I am a member of NZAC and focus on offering skills for regulating emotions and working towards healing/thriving. I have been instrumental in the mindfulness modalities for therapy and emotional regulation across Australasia since the mid 2000s. Improving relationship (even that which you have with yourself) is the path to thriving. My motto is: the past informed the present, but the NOW creates the future. There is no time like now to step up and grow your relationship wellbeing.

Hi, I’m Mel. I’m a somatic therapist trained in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and traditional psychotherapy. I’m drawn to experiential approaches that trust a person’s inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing.

I aim to work collaboratively, with warmth, humour, and integrity. Sessions blend conversation with gentle, present-moment exploration to help you understand your experience more fully and support meaningful, embodied change.
