Hi there, I’m Christina

Holistic social worker (counsellor), griever, energy healing practitioner).

​

Hi there,

I'm Christina, holistic social worker, Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting practitioner, Reiki Master-Teacher . ​If you’ve found your way here, chances are your heart,  or your nervous system, is holding more than it was ever meant to carry alone.  Maybe you’re grieving someone you love. Maybe cancer has shaken your world and left you feeling raw, frightened, stuck adn exhausted. Maybe the stress of caring for everyone else has slowly drained your energy until you barely recognise yourself. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know something:

​

You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed.
And there is a gentler, more empowered way through this.

​​

Grief and Stress Aren't Problems to Be Fixed. 

They are Invitations to Awaken and Transform. 

​

Grief is not something to “move on” from. Stress is not something you simply “push through.” Both are signals calling you back to your body, your truth, your needs, and your inner light. 

 

For over a decade as an oncology social worker and holistic practitioner, I’ve walked beside people in their heaviest moments, from cancer diagnoses, through treatment uncertainty, and end of life care, through anticipatory grief, bereavement, burnout, identity loss, emotional collapse, and everything in between. And what I’ve learned through life's most demanding moments is this:

​

People don’t just need coping strategies.

They need nervous system support, emotional release, energetic balance, and a safe place to soften.

This is the work I do.

​

As you might have already guessed, I’m not your traditional therapist. Yes, I do have a Master’s in Social Work (registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers),  and I'm clinically trained with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through stress, cancer, grief, and life’s hardest moments, but my work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I weave together powerful mind-body-spirit practices like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Matrix Reimprinting, and Reiki to help you move through grief and stress in a way that feels gentler, compassionate, and deeply transformative.  My hope is that you discover that you can move through any circumstance with more ease, calm and confidence. 

​

Why This Work Matters To Me.

My relationship with grief began long before I stepped into therapeutic roles.

 

​At 8 years old, I lost my Aunt Jenny, my childhood superhero who lived with muscular dystrophy. Though paralysed from the neck down, she glowed with joy, humour, and resilience. Her presence taught me that while the body may weaken, the energy of love never fades.

​

Years later, my Yiayia Julia died - she was an almighty Greek warrior woman who raised her family with softness, strength, and a magical ability to turn even a beach swim into a sacred memory. I was honoured to support her during her final hours with Reiki, witnessing how love truly transcends the body.

​

But between these two experiences, there was a long stretch where grief lived inside me as a quiet, unspoken storm.

 

It shaped my beliefs.

It rewired my fears.

It influenced how I moved through the world.
It lived in my nervous system long before I understood it.

​

And this is where stress and grief meet, not just in the mind, but in the body.  Stress and grief live in the heart, in the energy fields around us, and in the stories we carry. And like so many of us, I didn’t know how to process it. Instead I avoided places, people and things that triggered me, and I told myself to stay strong.  I pushed through it all, until my body couldn’t anymore.

​

What changed everything was discovering that healing isn’t about erasing suffering.  Instead, it's about integrating love, loss, stress, and meaning in a way that allows you to live fully again.
