I am fiercely passionate about supporting and empowering people to heal their own disconnection
As a strong Badimaya woman, I feel very deeply about facilitating change through unique, culturally safe, holistic and trauma-informed services.
As a qualified Transformational Coach operating at an International level, a Trauma-Informed Counsellor; Horse Archery Instructor; culturally competent practitioner , Wayapa Wuurrk practitioner , and a certified Equine Assisted / Animal Assisted Psychotherapist (EPI Model) operating at a national Level; I am passionate about empowering people to explore, embrace and reconnect with their inner fire, and ultimately heal their disconnection.
This drive has come from wanting to break the trauma cycle for myself, my amazing children and their future children. I have found the courage to process my own trauma experiences as well as spending time understanding and reflecting on who I am at my core and my connection to country.
It is because of my own journey, I feel that there is an urgent need for change that has the potential to have a ripple on effect throughout our communities. By assisting individuals, communities and workplaces to mentally strengthen themselves and break through their own self-limiting beliefs, it has the potential to break through intergenerational trauma, disconnection and disempowerment.
Strong empowered people are pivotal in encouraging inner strength in their children, grandchildren and partners.
It is from this viewpoint, that I deliver services using proven psychological techniques, strategies, within an intuitive, integrated and culturally safe approach.
My Connection to Country and my belief that we are part of a living, breathing organism rather than being separate from informs who I am and the way I deliver my services. At all times, my Badimaya (Indigenous) and Ukrainian heritages, sense of community and holistic approach, underpin my practice.
