These services are delivered in a fluid and flexible way to meet you wherever you may be on your path.
My work is inspired by the wisdom that we are mammals at our core with intricate nervous systems which are pleasure-seeking and threat-averse.
Our instincts are often highly accurate in helping us navigate our lives, defining our true boundaries and guiding our moment-to-moment choices.
Our bodies and emotions often tell stories of their own, quite different to those that our minds do.
When we listen closely to them, we can unravel repeating patterns, tensions and traumas in a gentle way.
But more often than not, we override our body’s messages with our logical reasoning, old grooves of behaviour and the need to conform socially.
I work with women who…
- want to experience greater feelings of aliveness, balance & connection through resolving trauma and anxiety
- value that working “slower is in fact faster” when creating new grooves in the wake of trauma and chronic unwellness
- gravitate to mind-body approaches to trauma resolution, wellbeing and birth preparation
- want to discover the instinctual intelligence of their bodies, in healing from trauma as well as in birth
- are inspired by the transformative power of birth
- would like a felt sense of calm and clarity as they release self-doubt and fear in pregnancy, birth & parenthood
- believe that newborn babies are highly sensitive & aware beings and how they enter the world will set a lasting imprint for their lives
- would like to explore the possibility of an expansive if not ecstatic birthing experience
- would like to learn tools which help them access the primal zone of birth where instincts can work their magic
- view their sensuality and sexuality as potent birthing tools as well as portals to transcendent states
- value a tailored professional approach & a “one-stop shop” for a variety of their pregnancy, birth & post-natal needs
- appreciate the need for a holistic postnatal service which addresses their physical, psycho-emotional, energetic and spiritual needs in a deeply nurturing way
- believe that their self-care and wellbeing are not negotiable and directly impact those with whom they are intimately connected
- are willing to take responsibility for the changes they desire in their lives
My Approach
Whether you’re birthing a baby or a new version of yourself, I can offer you some tailored and highly effective tools to make a difference.
Their flavour is primal and often hands-on with the aim of connecting you to your own somatic wisdom.
My offerings are delivered in a suburban Melbourne sanctuary where the pace is slow and gentle, the atmosphere calming, and the experience one of being utterly nourished on all levels.
It’s a place where you can fully trust, lay down your burdens, and be safely seen, heard and held.
And it is from here that you can create resilience and invite the possibility of greater freedom and aliveness on all levels.
