UniSC is looking into green prescriptions (GRoW project) and how best to encourage this in the community. I attended an exploration of ideas @ Community permaculture Gardens in Cooroy last week. We planted a pot plant, created a group art piece, had an amazing afternoon tea, and shared thoughts. It was such a nourishing afternoon. 🌳🪴🍁🌼

On my way to gym this morning and stopped to take this in. You might be able to tell from my business name that I love for me they are a symbol of hope and renewal. There is always hope for things to change/improve/grow with every brand new day. 🌅💛

Needing support, information, skills & strategies, more joy, or ability to emotionally regulate? As well as a safe, confidential space to explore your history, how it is impacting your life, and/or what you'd like to create for your life now? A place of your own, just to be heard?
The path of therapy is decided between us.
I utilise a range of modalities to respond to

Sometimes its our attachment style (and something we can learn and grow through) and sometimes its just not safe in that relationship!
Conversions I have frequently in therapy.

Exploring grief and loss. Client (adult male) in the middle with all the people and pets lost. Allowing the emotions to arise, the honouring and acknowledgment. Being supported with light.

When was the last time you stopped ... and deeply connected with yourself? And was then able to have the space (& grace) to share what arose without fear of judgement, to another?
Often, that in itself is healing!
