EMDR and Biography work

EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing

EMDR therapy is a comprehensive, body-based approach that acknowledges the profound connection between our physical sensations and emotional well-being. At its core, this method employs bilateral stimulation (BLS) to guide you toward a clearer understanding of past experiences, facilitating effective resolutions and enhancing your overall health. This process can be further supported through biography work, and when combined with biodynamic craniosacral balancing, it can deepen the therapeutic effect.

How It Works

When we encounter trauma, our ability to fully process the event may be overwhelmed, leaving the memory stored in an incomplete form within our brainstem. Our body, mind, and spirit naturally seek closure; thus, when a similar situation arises, the trauma response can be triggered, reactivating those unprocessed memories alongside associated physical and emotional symptoms—as if the trauma were occurring all over again.

EMDR therapy works by promoting the complete processing and integration of these experiences. With each session, the emotional charge of the trauma diminishes, allowing you to confront current situations without the past interfering. Bilateral stimulation is essential to this process, but it necessitates thorough preparation to avoid overwhelming feelings when deeply embedded memories resurface. Additionally, integrating counselling services can provide further support and guidance throughout this journey.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that utilizes light contact of hands and fingers to support the body's innate ability to self-regulate. This approach tunes into the breath of life and heart wisdom, making it an ideal complement to counselling services for those seeking holistic well-being. Issues that can be addressed with Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing include: - General stress management - Supporting a healthy sleeping pattern - May reduce headaches and migraines - Support to regain flexibility after physical traumas - Calming effects on an overstimulated nervous system, such as toxic stress, to facilitate physical integration after a traumatic experience. Other light touch techniques, like orthobionomy, might also be applied. A typical series encompasses 4-6 sessions, which can vary depending on individual circumstances. For those who have experienced trauma, integrating EMDR therapy with Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing may enhance recovery and overall wellness.

Counselling for inner and outer clarity

As a qualified counsellor (ACA member), I offer compassionate counselling services that employ an experiential approach, helping you explore how thoughts, emotions, and beliefs shape your wellbeing. My work gently supports the release of tension—physically, emotionally, and energetically—through dialogue, body awareness, and deep listening. 

I also work with individuals living in environments bursting with treasures—spaces rich in memory, meaning, and sometimes, overwhelm. Whether funded through the NDIS or privately, sessions often begin with decluttering the inner world: clarifying thinking, feeling, and willing. From this inner clarity, external changes become more possible and sustainable. 

While counselling cannot be combined with body work, I also offer techniques like Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing for those interested. If you're unsure what modality may suit your needs best, including options like EMDR therapy, I invite you to take advantage of a 15-minute free call to discuss. 

I am proudly neurodivergent and, as such, affirming of neurodivergent experiences.

Personalised Affirmative Meditation

My offer to you is to co-create a personalized affirmative meditation. This 1 ½ hr. session, ideally scheduled after 2 counselling services or EMDR therapy sessions, will help us shed light on your life path by exploring 2-3 memories from each septennial lived. This process will best support you in:

- Clarifying your intentions and goals,

- Imagining how your life will transform once you achieve your goals,

- Considering how important people in your life might be affected if you pursue your highest goals and the changes that come with them.

After weighing the pros and cons, it’s time to commit to your set goals. Allow your affirmation to emerge through this reflective process. We will also record your affirmative meditation in your voice—please bring along your preferred background music. If you prefer, I can offer to read your meditation aloud for you.

Dipl. Counsellor (ACA Member) Dipl. Early Childhood Education

I am a dedicated practitioner focused on integrating body, mind, and soul through a holistic, evolving approach to healing. 

My journey began with physiotherapy in Germany in 1986. After migrating to Australia, I started working in 2004 as a remedial massage therapist, transitioning from manual techniques to subtle, light-touch treatments guided by the body’s innate wisdom. As I moved away from remedial massage, I am no longer an ATMS member.

In 2023, I began deepening my experience in counselling services, initially working for Inside Out Recovery, supporting individuals living in hoarded and squalor circumstances, mostly funded through NDIS. Since 2025, I have continued this work as an independent contractor. 

In my private clinic, I blend somatic awareness, experiential counselling, EMDR therapy, and biography work—available both in person and online. 

My approach is also informed by shamanic practices, psychosophy, and various meditation techniques—from dynamic to Vipassana and heart-based methods—addressing deeper energetic and spiritual layers, including past life patterns. Additionally, I incorporate Biodynamic Craniosacral Balancing to enhance the healing experience.
