Hi I'm Rose,
Before I began facilitating healing for others, I spent years dedicated to my own healing.
I experienced severe & complex trauma as a child and teenager that resulted in various forms of dis-ease in my early adulthood (depression; anxiety; eating disorders; attachment issues).
I felt like I was being swallowed by chaos but at the same time not fully alive.
It was as though I was in the world but not really of the world.
I tried talking therapies & although I could understand what had happened in my mind I could not feel it in my body.
Then I decided it was time to try some different therapy options.
Over the past 12 years my personal healing journey has included: Art Therapy; Yoga; Vipassana Meditation Retreats; Gestalt Therapy; EMDR; Menstrual Cycle awareness & lifestyle; Somatic Experiencing; Feminine Embodiment; Shamanic Womancraft; Coaching & plant medicines.
Although this journey sometimes felt uncomfortable, as I released & felt pain, I also expanded my capacity to feel pleasure.
I started to feel more me.
It was like I was meeting my authentic self for the first time.
As though I could see in colour again after a long time of only seeing in black & white.
I now live a vibrant, embodied life and I want everyone to feel this way...
To feel Safe
To feel Authentic
To feel Free

Testimonials
Rose created a safe place for me to be totally myself in our sessions. She welcomed all the parts of me I needed to explore, and this included my art making too. I not only have a better relationship with myself, but also with my artwork, and approach my creativity without fear or self-judgement now. I love working with Rose, and will reach out to her in the future for more session when I need to. "

I reached out to Rose to work together after seeing her advertise that she does Somatic therapy. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but through my experiences I was aware of the connection between the body and trauma (not just the mind), so I wanted to explore this area. I have tried counselling and found that that didn't work for me. I wanted a deeper dive into my trauma rather than situational relief.
In short, we made considerable progress over our sessions, and it concluded for now with me feeling satisfied that I got what I needed from the process.
Rose is a great listener. She is attentive and created a safe environment for me to share and explore without shame or judgement, but with compassion and empathy. This is something that was really important to me; I really felt safe and understood.
I found it to be a deeply empowering process - to uncover the potential roots of some of my issues, the physical and psychological triggers and even to have my feelings and experiences validated by somebody was deeply powerful.
The artwork in particular was an interesting area. It helped me discover creativity I didn't know I possessed. I particularly enjoyed that part of the process and I think it will serve me in the future.
I would recommend Rose to anybody based on my personal experiences. Working with her has already yielded tangible positive benefits in my life - I'm glad I reached out when I did."

Thank you for holding the gathering of such incredible, strong and brave women... their stories and energies truly took my breath away"
- Sal, Women's Circle 2021
" The women and the moon course has deeply connected me with myself and the world around me, I understand how I am apart of nature. I feel I have now been able to transition into a new wiser version of myself which has tripled my confidence and allowed me to see my path more clearly.
Here I’ve gained a practice that’s moved as I do, in cycles, being able to release parts of myself I didn’t know I was holding onto or was able too. A knowledge I wish every woman knew and cannot wait to pass this wisdom onto my daughter "
