MEET
ELAINE
Since my twenties (now 60) psychology, psychotherapy, spirituality, yoga, meditation (Buddhist and Hindu), faith and personal growth have been, and still are my passion, yet balanced within my practical and down-to-earth nature.
Over the years all of the embodied skills and knowledge have informed and comforted me during my darkest moments of which there have been plenty, and help me notice and drink in the elixir of the most joyful moments too.
I love the rejuvenating energy of nature, gardening, yoga, meditation, the Sangha, cooking delicious and nutritious food, and being a part of my family's lives. I enjoy my career, study and life with my partner on the Sunshine Coast.
I sincerely welcome you to this space.
ABOUT ME
WHY DO
I DO THIS?
Simply, I deeply wish for everyone to be able to access their inner 'wise Self' and experience the 'Treasures of Being' that are happiness, compassion, peace, calm, confidence, clarity, curiosity, courage, creativity, connectedness and spirituality.
When we relate from our wise Self, we choose how we respond in situations, not from habitual scripts and knee jerk reactivity or withdraw passively.
We connect with others, we are vulnerable and assertive, we are sensitive yet courageous and kind in our communications, we can express deep respect, humility and awe in each other and are able to apply wisdom to our actions that support our being and the being of others.
ABOUT MY TEACHINGS
Key Teachers and trainings undertaken include; Richard Schwartz, Derek Scott, Bessel van Der Kolk, Steven Porges, Frank Anderson, Janina Fisher, Francine Shapiro, Bessell Van der Kolk, Frank Anderson and Peter Levine. Important personal teachers in my life are; HH Mandaleshwar Vishwaguruji Maheshwaranand, Sogyal Rinpoche and HH Mandaleshwar Shambhavanand.
When you long for blessings that you may not name, and when you grieve not knowing the cause, then indeed you are growing with all things that grow, and rising toward your greater Self.
Kahlil Gibran
Do you wonder that despite your best efforts to change or fulfil your aspirations, seemingly unconscious forces hold you back? Do you ever wonder 'there's got to be more to this life'.
There are Neuro-scientifically researched and evidence based techniques and interventions available that can help us heal attachment wounds where our needs were not met as infants and children, heal and understand repressed and distorted emotions, uncouple the energy behind triggers and automatic behaviours , understand how early beliefs and scripts drive unbalanced mood states and learn to heal the traumas behind them.
It's a journey toward a naturally occurring, compassionate state of being at ease in your body, your mind and emotions. The work is done by your-Self while I ground you, teach you, hold safe space and guide you along the way.

To gain some authentic relief, learn new skills and understanding about your specific concern, a minimum of 3 weeks, preferably 6 weeks. Of course you choose the duration according to your resources and target a specific concern to start with. Some folks will wish to continue if they find they are 'onto' something more (there is always more lol). A commitment of a few months is ideal.
$95 per session however upon application, I will provide a multi-session pass paid up front.
