You deserve to Lighten Up
Many of my clients find themselves feeling stuck in patterns of unworthiness, shame overwhelm, disconnection, fear, anger or powerlessness.
When what they are desiring is:
- Freedom from suffering
- More peace of mind
- To feel more in the flow of their life
- To experience more love and joy in their lives and in their relationships
- To feel empowered to make decisions that feel right for them
- To be able to see the magic in life

Meet Your Guides Kirsten & Louie!
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a deep desire to be of service to others.
I’ve also had a lifelong inquiry into questioning who I really am beyond my humanness. This spiritual thread has taken me down many roads and on many explorations and remains the most essential inquiry in my life.
After having my one and only child in my early 30’s I began my training as a Counsellor.
Motivated by my own healing journey, I focused my work around helping individuals heal from the impacts of trauma. Over the years I have worked in many different agencies and for the past 11 years have had a very busy and successful Private Counselling Practice.
It was unexpected challenges and change in my own life that finally brought the energy forward to create this new pathway. To offer something born from my own innate knowing of what has supported and moved me through difficult and challenging times and to evolve my work to reflect this.
Drawing on the modalities and spiritual understandings that I deeply resonate with, I intuitively created the Lighten Up pathway. This gentle and insightful pathway was what allowed me to begin to dissolve outdated patterns in my own life and in doing so made space for me to align even more to my authenticity and to prioritise more of what felt good.
Blending together the knowledge of modern science with ancient wisdom practices you too can learn to live in greater alignment to your light – where anything becomes possible
Introducing The Lighten Up Pathway
Befriend your nervous system
Our body/mind holds all of the patterning and programming that has been encoded on our system as a result of our life experiences. Our nervous systems can be experienced as tight and reactive; intensely emotional or we can feel cut off and disconnected. With education and exploration we can learn to be in ‘right relationship’ with the body/mind system. We then naturally begin to meet ourselves with more kindness and self-compassion.
Discover the inside/out nature of reality
When we begin to insightfully understand the inside/out nature of reality we expand our perspective on who we really are and therefore what we believe is possible. We can learn to take up our ‘eagles perch” connecting to our inner witness/observer that holds a broader more expansive view of our experience. Our attention becomes our superpower as it supports a unhooking from unhelpful, ruminating and untrue thinking.
Move lighter through life
Learning takes place in the head… understanding takes place inside the heart as direct experience. Bringing together both learning and understanding we can reveal and dissolve what is limiting and holding us back. We “feel it to heal it” and “see it to free it”! A beautiful byproduct of this pathway is a sense of moving through life in an easier and lighter way.

Kind Words
"Kirsten has been amazing in helping me to break things down and work on all my issues piece by piece..."
My decision to seek a counsellor was made because I had been going through so many changes in my daily life that I was losing sight of who I was and where was my place. Having had children grown up and new challenges I felt I needed to chat to someone about all my new thoughts and feelings and “the what now”.
Kirsten has been amazing in helping me to break things down and work on all my issues piece by piece to gain some clarity and confidence in moving on to the next phase and journey.
I highly recommend Kirsten, I feel like all the confusion and wondering has been removed and replaced with a pathway I can now navigate.
