Since 2004 I have been running my own practice in various massage and bodywork modalities and am a qualified Doula (Birth Attendant). As well as using bodywork to support and nourish women though life’s many challenges, I am passionate about supporting women and girls through important times in their life and rites of passage. My bodywork practice is in Kensington Park and I host the Adelaide Hills Moon Lodge in a 7m yurt on my property in Aldgate. This is for womens’ gatherings and for Celebration Day for Girls.

I’m thrilled to be able to offer Celebration Day for Girls workshops for mothers and their daughters. My own daughter experienced her own precious rite-of-passage process some years ago & it serves her extremely well as she navigates her way as a young adult.

My long-ago professional background was in environmental management. Women’s work is closely related – it’s my understanding that the Earth will only be restored ecologically with the simultaneous restoration of a balanced feminine/masculine world.

In recent years I have been teaching yoga, facilitating rites-of- passage retreats in Bali (with Step into Womanhood), hosting women’s healing circles and studying ecotherapy. I also create ephemeral art works and nature mandalas. Additionally, I am sometimes called to teach adult sustainability education programs. I am based in Adelaide and can travel to rural/regional SA if required.
