Based in Parkdale, Bayside Melbourne — helping women reconnect with themselves
📍 Parkdale VIC | 💻 Zoom Australia-wide Like many, my past has been filled with ugly moments and deep trauma. As a child, I faced sexual abuse, followed by toxic relationships where my partner's addiction became the catalyst for me leaving and stepping into the challenging role of a single mum to two young children. In

my late 20s, while juggling motherhood, I secretly struggled with debilitating panic attacks. Fearful of being seen as anything less than a strong, independent woman, I kept my suffering hidden. The weight of it all became unbearable, and I sought help to break free from the spiral I was in. I vividly remember going to my doctor, only to be told, "It’s all in your head." While that phrase stuck with me, I was left confused, with no tools or guidance on how to change what was happening inside me. Thankfully, fate intervened, and I found a healer who would shift my world in ways I never imagined. Over the next 20 years, I committed to peeling back the layers of pain and releasing the limiting beliefs that had held me hostage for so long. Each session, each breakthrough, helped me reclaim a part of myself that I had lost to trauma and fear. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of trusting my intuition and silencing the external noise. I stopped seeking validation or direction from others and began to recognise that the answers I needed were always within me. This realisation led me down a completely different path—the path I was always meant to walk. Suddenly, everything clicked. After a lifetime in the corporate world, I found the courage to leave that life behind. I embraced my journey fully, listening to my heart and soul, trusting that I was on the right path. And that journey has led me here—to a place where I can help others through their own healing, transformation, and empowerment. Now in my 50s, I am filled with gratitude for every part of my journey. I am finally living life by my own rules, continuing to grow, heal, and make the most of each day. And through my experiences, I’m here to guide others to do the same—to find peace, to release what no longer serves them, and to embrace the life they truly deserve.

We don't think twice about seeing someone for a sprained ankle.

A racing mind at 2am? A heart that's been quietly breaking for months? We're told to push through. Handle it. Get on with it.

Emotional pain deserves the same care as a physical injury. Not eventually. Now.

Healing doesn't have to feel heavy. It can grow through lightness and safety, instead of more intensity.

You're allowed to ask for help before it becomes an emergency. 🧡

You might be wondering what I've been up to...

Alongside my business, I've started working a bit more in the NDIS space and joined the beautiful team at Support Chain as a Psychosocial Recovery Coach.

I love this work. It's already making a difference: helping people build confidence, everyday skills, and the steadiness to make their own decisions again.

This sits right alongside everything else I do. Same belief, a different door: people finding their way back to themselves.

So if you're one of my clients, please know my private practice isn't going anywhere. Counselling, coaching, Reiki, tarot and Deep Reset Massage, all still here, all you need to do is contact me directly to book either online or at my Parkdale space.

If you notice a little less availability from me some weeks, that's why. 🤍

And if you know someone who could use a Psychosocial Recovery Coach, and has NDIS funding for this kind of support, please send them my way. Message me directly, or reach out to Support Chain. ☺️

Please join us in welcoming Jo to the Support Chain team in her new role as Psychosocial Recovery Coach.

Jo is passionate about supporting participants with psychosocial disability in their recovery journey, helping them build on their strengths, develop new skills, strengthen resilience and increase confidence in decision-making.

With a Diploma of Counselling and experience as a mental health support worker, Jo brings both knowledge and compassion to her role. We're excited to have her on the team and look forward to the positive impact she will make in the lives of our participants.

Welcome to the team Jo!

To learn more about Jo, call Support Chain on 0417 498 862 or fill out a referral form on our website at www.supportchain.com.au

Ever feel stuck in your own head, going over the same thoughts on repeat? 🔮

Sometimes the answer isn't more thinking, it's a different lens to see things through.

Tarot isn't about predicting the future. It's a tool for tapping into your own intuition and getting clarity on what you already know deep down.

Whether you're navigating a big decision, feeling unsure about a relationship, or just craving some clarity and direction, a reading can offer that gentle nudge in a new direction. 🧡

✨ Available in person, online, or by phone — whatever feels most comfortable for you.

If your mind's been loud today and you're after a little clarity...

Drop your name below and let's see what message finds you today.

No overthinking it. Your name is enough.

I'll be working through them all day, so keep an eye out for yours. 🧡

Some weeks you just need someone to help you untangle what's actually going on in your head. 🧠💛

That's what I'm here for. Holistic counselling & coaching isn't about a quick fix — it's about looking at the whole picture (mind, body, life stuff) and figuring out what's actually going to help you move forward.

Available online or in person, whatever works for you.

If you're not sure where to start, that's exactly what the free 20-min chat is for. No pressure, just a conversation. Link in bio 💬

This is something I see so often in the women I work with

Not because they’ve done anything wrong
but because they’ve spent so long being everything for everyone else

Holding it all together
Putting others first
Showing up no matter what

And somewhere in all of that…
they lost connection with themselves

You are not just the roles you carry

You are a whole person
with needs
feelings
and a life that matters too

And the truth is…
when you start to come back to yourself
when you begin to honour what you need

It doesn’t take away from the people around you

It actually strengthens everything

Because you’re no longer running on empty

If this feels like you, take a moment and ask yourself:
When was the last time I did something just for me?

You’re allowed to come back to yourself 🧡

Joy isn't something we find out there..
a new purchase, a finished to-do list, the "perfect" circumstances.

It's already in us, waiting to be uncovered. 🌿

So much of the work we do together, whether it's counselling, Reiki, or simply learning to regulate your nervous system, is about clearing the noise so that joy has room to surface again.

It was never missing. It was just buried under stress, overwhelm, or old stories about what you need before you're "allowed" to feel good.

What's one small thing that brings you joy today? 🤔☺️😍
