Welcome to Dance on the Spectrum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Geelong, Victoria, my practice offers a unique combination of movement therapy<\/strong> and counselling services<\/strong>, all delivered through a trauma-informed lens. With over 40 years of experience in dance and physical movement, I bring a deep understanding of the body\u2019s role in healing, growth, and self-expression. This foundation, combined with professional training supported by a Master of Counselling, ensures that each service is both creative and clinically grounded. My approach recognises that wellbeing is not one-size-fits-all, and I work with individuals to support emotional, social, and physical integration in ways that are safe, supportive, and empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I provide therapy for both adults and children, with a particular passion for working alongside youth and in educational settings. Whether it\u2019s through counselling sessions<\/strong>, movement-based interventions<\/strong>, or integrated approaches<\/strong>, my focus is always on enhancing wellbeing and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive. By combining the power of movement with evidence-based counselling strategies, my practice offers a holistic pathway to resilience, self-understanding, and positive change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
