2025 has been a year of challenges, heartbreak, grief, learnings and rebuilds. But these two have remained, steadfast as the reason why I get out of bed every morning. Don’t get me wrong, parenting is hard. Bloody hard. Throw neurodivergence into the mix, in a world still set up for the (diminishing) majority and it’s next to impossible… sometimes.

The aim of the last few years has been to slow. And I don’t think it’s really clicked until these last few weeks. Perhaps what I had felt was the final unraveling of trying to live in a world not equipped to support my nervous system. But here, among the trees I feel it. The slow pendulum of time, knowing that I actually do control its tempo.

2026 will be different. We have shed the skin of the year of the snake and instead of feeling an intense gallop of the horse I will lean into its dynamism, heart and use my energy where it’s most useful. I’m excited. But not to the point where I make like a candle and burn out.

Thanks for joining me on this ride… my insta will now be less psychoeducation and more joy. More play. More me. ESNSE is evolving and so am I.

In addition to being a therapist, I’m an artist. In fact, I was an artist long before I was a therapist. It’s a huge part of my life, and yet, for the past 6 years since becoming a mum, it’s taken a bit of a backseat. Fast forward to running .au - being surrounded by amazing artists on a daily basis… and a spark is back. So when our lovely intern Jade came up with the idea for a fundraising show in support of I knew it was time to dust off the brushes, be bold and brave and do what I try to inspire my clients to do daily - to feel safe to express myself authentically.

It’s a little work, simple, conceptual… a bit of a departure to what I’ve previously done but I feel proud to be hung alongside the works of other brave, resilient and inspirational women. Each with their own story to tell.

Come, support and help us raise awareness. Commission from every artwork sold will be donated to White Ribbon - a charity close to my heart and the hearts of many.

I hope to see you there! Opening night Friday 21st Nov. 🤍

Joy isn’t something we chase… it’s something we remember through our senses.

When we smell rain, feel sunlight, create art or hear a rhythm that moves us, our body whispers, you’re safe now… expand.

Philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote that perception isn’t passive; it’s a dialogue between us and the world. When we truly see, the world also sees us back.

Joy lives in that meeting place, in the felt aliveness of being part of everything. You and the world entwined.

Just a little something I’m super excited to announce…

🎨 Art & Sensory Workshops - starting November 4th!

Each 90-minute session includes mindful moments, hands-on creation, and an age-appropriate introduction to artists and art movements - sparking curiosity, imagination, and a sense of wonder.

From slime-making to printmaking and painting with negative space, children are invited to explore freely, connect with their senses, and express themselves without pressure or perfection.

✨ $30 per class / $240 for the full 8-week program. Book via the QR code, website or link in bio (limited to 8 places)

✨ To my beautiful clients and all of the students starting their HSC today ✨

Remember this is not the test of your worth, your intelligence, or your future. It’s one snapshot of your story. The real work of life is not about memorising answers, but learning to see differently, to express what only you can see.

One day this will be a memory of how strong you are. And a reminder there’s extraordinary potential in the ordinary moment when we stop striving and start noticing.

So take a breath. Trust your process. You already carry everything you need within you.

You’ve got this. 🎈

The next Writers’ Circle is coming up on Saturday, 26th October at 9:30am - a gentle morning for writers, dreamers, and curious minds to gather, write, and reconnect with their creative flow.

This month, we’ll be diving into point of view, voice, and character… exploring how the lens we write through shapes the stories we tell. Together, we’ll play with perspective, listen to our characters speak, and find the rhythm of our own voice on the page.

As always, there’ll be time to write, reflect, and share in a warm, welcoming space that invites honesty, experimentation, and creative courage.

Bring your notebook, and your curiosity - and we’ll pop the kettle on.

Saturday 26th October, 9:30am – The Writers’ Circle at Theia.
