COMMUNITY WELLBEING
Community Wellbeing
Building Connection, Resilience & Belonging
I work with organisations, councils, health services, schools and community groups to design and deliver programs that support mental health, wellbeing, resilience and social connection.
Grounded in counselling, mindfulness, trauma-informed practice and community development principles, my work creates opportunities for individuals and communities to strengthen their capacity to navigate challenge, foster belonging and cultivate meaningful connection.
“Wellbeing is not created in isolation. It emerges through our relationships with ourselves, each other and the wider world.”
How I Work
My approach is informed by two decades of experience across counselling, mindfulness education, yoga, community development, international development and wellbeing facilitation.
Many of my programs are informed by the Three Pillars of Presence:
Connection to Self
Connection to Others
Connection to Nature & Spirit
Together these pillars support wellbeing, resilience and community flourishing.
Areas of Focus
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Supporting emotional wellbeing, resilience and mental health literacy through accessible and evidence-informed programs.
Mindfulness & Embodied Awareness
Practical approaches to mindfulness, nervous system regulation and embodied self-awareness.
Connection & Belonging
Creating opportunities for meaningful social connection and strengthening community relationships.
Women's Wellbeing
Supporting women's mental health, resilience and connection through group-based learning and reflective practice.
Nature-Based Wellbeing
Exploring the relationship between wellbeing, place, seasonal rhythms and connection to the natural world.
Community Resilience
Supporting communities to respond to challenge, uncertainty and change through strengthening connection and collective wellbeing.
