A Space Where Your Body Can Finally Exhale
Do you feel like you’ve been holding it all — for too long?
Quietly stretched thin. Wired yet weary. Tending to others while slowly losing connection with you — your joy, your needs, your breath.
I see you.
I work with intuitive, heart-led women who feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or quietly unraveling beneath the surface. Women who have carried so much, so gently, for so long — and are now ready to come home to themselves.
In our work together, we honour your nervous system as the wise guide it is.
Rather than asking “what’s wrong with me?”, we ask:
I weave trauma informed counselling with nervous system awareness, using the principles of Polyvagal Theory to understand how your body responds to stress, connection, and safety.
Together, we track the patterns — the shutdown, the spirals, the shutdowns or the urgency — not with judgment, but with compassion and clarity.
Because your story matters.
But the state of your body tells us even more.
In this space, we explore:
This is not about pushing through or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about gently building capacity — for presence, connection, and vitality — at your own pace, in your own way.
With lived experience of deep burnout, I don’t meet you from a place of performance — I meet you from reverence. For the wisdom your body holds. For the parts of you that had to survive.
And for the soft voice within you that knows it’s time to return.
You’re not broken.
You’re just ready to live differently.

You don’t need to have the “right words.” You just need to bring you.
This isn’t clinical or rigid.
It’s soul-based counselling, grounded in emotional intelligence, trauma-informed principles, and nervous system regulation. Sessions are attuned to you — your energy, your timing, your healing rhythm.
I work relationally with your nervous system, intuitively, and somatically — weaving together:
Every session is a sacred container — a place where your truth can emerge at its own pace, without pressure or performance.
Through our sessions, you'll develop tools and insights to reclaim your energy, confidence, and sense of self.
Together, we’ll gently build a toolkit that feels like yours — not another list of things to fix or force, but simple, soothing supports that meet you right where you are.
After each session, you’ll receive personalised practices:
-️ Soft audio reflections to regulate and restore
- Gentle mindfulness or body-based tools
-Journal prompts (only if they serve you) to deepen your own inner listening
And a living, breathing well-being plan that honours your pace, not the world’s
This isn’t a prescription.
It’s a co-creation — grounded in safety, sensitivity, and soul integrity.
I believe in holding space where your nervous system can settle, where your truth can rise without urgency, and where your healing becomes less about doing… and more about being deeply met.
If your body is whispering yes, I’d be honoured to walk beside you.
Let’s begin with a gentle conversation — and take it from there.

You’re not too much. You’re right on time.
A gentle space to feel seen, soften, and come home to your body.
If you’re living with chronic fatigue or illness, you know how invisible and relentless it can feel.
The grief of a changing body. The pressure to keep going. The exhaustion that doesn’t shift with rest.
I see you — because I’ve lived it too.
Through my own experience with chronic illness, I’ve come to understand: healing begins with enough safety.
Not perfection. Just moments where your system can pause, exhale, and feel met.
That’s the space I hold.
A place to explore what your body has carried — through illness, stress, and life — with compassion and nervous system awareness.
Together we’ll:
There’s nothing to push through here.
No need to explain away your experience.
Just space to soften, feel, and be supported — one gentle breath at a time.
If this speaks to your nervous system… trust that.
With warmth,

If you're an NDIS participant navigating anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, or burnout — you're not alone, and you're so welcome here. I offer gentle, compassionate counselling for self-managed and plan-managed participants across South Australia.
With over five years’ experience in community and private practice settings, I’ve supported people facing all kinds of distress — from PTSD and grief, to parenting stress and shutdown. My approach is trauma-informed, polyvagal-aware, and deeply relational. I believe healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported to go at our own pace.
We’ll begin by building safety and connection — listening to what your nervous system needs.
Together, we’ll explore:
This work isn’t about fixing — it’s about feeling. And reconnecting with the version of you that feels steadier, softer, more whole.

"My role is to walk beside you with warmth and attunement — creating space for your nervous system to soften, feel safe, and begin to heal."
If you’re looking for a trusted Recovery Coach or Support Coordinator, I’d be happy to share my referral list of incredible humans I’ve worked alongside in the NDIS space.
Grief asks us to slow down. To feel what feels unbearable. To find meaning when the world has shifted beneath us.
In this space, you are not asked to be strong.
You are invited to be real.
Whether your grief is fresh or has quietly lingered for years, I offer a steady, compassionate space where your experience is honoured — not pathologised. Together, we tend to your nervous system, explore the story of your loss, and gently begin to rebuild meaning and connection.
You’re welcome here with:
We’ll use nervous system tools, existential inquiry, and healing rituals to support your body, emotions, and soul.
Grief is not something to “get over.”
It’s something we learn to carry — with care, with reverence, and in time, with love.
→ Let’s begin your healing, one breath at a time.
Leaving a high-demand group — whether spiritual, religious, or self-developmental — can leave you feeling disoriented, ashamed, or cut off from your inner truth. These spaces often appear caring on the surface, making the deeper harm harder to name.
If you’re navigating the grief, confusion, or loss of self that follows, I want you to know: what you're feeling makes sense. Your nervous system was shaped to survive — and now, gently, it’s asking for something more honest, more safe, and more you.
In this space, we honour your story, your body, and your own authority.
Together, we’ll:
This work is trauma-informed, body-aware, and guided by deep respect.
You don’t need to do this alone — and you don’t need to rush.
We’ll move at your pace, with care.

Confidential. Trauma-aware. Grounded in nervous system care.
If you’re part of South Australia Police — or a family member — and feeling worn down by the job, the stress, or the emotional load it brings home, I see you. I offer confidential, external counselling support that understands the unique challenges of frontline life.
From chronic stress, burnout, and critical incidents…
To family strain, emotional numbness, or just not feeling like yourself anymore —
You don’t have to carry it alone.
These are not signs of weakness.
They’re how your nervous system protects you.
When you understand how your system responds to stress, you gain more choice, clarity, and resilience. This work helps reduce burnout, support relationships, and improve emotional wellbeing — on and off duty.
I may not wear the uniform — but I’m close to it. With a family member in law enforcement, I hold deep respect for what this work costs, and what it often conceals.
My approach is grounded, confidential, and relational. Sessions are available in Gawler or online.

For when holding it all starts to take its toll.
At Nourish Your Wellbeing, I offer confidential EAP counselling that honours the nervous system, emotional wellbeing, and the invisible weight many carry at work.
This isn’t just “stress management.”
It’s real support for what you’re actually navigating — burnout, blurred boundaries, team tension, or simply feeling like you're unraveling beneath the surface.
Together, we create a space where your body can exhale, your voice can be heard, and your next step becomes clear.
This isn’t about pushing through.
It’s about restoring your capacity to show up sustainably — for yourself and your work.
If your workplace offers EAP sessions (or you’re unsure how to access them), I warmly welcome you to reach out.
Sessions available in Gawler or online.
Free 20-minute clarity call available to explore if this feels like a fit.
A 6-Week Online Therapy Circle for Women Ready to Come Home to Themselves
You’ve been holding so much for so long.
Moving through life on empty.
Still showing up for others — but quietly disconnected from yourself.
If your system feels stretched thin by burnout, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or the quiet ache of disconnection…
This space is for you.
Restore & Reconnect is a therapeutic group journey for six women ready to soften, rest, and come back into alignment — not through more doing, but through presence, co-regulation, and slow integration.
It’s an invitation to return —
To your breath.
To your body.
To the version of you that was never broken, just needing space to be seen and supported.
As a private counselling practitioner, I don’t offer Medicare rebates — which means we can work together without the need for a referral or a mental health care plan.
Sessions are available Australia-wide via Telehealth or Zoom, and in person if you're local to the Gawler, SA region.
Once you reach out, we can often begin our work together within two weeks. Saturdays, during the week and some evenings are all possible. At the moment I have a two week waitlist.
To support a smooth and grounded process, I kindly ask that payment is made via online bank transfer before your session.
I am a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and have been verified by Psychology Today. Counselling endorsements by work colleagues can be found on Psychology Today and on my 'Kind Words' webpage.
