About me

“Every life is important, has purpose, brings meaning, regardless of form” – Bek McGarry

My hope is to help those who come into my world find some healing, whether that is physical, emotional, spiritual or psychological.  I believe we have all we need to heal & it is my role to help you or your animal access this wisdom & innate healing.    

I use a gentle, yet very effective modalities to assist your healing on all levels.   I am a professional member of the International BodyTalk Association, the Australia BodyTalk Association & counselling associations.  I have completed professional training, completed exams and gained practitioner qualifications in order to practice.  I have recently completed all the Advanced BodyTalk modules to gain Advance Practitioner status. I constantly stay updated with the latest techniques, knowledge & information.

I also have the privilege of currently studying traditional bush medicine & healing with a Wirradjirri elder Min Mia. Traditional bush medicine utilises everyday Australia plants for effective & powerful healing, a tradition that is 1000’s of years old. This healing modality also includes Light Shifting, which uses the universal energy to shift the light within our body to clear blockages that can cause illness, disease & imbalance.

In addition, I have an educational background in social work (Australian Catholic University) & psychology (University of Canberra) with post graduate qualifications in counselling (University of Canberra).  I am also a qualified Sandplay Therapist, Journey Practitioner & Interactive Drawing therapist.   I have worked in the community sector for more than 15 years as a family counsellor working with mental health and drug & alcohol issues & indigenous families.  I use all the knowledge, techniques & understanding I have gained through my education & experience to help you find your truth, increase your self-awareness & access your innate wisdom.

I welcome you to my healing space, Reconnect & Heal.  I practice in my beautiful yurt on our property Mulyan Birrik (eagle spirit in Wirrajurri), just outside Queanbeyan, here there is peace, calm, healing & connection.  My yurt is a tradition Mongolian Ger, here you will be welcomed & embraced with kindness, compassion & professionalism.

Personally, I have a deep love for animals having been a carer of wildlife for many years. I rescue, rehabilitate and release native wildlife that have been orphaned, are sick or have been injured. I care for kangaroo & wallaby joeys from a time when they are furless to adults that come into care. I am dedicated to these beings helping them get to a place where they can thrive and live out their days in the wild.

I am also blessed with a beautiful husband and a family of 4 adult children & a beautiful grandbaby, 2 dogs and chickens. We live on our property, building our straw bale house and living in a sustainable way. We have a love for all things wild, the trees, the earth, animals and us.

I look forward to working with you or your animal to find healing, peace, wisdom, direction & freedom.
