I am here to support with all your wellbeing needs, but not in the usual ways.
My skills lie in being able to support & nurture you in ways that increase your own sense of worth, value in what you do & who you are. I have done extensive study to ensure the support I offer is current, up to date, individual, holistic & safe. Even the busiest of us all must make time for our health & Wellbeing, if we don't then our illness will force us to make the time.​​​
I have a special love for the busiest of them all. I myself 'walk the walk' & know just how it feels to be flat & agitated, to keep putting myself last on a long list. I can help you cut through the bullshit.
If this sounds like you, your team or a loved one, get in touch.
Ally
So many of us work in the helping or human services because we love what we do, we love to support people, elevate them & improve outcomes for them & their families & communities. Often we do this with very little thought or focus on ourselves, We gain a great deal of compassion satisfaction from our work & this is enough to sustain us.​
​
Over time however without some attention being paid to our wellbeing compassion satisfaction can get lost in the day to day struggle & is unlikely to be enough to protect our mental health or physical health from very common workplace hazards like compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, role overload & moral distress.
These are workplace hazards & they go along with the territory & there is absolutely no way they can be avoided unless you are using intentional & strategic, evidence based approaches to self-care, wellbeing & professional practice.
I am Alison, I am a social worker who creates evidence based resilience to burnout & recovery from burn out.
I can help you to find compassion satisfaction, strengthen your boundaries & prioritise the kinds of self-care that actually work & don't guilt you.

Evidence based approaches with spiritual practices
I have been working with people since I started my working life, I, like many people, began in customer service & hospitality, making my way to being a parent & back to university to become a social worker & more recently gathering additional qualifications of Yoga, Philosophy, Meditation & Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Grief & loss, that add value & synchronize with the whole journey so far.
I have come to realise that the best part of what I offer to others is in fact my experience, the wisdom gained from the whole of the process, that this is actually greater than the sum of the individual parts. My lived experience of chronic pain & illness, the raising of a teenager, the single mum journey, what I learned as a social worker & educator from some extraordinary humans managing within some really tough systems & holding space for them to find their way. What I have learned about myself, the importance of intentional self-care, while supporting others, while attempting to find my purpose & keep my head above water.
​
I have also come to realise that the way to find happiness & balance is not a simple one. Many of us seem to be living unintentionally, just stepping through life without connection to our purpose. It is winding, treacherous & scattered with both heartbreaking lows & exhilarating high leaving us unable to be aware enough to notice the in-between. That contentment is actually not at all possible without self-awareness, self-respect & some pretty decent boundaries.
​
I would love to take what I know, what I’ve learned, my therapeutic & holistic skills & to support women to shine in the way I often hear them say they wished they could, like I know they can! I know I can support you to build bravery, joy & Help you see that you deserve to be nourished & valued.
