  • The Willow Group

    Recovery after family violence

    The Willow Group is an 8-week online therapeutic group for women who have experienced family violence and are ready for supported recovery and rebuilding.

    Like the willow, this group is about strength with flexibility - offering a steady, compassionate space to heal, reconnect, and move forward at a pace that feels safe.

    This program is for women who are not currently experiencing active family violence and are no longer living with the perpetrator, with a focus on stabilisation, capacity-building, and connection.

    A trauma-informed understanding of family violence

    Nervous system and emotional regulation tools

    Support with shame, triggers, and self-care

    Increased confidence, resilience, and connection

    Parenting support, including co-regulation, boundaries, and understanding children through a trauma lens

  • Lunch & Learn

    Coming Home to the Body

    19th May, 2026

    12PM – 1PM AEDT

    You don’t need fixing.

    Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do to survive.

    But survival patterns don’t always help us feel calm, connected, or like ourselves.

    And no matter how much insight we have, change doesn’t happen in the mind.

    It happens in the body.

    This 60-minute Lunch & Learn is a gentle, practical journey back to yourself.

    Together, we’ll explore simple, embodied practices that help regulate your nervous system so you can move through the world - and your parenting - with more ease.

    You’ll learn:
    • Why your nervous system shapes how you react and relate
    • Why insight alone doesn’t create change
    • Practical, body-based tools you can use in everyday moments
    • How to support both yourself and your child to feel more regulated

    You’ll leave feeling more connected to yourself, with tools you can use straight away.

    A recording will be sent to all registered participants.

    Highly Sensitive Kids on School Holidays – Easter Special


    WED 7th APRIL 2026 | 12 - 1 PM AEST

    School holidays can be magical and overwhelming for highly sensitive kids.

    The change in routine. Extra social time. Travel. Family gatherings. Easter excitement. Late nights.

    What can look like attitude or overreacting is often a sensitive nervous system running on empty.

    This Easter special Lunch and Learn will help you understand why holidays can feel intense for highly sensitive children and what you can do to make them smoother, calmer and more enjoyable for everyone.

    We will explore:
    • Why sensitive nervous systems struggle with holiday transitions
    • The after the fun crash and how to prevent it
    • Simple ways to build in decompression and sensory buffers
    • How to support big feelings without escalating them

    You will leave with practical, nervous system informed strategies to help your highly sensitive child move through the holidays feeling supported rather than overstimulated and to help you enjoy them too.

    A recording will be sent to all registered participants.
