I have always been devoted to the study of healing. I began my work in a frontline and dynamic career in medicine in surgery, in several rural and urban locations across Australia, with my last position in Neurosurgery. The most meaningful part of my work was the privilege of holding space for my patients and their families through some of the most significant events and transitions of their lives - witnessing births, deaths, and a few miracles!

​

At a certain point I knew the role was asking too much of me. I also yearned to help people on a deeper level, outside of the limitations of an oftentimes paternalistic system. I could sense the deeper pain of those seeking help. A pain of not feeling safe, seen, or heard. A pain that a pill might ease, but was never going to fix. 

​

In my most recent post-graduate psychotherapy studies I learned about the concept of the Dreambody, and my own personal dream life exploded. With awareness training I learned to track dreaming signals - signals that are ubiquitous (ie everywhere) but go unnoticed or dismissed when we are too busy or distracted by the demands of our everyday lives. 

​

Using amplification methods such as movement, drawing, music, sound, symbol work, and role play, I learned how to unfold these signals into their deeper dreaming processes. Once anchored and consciously integrated these processes facilitated profound shifts for both myself and my clients. I discovered that healing was more than deep grieving and vulnerability, it was also fun, empowering, and energizing!
