Restoring inner calm and vitality through the wisdom of your body.

Come home to yourself and transform your grief and trauma through movement, breath, and creativity.

ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY SESSIONS

For those who want to fall in love with life again.

Life is too short to be just ‘fine’. Too short to be stuck in overwhelm and in survival mode. Unhappiness, disconnection, feeling stuck and in pain doesn’t have to be the end of your story. I’m here to help you tend to the fragile and forgotten parts of yourself.

Having more peace, joy, connection, and vitality is your birthright. Deepen your healing wisdom and learn to nourish your nervous system to embrace a new way of living. One that connects you to, and helps you live, your deepest desires.

Move on from anxiety, depression and chronic health and sleep issues. By getting to the root cause of your suffering, there’s no need to settle for living a small, uninspired life. Learn how to befriend your nervous system and reconnect to the truest and most sacred version of you.

Discover clarity with your purpose and begin to experience fulfilling connections. Be supported to safely surrender to your most natural state of being and build a safe and strong foundation to create a life you love.

I am devoted to soothing nervous systems and healing the human spirit. I invite you to live a more embodied life, deeply connected to yourself and the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Inspired by the poet John O’Donohue and the beautiful Ancient Celtic concept of anam cara. ‘A soul friend that awakens your life to free the wild possibilities within you.’

My longing is for us all to remember, when we are ready, that the magic is already within us. All there is to do is look with curiosity and wonder. I’ll meet you there.

I am a Writer, Psychotherapist, Coach, Yoga and Meditation Teacher.

My offerings are for all humans.

No matter your nationality, sexual orientation, or spiritual persuasion.

WRITER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST, COACH

Hi, I’m Roni!

I am in service to sacred enchantment, and all that is divine within and around us. I was born under an Australian sky but have spent most of my life living a nomadic lifestyle. There is some romance in that, but it’s mostly been a lesson in letting go and surrendering to the present moment. Grief and loss have been my biggest teachers. But in the depths of my despair, I found a way to love life again. It is in the small and quiet joys – homemade granola, walks in nature with my dogs. A lifetime found in a single line of poetry that pierces my heart again and again.

I have the papers – training in psychology, psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory and art therapy. But more importantly, I have the courage. The courage to brave the wilderness with you. To whisper in your ear ‘keep going dear one.’ To bear witness to your journey and celebrate your homecoming.

SUPPORT FOR GRIEF, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

My Approach

I use tools and practices that draw from mythology and earth-based mother cultures. I draw upon my training in process-oriented psychotherapy and Jungian principles. My approach includes integrative psychotherapy, embodiment practices, somatic experiencing, and polyvagal theory techniques. Meditation, yoga nidra, and emotional freedom technique (‘tapping’) are also available if drawn to these modalities.

My work is focused on the unconscious barriers and obstacles that hold us back from living lives of inner wholeness. I support you in creating a deeper connection to yourself, others and the natural beauty that surrounds and sustains us. My view is that life can only be fully experienced if we awaken to our inner essence, our souls. To acknowledge and understand that the world itself is ensouled as is the cosmos and the natural world. There is magic and unseen forces, and by connecting to them, we can connect to our inner compass. With this we find our deepest purpose for this wild and precious life.

Grief, loss, anxiety, depression, addictions are all an invitation to go deeper. To explore our inner landscapes with curiosity and wonder. To uncover the most beautiful and truest version of ourselves.

"Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine."

Carl Jung

SELF-DISCOVERY & GROWTH

For Parents & Caregivers

I am dedicated to empowering your child or teen on their journey of self-discovery and growth. Through our work together, we’ll identify and nurture their unique strengths and capabilities, and develop new skills to foster confidence, resilience, and a way forward in this changing world.

My approach is deeply rooted in somatic practices. Together we’ll focus on the powerful connection between mind and body. Working holistically enables your child to recognise and develop their embodied intelligence – supporting safety, regulation and connection.

By listening to and learning to trust this inner guidance – their ‘golden compass’ – your child will develop a powerful tool for navigating life’s challenges and opportunities. This embodied self-awareness becomes a foundation for decision making, managing emotions, and building meaningful relationships.

My goal is not just to address current challenges, but to equip your child with lifelong skills for self-reflection, emotional regulation, and personal growth. As they become more attuned to their inner world, they’ll naturally begin to flourish, approaching life’s adventures with curiosity, confidence, and wonder.

Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where your child can explore, learn, and grow, setting them on a path to become the best version of themselves in this beautiful, complex world.
