Some experiences take us far from ourselves. Waypoint Within is a space for people ready to return — to their own mind, their own body, and their own sense of who they are.

Start Point

Waypoint Within offers three distinct pathways:
Counselling with Hypnotherapy
For people navigating trauma, cult or coercive control recovery, and identity rebuilding. Sessions combine talk therapy with hypnotherapy to work at both conscious and subconscious levels. Recordings of your hypnosis session or a personalised meditation are available on request.
Intimacy Coaching
For individuals and couples rebuilding connection, embodied confidence and relational depth. Drawing on somatic and tantric traditions, this work treats intimacy as a pathway to wholeness rather than a problem to fix.
Herbal & Sensory Packages
Handcrafted herb, oil and botanical collections to support and deepen your inner work — available to purchase online.
Sessions available as 2hr · 3hr · 10hr blocks · or ongoing 1, 3, 6 and 12 month programs. Three hour sessions preferred for deeper work. Pricing on enquiry.

About

I've been in practice for 25 years, qualifying as a naturopath in 1996 and spending the following decades accumulating an education that defies a tidy list — counselling, hypnotherapy, yoga instruction, kinesiology, tantra education, natural fertility management, and continuing study in behavioural change and trauma recovery.I recently returned from a decade living in Finland, my cultural home, and now practice in Wollongong, NSW — in person and online.
My approach is rooted in the understanding that the body holds what the mind cannot always articulate. I draw on somatic and embodied traditions — including tantric philosophy as a framework for wholeness, presence and the integration of all aspects of human experience — not as a religious practice but as a map for living fully in a body.
My work sits at the intersection of talk therapy, plant medicine and embodied healing. I bring herbs, flower essences and ritual practices into sessions as tools that trigger deep states and support lasting change.My work sits at the intersection of talk therapy, plant medicine and embodied healing. I bring herbs, flower essences and ritual practices into sessions as tools that trigger deep states and support lasting change.I have a long and diverse life behind me. I understand from the inside what high-control relationships and environments cost a person — and what genuine recovery requires. I was a named contributor in the BBC World Service investigative series World of Secrets: The Bad Guru- an investigation into the MISA cult and its founder Gregorian Bivolaru. In 2024 I spoke at Decult, Australasia’s inaugural cult awareness conference, held in Christchurch, New Zealand.I work with clients across Australia and Europe and am available in both time zones. In-person sessions in Wollongong, NSW.
