each week. The thing you think of when life feels too heavy and too burdensome to take another step forward. In a world full of unmet expectations and needs, you will finally have a place where you can truly and honestly come home to and a group of women who you KNOW will be there if and when you fall. This is the new generation of women. Where self care is not coffee and Netflix but connection, introspection and empowerment.
Love Alwynn & Steph
