ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Edie, I’m a therapist, sensitive empath, creative and lover of nature. I dwell between Melbourne (Naarm) and Northern NSW (Bundjalung). On my days off you will find me reading in nature, floating in bodies of water, painting, cooking, listening to music and loving my community. Want to hear about my journey into this work? read on.
Ever since I can remember, there's been an insatiable curiosity in me for mystery. A chronic people watcher, listener, wonderer and day dreamer, ever since i was little I’ve wanted to know and understand the inner workings of human beings. In a world where so much energy goes towards building walls around forbidden topics and shoving them deep down into hidden places I cant help but gently pull them out and see what there is to learn. I landed in this work accidentally, and soon realised it was my calling, and felt full of meaning and richness.
This path was forged with the wisdom and guidance of my teachers, my mentors, my leaders and my support people, and I am forever grateful for this influence.
My work is a tapestry of institutional training and study, alongside lived experience of self-enquiry and my own healing journey.
I’ve completed 5 years of study in both institutional and informal settings; in Sexology, Menstrual Cycle Awareness, Birth Work, Somatics and Embodiment, Psychotherapy and Art and Mentoring. Through my extensive education, I’ve completed the necessary training to work in a trauma informed, anti-oppressive and anti-pathologizing capacity, as I believe these elements provide a supportive foundation upon which to build.
My speciality areas include, but are not limited too; anxiety, overwhelm, relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma, sexual pain, sexual shame, pleasure and embodiment, limiting beliefs, early childhood experiences and sexual trauma. As a therapist, I deeply value the therapeutic relationship. I honour and respect the uniqueness and individuality of each client’s journey. My approach to this work will always prioritise my clients’ innate capacity for self-healing, as well as recognise them as their own best teacher.
My primary intention is to provide a safe container for people to venture inward and to become an unwavering companion on their voyage. I aim to provide someone with the space to work through their deepest vulnerabilities, to explore their most complex experiences, and most importantly, to welcome it all. Our sessions together will foster a deep sense of safety, trust, empathy and compassion.
