I've spent over 10 years in the mental health and wellness sector, specializing in youth mental health, women’s wellness, and holistic healing services. I am a holistic psychotherapist by training, with an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, alongside a Master of Mental Health (Psychotherapy Stream) Degree from the University of Queensland, Faculty of Medicine. 

During my postgraduate studies, I had the privilege of developing in-depth knowledge and skills in Cognitive Behavioural, Family Systems, and Psychoanalytic approaches. I also became an avid researcher of breathwork, an ancient healing modality with its roots in Tibetan wisdom, that is gradually evolving into an evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, amongst other areas. Shortly after completing my thesis on The Therapeutic Applications of Holotropic Breathwork, I completed my Trauma-Informed Breathwork Certification with The Whole Health Project, and my Reiki Certification in Ubud, Bali.

My intention behind creating The Inner Orchard is to offer clients a path to sustainable healing, integrating diverse healing practices in a way that fosters balance and lasting well-being.
