I am a holistic Psychotherapist, a Shamanic family Constellations facilitator, a Spiral Practitioner and Coach based in Byron Bay. I have completed healing-focused advanced trainings in several parts of the world and keep myself on the cutting edge of neuroscience, psychology, and shamanic approaches. I have a holistic, integrative and relational approach to my work and interweave numerous current approaches to support complex cases. I bring together tools from approaches such as sensorimotor therapy, EMDR, IFS, AEDP, Gestalt, object relations and Jungian therapy as well as ancient healing modalities such as archetypal embodiment, moving meditations, shamanic constellations and emotional release tools amongst others. I have designed and delivered trainings for junior Psychotherapists on these advanced skills based on my approach.
I hold an empowering, nonjudgmental and loving space in all the work that I offer. I deeply believe that we are where we are for very good and valid reasons. Having overcome my own complex traumas, I hold space from a place of deep empathy and resonance. I understand that fear and desire often intersect and create opportunities for deep healing. "Taboos" being explored in safe spaces such as those that BDSM communities create carry this potential. Pleasure and pain lends itself to similar explorations. As Carl Jung famously said "opposites are the same". I am always open to learning, understanding more and growing with my clients.
I am known for bringing a unique approach, breaking down difficult patterns for clients and students, creating safe group spaces for interpersonal learning and loving challenges that help move clients out of stuckness and accelerate healing. I have a special interest in conscious healthy relating and in developmental trauma. Big believer in human capacity and resilience, I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential and aliveness.
Psychotherapy:
As a holistic integrative Psychotherapist, I weave together approaches that address all dimensions of being, including:
(A) Somatic approaches that address emotions and trauma stored in the body such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing therapy.
(B) Relational approaches which address the internal relationships we have with our different parts such as IFS (Internal Family Systems) and that address our external relationships such as attachment theory.
(C) Needs-based approaches such as Gestalt and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
(D) Psychodynamic approaches that address our hidden internal unconscious material such as AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), Object Relations therapy among many others.
(E) Archetypal approaches that address the deep unconscious structuring of experience such as Jungian analysis and ancient archetypal work.
I specialise in complex-trauma, which is often developmental. It can be most simply understood as multiple traumas compounded on top of each other leading to a complex and pervasive cluster of effects rooted in unmet developmental needs and coping strategies. Often leading to what is called a “failure to launch” or thrive in life. The cluster of symptoms which include emotional flashbacks, experienced as emotional over-reactions, as well as the inability to form close and safe intimate relationships. When untreated, complex trauma can keep us living in a semi-frozen state unable to reach our true potential.
I deeply hold trauma healing work as sacred work that we do not just for ourselves, but also for our future generations, and all of humanity. Trauma not healed is trauma transmitted. From personal experience I know how challenging it is to do this work, so I deeply honour and respect every soul that shows up for itself to enable its full expression and potential. I strive to make this journey as gentle and loving as possible.
Spiral Journeys:
Spiral is a Journey of eight sessions, one session for each chakra where we root clear twenty-two core emotions so you may start to feel your authentic emotional responses instead of conditioned or trauma-based ones, and shed decades of emotional baggage that is trapped in those conditioned responses. Clients have overcome years of sabotaging patterns, limiting beliefs, and maladaptive emotional patterns to find loving connection with their real selves and thrive.
Everyone feels and processes The Spiral differently. I am available outside of scheduled sessions via text, for the duration of The Spiral to ensure you feel safe and supported.
Clearing sessions:
I offer different types of clearings, where we directly communicate with your unconscious mind to find the blocks in your way and clear their imprints from the Psyche. Some types of common clears that people request:
Emotional clearing sessions Wealth/money-blocks clearing
Conditioned responses clearing sessions Dream-weaving Manifestation Clears
Clearing sessions for specific patterns or limiting beliefs
Coaching Sessions:
Activating and realising the immense human potential that resides in each being, these sessions are focused on being in the present and creating the future that enables our full expression.

Fields of Consciousness: Shamanic Family Constellations*
(*Only offered in person in Australia.)
A shamanic group process combining the wisdom of the ancients with advances in neuroscience and quantum physics to bring to you a group process that has the power to shift generations of suffering and unhappiness. We unconsciously "take on" destructive familial patterns of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, aloneness, alcoholism & even illness as a way of "belonging" in our families or societies.
Systemic Constellations allow us to release these patterns so that we can live healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives. The results create genuine change that will ripple throughout your life over time.
When we do our own specific process the shift in our inner system is powerful and deep. In representing for each other we enrich our emotional intelligence, receive pieces that might be missing from our own lineage, clear our own patterns, expand our consciousness and tangibly experience our interconnected reality.
Heal guilt, shame, judgement and other limiting beliefs that keep you stuck. What you carry from here on is the STRENGTH, LOVE and POWER of your lineage and a cleared neuro-circuit, enabling your unencumbered expression to emerge. The shifts are felt by the whole group. This modality reveals the system’s influence on our behaviour and resolves points of stuckness and powerlessness to allow a free flowing of energies within.
