Discover your Authenticity, Embrace your Inner Wisdom, Realise Your Full Potential
Women often come to me feeling like something inside is broken? Or they feel stuck and unhappy, even if they have everything they want, they still can't FEEL happy.
They have usually tried everything, from doctors to healers to therapists and still don't feel fixed! All they're searching for is to be well and find some peace....and it seems SO out of reach!
Their life feels like groundhog day, filled with feelings of being anxious, stressed and that deep feeling of emptiness. They are struggling with work and their health is going down the drain. Relationships are often full of difficulties and feel as though they need a lot of effort. They have lost their spirit, that authentic self and don't know how to find it.
After completing tons of personal development and courses, they still find themselves falling back into those repeating patterns that just aren't serving them anymore.
I do understand, I've been there too. I've suffered trauma in my life and I went searching for answers just like you are seeking today. And I found it difficult to find someone who could help me reconnect to my authenticity, Grace and inner wisdom. There was no sense of peace and flow, I felt like there was a part of me that was dead inside. I had lost my spirit!
I CAN HELP YOU, IF...
You are ready to do the work you need to do to make these changes in a sustainable way. I stand for authenticity and that takes some effort.
My holistic approach helps the mind/body/spirit align so you can live the life you are meant to. Lose the inner battle and feel your spirit come back to life. I help you identify those repeating patterns that didn't start with you and facilitate a process that can free you and your children from generational suffering.

I am a holistic psychotherapist and have a focus on transforming unresolved trauma and facilitating growth through trauma. The trauma can be any life event that was traumatic, PTSD, complex trauma, cancer or another life limiting illness that has consumed your life. I specialise in working with trauma, stress reduction, grief and end of life support.
I imagine that recovery to some may be something you can't quite get your head around at the moment and that's ok. My clients are usually people who have suffered the symptoms of trauma for many years and do find it difficult to really trust they can recover. They have also often spent a long time trying to find ways to help themselves. Check out the testimonial page to see what my clients have discovered about themselves while working with me.
What is clear from working with many clients is that so many people live their lives with unresolved and more sadly unacknowledged trauma. They isolate themselves! Often people seek an appointment because of the following reasons.
Mental health issues such as:
* suicidal ideation or attempt; * depression; * PTSD; * anxiety; * panic attacks; * eating disorders; and * addictions of all kinds.
Health issues such as:
* insomnia; *IBS ; * excess weight or loss of weight; * chronic fatigue / exhaustion; * cancer; *auto-immune disorders and * chronic illness of all kinds.
Emotional issues such as:
* overwhelm; * stress; * bullying; * domestic abuse; * feeling unhappy / unsatisfied; and *feeling blocked /stuck in life.
Spiritual issues such as:
* feeling disconnected; * lack of life purpose; * aversion to previous faith; * searching for meaning; and * sense of feeling lost.
I view all of these as symptoms of trauma. Unattended grief or trauma can sit beneath these symptoms.
"Trauma survivors have symptoms instead of memories" (Harvey, M. 1990)
What I can tell you is that I have witnessed my clients recover more than they ever imagined and are now leading more balanced and happier lives.
I believe that many people are looking for change in the way their healing occurs. To do this we need to move away from the biological (physical) model which has a single focus of working on the part that is sick and embrace a mind/body/spirit/environment attitude toward healing. Your environment (field) is extremely important to consider when working from a holistic perspective, because if your environment doesn't support your desire to change then we need to look at ways to counteract this.
How healing is done is in transition! People are taking back the responsibility of their health which is the first step toward empowerment!
I will facilitate processes that give you the opportunity to unlock your healing potential. That could be a psychological diagnosis such as PTSD, anxiety/panic attacks and depression.
Or you may have a physical diagnosis such as cancer, IBS or any other health issue. If your diagnosis is of a life limiting illness I acknowledge that not everyone survives. As a trained Amici (friend of the dying) and trained palliative care family support volunteer, I am willing to have the difficult conversations around death and dying. I will help you prepare for the end of your life in the hope that you can die at peace. Learn more about what an Amicus/Amici is here.
This business is based on Buddhist philosophy and I work with people of any faith or none. This is important because I am of the belief that Spirituality is an often overlooked, yet essentially important aspect to consider when working with people from an holistic perspective. That doesn't mean you have to have a belief or religion. The definition that I like to use for Spirituality is:
"Spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to the self, to others, to nature and to the significant or sacred" (International consensus conference - Puchalski, Vitillo, Hull & Reller, Vol 17, No. 6, 2014).
Rainbow Atma offers a variety of workshops, programs and retreats to support and encourage your change process. I see my role is to work myself out of a job! It's about walking with you until you validate and embody that strength and spirit within you that has supported you to survive. You have survived! Now it's time to thrive.
Of course you are always welcome to stay as part of the Rainbow Atma community, however that ends up looking.
Rainbow Atma has been shaped in response to what clients say they want. I am always listening and appreciate your input. Help me to understand a little about your situation by answering this one question. I truly want to hear what is impacting your life in this moment.
What's your #1 single biggest challenge in your life right now? Click here to answer, thank you.
Please be as detailed and specific as possible. Please go beyond saying "get healthy" or "improving relationships". The more specific and detailed you are, the more likely I'll be able to address your concern in future training :-)
Example: I want to improve my health. Currently I am carrying 10 kg more than I need. I crave sugar and take it in the form of processed food. I think I use food as comfort or to address my emotional state. The emotional state is usually boredom.
Get the idea ;)
I really want to know what is challenging you and I'm looking for the whole picture. Write as much as you want.
