A Let's Unpack That session is for you if:
Wish to gain clarity on a topic that's troubling you
See an emotional problem that could get bigger if it's not addressed early
Want a neutral and confidential space to workshop a niggly life situation
Are open to changing and growing as a person
Feel a desire for a shift or change in a very specific area of your life
It's probably time to see a traditional therapist if you:
Have serious, ongoing and complex mental health issues that require intensive support
Feel as though you have 'so much to say' but can't narrow it down to a specific issue
Would like to explore the various interconnected events of your life over time in therapy
Are investigating acute or complex trauma from childhood experiences or interpersonal relationships
Have noticed significant dips to your mood, sleep and energy levels over months

What kind of training do you have?I would like to reference many avenues of learning that have contributed to my foundation as a space-holder, that (naturally) encompass the practical, the spiritual and the communal realms. To start with the official stuff, I hold a Bachelor of International and Global Studies and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Sydney. I have five years of professional experience as a grief and loss counsellor with two well-renowned non-government organisations. Thousands of client sessions later, I have developed a deep reverence and attunement to the unique mystery of an individual's healing journey, within a grounded and ethical counselling framework. I receive regular supervision to continually reflect and refine my own practice, and I also credit my gifted psychologist, Cecilia, for role-modelling 8 years of (fun, yet deep) person-centred therapy with me. Secondly, my own inner exploration has provided a wellspring of tools, depth and sacred experiences that allow me to hold the pain and suffering of my clients with grace and compassion. Moving through my own dark layers of intergenerational trauma, significant grief and loss, alongside the support of plant medicine have likely been the magic ingredients that take my practice from 'Social Work' to 'Soul Work'. Lastly, I would say that being in community is the ultimate teacher that ties everything together. I have always been fascinated by the way that energy moves through collective spaces, and how we may experience the true healing balm of belonging with others. From involvement in a thriving dance community, to living in a self-run housing co-operative, to now initiating women's circles and rituals, I have always been observant of, and supportive to create, the sparks of indescribable magic that happen in intentional togetherness.

What makes you different?I believe millennials especially, are looking for a guide who can incorporate their spiritual health alongside their mental health. I like to think that I am a bridge between mainstream clinical therapy and an esoteric "spiritual healer" (though I do cringe when I read those words!). From my own experience, I have found that traditional counsellors and therapists do not always accept, understand or integrate the spiritual/shamanic understanding of one's experience, to assist in their healing journey, i.e. the ancestral wounding, unique energetic blueprint (Astrology, Numerology, Human Design) and mystical experiences that cannot be defined by logic. On the other hand, it can sometimes be the case that psychics, tarot readers and non-descript ~healers~ may not necessarily be equipped to appropriately hold and contain an individual's experience within a trauma-informed, ethically-guided framework. This can leave things feeling too 'up in the clouds' with little grounding in reality and personal autonomy. So essentially, I am here for the person that is comfortable with a little bit from both terrains...real life issues with a holistic lens...I call it...Practical Magic ;) In terms of community involvement and ritual, I have also spent the last 5 years creating novel and innovative spaces to gather with others and mark special occasions; from birth, to marriage, to grief and any kind of circle or party in between. In saying this, I absolutely *know* the feeling of doubt and shyness when it comes to putting on an event. I have worked through the thoughts: "will this work? will it land? will anyone get on board with this?" too many times to count. I feel equipped to guide others through a journey of intense vulnerability, the possibility of 'failure' and the excitement of brilliant execution when it comes to conscious event planning!

What kind of topics are appropriate for The Cosmic Session?The keys to articulate your topic for a Cosmic Session are: -> Something broad enough for you to be able to work on for the next 3-6 months, e.g. 'Work/Life Balance, Communicating Assertively, Creative Expression, Trust in Relationships. -> It will likely be something that has shown up in your life in different ways, and created some friction, insecurity or disharmony in your life that you are ready to evolve out of. -> Try to be as specific as possible with your over-arching topic as this provides the 'frame' for the session. If you go too broad or the focus is diffuse (e.g. 'Life Purpose, Emotional Issues, Family') then we will not be able to cover proper ground together. -> In the preparation questions after the topic line, please feel free to give as MUCH detail as possible, with examples, stories, reflections etc. It allows me to really connect with the nuances of your energy so I can select the most appropriate Cosmic Details to raise with you in session. -> Your topic should be something that you feel comfortable with reflecting on and observing in solitude. There are certain topics that need and deserve long-term, ongoing support with a therapist (e.g. childhood/adult trauma, substance addiction, relationship breakdown, grief and loss, PTSD and depression) and it may be advised to seek an alternative service before accessing the Cosmic Session. [Ps. I wish I didn't need to say this in 2024, but it's important to name these channels of safety. We live in a world that is slow to wake up to the multiple versions of freedom that exist out there. People who don't fit the mould can feel that stigma anywhere, and that includes therapy sometimes (unfortunately). I wish to affirm and reassure that I hold a respectful and reverent presence when it comes to topics that aren't always safe to speak about openly, eg. gender and sexuality, racial/ethnic minority lived experience, ongoing impact of colonialism, substance and plant medicine use, impairment and disability, neurodiversity, intimacy and kink practices, ethical non-monogamy, history of abuse/DV, sex work, spiritual beliefs, political values, personal parenting styles and more. I seek to clarify what is important to you before making assumptions and consider you as 'the expert of your life' and myself as a curious guide. While sessions focus on your work as an individual, as a Social Worker I acknowledge the complexities of living outside the dominant culture, systemic constraints, and the intersecting identities of power that we all hold.]

How should I prepare for The Cosmic Session?If planning to book a Cosmic Session for yourself, I suggest taking some time to consider your topic. In my preparation email, I will ask you the following: 1) What is your general topic? (In a few words) 2) How does this show up in every day life? 3) What challenges to you face with this currently? 4) What would you like to lean into more? 5) What is your current understanding/exposure to Astrology, Human Design and Numerology The Cosmic Session is designed to be done once a year. It will equip you with alternative perspectives, illumination of how to disrupt repeating patterns, and ideas on how to focus and optimise the way you manage your energy. The Cosmic Session call is a dynamic space of information exchange that is designed to facilitate slow, deep, inner transformation for the following months (and potentially years) to come. Therefore, it is crucial to hone in on your specific intention beforehand, and to commit to the process of integration afterwards (i.e. slowly incorporating the new ideas into your life at a natural and loving pace). The Cosmic Session is not suitable for 'quick fixes' or to book from a place of urgency/momentary panic/desperation with a current struggle. For you to receive the maximum benefit, it requires your deep reflection and commitment to the transformation you are hoping to create, and the ability to articulate this, so I can prepare the most detailed and unique session experience for you to have those golden 'aha' moments. This is the reason that bookings are only available from a minimum time of 3 weeks away. I seek to clearly front-load this here, as this is what differentiates the session from a spontaneous psychic reading where one may be feeling vulnerable, un-centred, and disconnected from intuition. You and I will separately be going on a journey of exploration in the lead-up to your session, as I prepare notes and you observe your topic, and this is best done without rush. I respectfully ask that you arrive to the Cosmic Session feeling grounded, open and connected to self, allowing adequate time/space/tending beforehand and afterwards to make the most of your investment. This work is designed for those who already have an active reflective practice (i.e. journalling, meditation, therapy, coaching, self-development etc.) and a self-care toolkit (i.e. habits that replenish your physical, mental, emotional health), and are wishing to expand and deepen into their next level. Once we're in the call, yes we explore really deep things but we have a lottttttt of fun, and I'm so excited to share this modality with you!
