Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud

My focus is to support trauma-informed practitioners to nurture rewarding and sustainable professional practice while serving our communities. I'm passionate about supporting practitioner teams and leadership groups to engage in meaningful and engaging collective care and capacity building activities. I work in collaboration with  non-profit agencies, community groups and social enterprises and in partnership with  practitioner trainers from diverse disciplines. 

Workshops are designed to be fun, interactive, challenging and practical supporting participants to learn and grow personally and professionally while developing new skills and understandings, for example:

• Trauma-informed Practice in the Community, Cumberland City Council and Local Government Multicultural Network
• Resilient Team Workshop, Lou's Place
• Introduction to Trauma Informed Care and Practice for DV Workers, City of Canterbury Bankstown
• Self Care & Resilience for Optimal Performance, Inclusive and Cohesive Communities NSW Conference
• Reflect & Nurture Workshop, Women's Initiative Network Retreat
• Self-Care Retreat for Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma, Wattle Place at Relationships Australia
• Self-Care for Frontline Workers, It's time to Talk Conference
• Therapeutic Presence for Trauma-informed Practice
• Assertive Communication Skills for Trauma Survivors

I collaborate in partnership with  trainers from a diverse disciplines to provide training and experiential learning workshops for individual, teams and community groups.

For example, in partnership with Dance Movement Therapist Juliette Kirkwood (DTAA Reg. No 208-01), we co-founded mBodyWisdom to provide interactive experiential workshops combining therapeutic movement, breathing techniques and practical strategies informed by the latest neuroscientific research to facilitate participants' wellbeing; support team cohesion and growth; and optimise personal and professional performance.
