This is nervous system capacity building. Not therapy, not clinical treatment, not support work… the steady, practical work of helping your body feel safe enough that the rest gets more possible. Self-regulation, everyday independence, being around other people without it costing you the whole day.
What this actually is
That's the whole point, and it's the opposite of how a lot of support is set up. We work through movement, nervous system regulation, and the small habits that quietly hold a life together, woven into one thing rather than kept in separate boxes to tick.
The work tapers on purpose. As your own skill grows, sessions get shorter and lighter, because you're becoming the expert on you. I walk with you while that happens, and then I get out of the way.
What you walk out with
If therapy is next, you arrive there with ground to stand on. If it isn't, you've built a life that supports your nervous system rather than working against it.
Inside the intake
The full twelve-week outline is available on enquiry. Here's a taste of the shape.
What the autonomic nervous system actually does. What freeze, shutdown, hyper- and hypo-arousal feel like from the inside, so you can name the state you're in rather than fight it. A lot of the relief comes early here, because you finally have language.
Resourcing, orienting, working within your window, titration. Small, safe-enough practices you can do at home to start. Chosen from the ones that are safest for nervous systems that have been through a lot, drawn from Irene Lyon's SBSM (with permission) and Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing.
Walking with them. In the car park. At the shops. In busier places. This is where the work stops being a nice thing you do on a cushion and starts being a life you can live in.
Sleep, food, movement, rhythm. Not another wellness list. Practical shifts, one at a time, that steadily raise your baseline so the hard days cost you less.
Two ways in
Online, or in person in Christies Beach. Built entirely around you and where your nervous system actually is right now. This is the way in for people who'd find a group too much, or who simply want to go deeper without the noise of others in the room.
Moving through the work alongside a few others at the same stage. Everyone starts and finishes together, so nobody parachutes in halfway, lost. The group runs if enough of the right people come together for this intake, so if it calls to you, put your name down and I'll let you know.
One intake, one real door
I'm running this once this year. One cohort, everyone together, start to finish. Enrolments close Sunday 6 September. I won't be running it again until 2027.
That isn't a countdown gimmick, it's just true. And nobody gets left mid-air when it ends: everyone who finishes is gifted a course, with the tools to keep doing the work on your own. You leave with more capacity than you came in with, and the means to hold onto it.
Who's walking with you
I've spent more than twenty years working with people on the things that don't fit in a neat box: their bodies, their goals, their mental health, their next step. Youth work with young people who've been through complex trauma and hardship, employment and career mentoring, training and program development across community services, a boutique fitness studio I built and ran for years, and the last few years working directly inside the NDIS as a support worker, helping people build the routines and independence their plans are actually aiming at.
I've done the work in my own body, and I keep doing it. Complex PTSD and ADHD are part of my own life, not a list of symptoms I read about once, so this terrain is familiar from the inside, not just from the training. And I've spent a whole career learning how to teach a skill so it actually sticks, not just lands nicely in the room. (I'm not a healed guru. I'm someone still in it, which is exactly why I can sit with you in it.)
The formal bits, for anyone who needs them: Certificate IV qualifications in Community Services & Health (Youth), Workplace Training & Assessment, Career Development and Personal Training; Trauma-Informed Coach accreditation; Child Safe Environments training and a current Working with Children Check; plus a nervous-system training intensive I integrate into the work. I don't claim to be a therapist and I don't deliver allied health or clinical treatment. I bring the qualifications, training and experience listed here to practical skills development and capacity building. More about me and my background here.

How this works · NDIS and private
What changes between NDIS and private isn't the work, it's the shape around it, and that's decided by how each one is funded.
Under the NDIS, it's session by session. You're never locked in… you can start, pause or stop as you need, and you only ever pay for the sessions you actually have. I invoice each one as we go, and the work lives in our sessions together. That flexibility is deliberately on your side.
Privately, I can build you something more wraparound: a tailored plan, billed as a block or ongoing, with support between sessions, not just in them. It's for people who already know this is theirs and want to go all in. The Deep Dive is the fullest version of that, daily access in business hours, longer sessions that taper as your skill grows, and my Movement and Mindfulness platform, community and Q&As alongside the one-to-one work.
Starting rates
Self-managed and private clients aren't bound by NDIS price limits. Plan-managed supports are billed within the NDIS cap. The private three-month Deep Dive block sits on its own page.
The bigger picture
Alongside this, I'm running the movement side of my work as a pilot this year, with pole communities and other sectors, to build the stories for exactly this kind of nervous system work. The aim is to take it to the community services, mental health and trauma recovery sectors, so more of the people who need it can actually reach it. This capacity-building work sits on the same thread.
It's early, and it's real. If you're in one of those sectors and this resonates, I'd love to talk.
If it feels like it might be yours
It does the first bit of working out whether we're a fit, for both of us. No pressure, and no commitment in filling it in. I've kept this deliberately small so I can hold each person properly… I'd rather work with a few people well than a crowd badly.
