24.01.2022 I spent some time over the wkend with my beautiful friend and colleague Bianca @gl_osteo_chiro dreaming up our one day retreat for Mothers @banksiawellnessretreats in Forster on the 28th March. Movement, yoga, creative play and yummy food. I cannot wait to hold space with this beautiful woman

17.01.2022 Beautiful words @tokopa

16.01.2022 Little hands and feet exploring the sensory world for the first time. Having a partner in crime for my daily adventures has absolutely increased my ability to sink into the sensory experience of being in this world (not accounting for the sleep deprived days that are a bit of a haze that is). The things she notices and touches with her hands. The smallest patterns on walls, the tiniest animals crawling along the ground. Things I would’ve walked right on by. It feels so natur...al to explore the world through a sensory lens however it doesn’t come so fluidly to adults. Watching her smoosh mashed potato all over her face because it feels good. Playing in puddles and covering herself in dirt. There is a point when this unbridled enthusiasm for sensory exploration starts to diminish. I have to work hard to include it in my day. Make a choice to go play with her in the dirt it’s not a choice for her. She just does it. Spontaneous right action no thought that this is going to dirty my shirt which I’m going to have to deal with later. Nope not in her peripheral. She is such a beautiful teacher to me. The gift of sensory exploration is foundational to my work as an Art Therapist. As I watch her and play with her I am reminded of that place that we all have within us and that I am holding space for in my work as an Art Therapist. #arttherapy #counselling #sensoryexploration #individualtherapy #yogaformentalhealth

15.01.2022 I so often forget how powerful my vulnerability is. If I have the courage to show up as I am then I am also extending that to others. #arttherapy #counselling #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #grief #carers #yogaformentalhealth

13.01.2022 I highly recommend checking out this organisation if you aren't familiar. Such a great initiative

11.01.2022 Oil pastels can offer such a powerful sensory experience. The layers upon layers that are possible. The strong finger and hand movement that may be required to smudge the medium. How does utilising this medium tap into the sensory qualities of the experience? This is a question that I am constantly considering. Art Therapy invites a potential to witness the sensory experience within a therapeutic relationship. Not just the words but what lies beneath, possibly beyond language.... I love this work. #arttherapy #creativeexploration #oilpastels #counselling #bulli #therapy #yoga

11.01.2022 Could not imagine any present better to wake up to under the tree than a gifted retreat..! We have created a beautiful voucher to print. Do you have a loved on...e that would relish the time to retreat, and spend 3 nights stargazing?? This photo is taken from our Myall Lakes Retreat venue. Our stars this way are unbelievable..

09.01.2022 What a beautiful day full of connection, movement, nourishing food and creative exploration at our Mother's Retreat on Sunday. Looking forward to holding this space again in the future! If you're interested in retreating with us @banksia_wellness_retreats check out our website. We have a 3 night retreat at Bombah Point coming up in May and a Mothers retreat in October in Bangalow.

08.01.2022 In NSW we are in an uncertain time again. A retreat may sound like the perfect antidote.. but what happens if our restrictions change? We will look after you.... Our terms and conditions allow for a full refund, or transfer to an upcoming retreat. Boldly plan for a retreat this coming year .. take rest and rejuvenate after a big 2020.

04.01.2022 Reflections this morning - adding and removing colour. Asking myself what it is I need right now? This is a great warm-up directive within an art therapy session (as well as a process in itself if the session unfolds that way).
