ABOUT SACRED WOMEN’S JOURNEYS.

A women’s wellbeing SANCTUARY IN SUBIACO.

Sacred Women’s Journeys is a therapeutic practice offering awareness-based psychotherapy, counselling, private guided relaxation, and therapeutic circles for women in Subiaco, Perth, and online.

This work supports women navigating stress, burnout, anxiety, grief, and deeper transitions in identity, purpose, and meaning.

A RELATIONAL SPACE FOR WOMEN SEEKING AUTHENTICITY.

This is a grounded, relational space supporting you to meet your experience with awareness and honesty.

You do not need to have everything figured out to begin.

You are welcome to come as you are and move at your own pace.

This work supports you in deepening your relationship with yourself, others, and your environment.

MY APPROACH.

My work integrates:

  • Awareness-based, relational, and Gestalt-informed psychotherapy

  • Trauma-informed practice

  • Nervous system regulation and guided relaxation

  • Yoga, breathwork and meditation

  • Embodied and contemplative awareness

This approach supports:

  • Self-awareness and emotional insight

  • Emotional regulation and resilience

  • Self-trust and inner stability

  • Healthier and more authentic relationships

Rather than focusing on fixing or analysing, this work supports awareness, presence, and a deeper understanding of your experience as it unfolds.

PERSONAL & CULTURAL INFLUENCES.

My work is shaped by nearly 30 years of personal yoga practice and a lifelong engagement with contemplative traditions.

I have lived and studied in a range of cultural contexts, including Japan, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Australia.

My early study of Japanese language and culture continues to influence my appreciation of beauty, simplicity, and intentional living.
