Mia has been living the life of flow, open to the beauty the world has to offer for many a moon, being led to the medicine of dance through her own challenges as a youngster...in this way, opportunity arose to perform across Australia, to teach classes and workshops, and to be honoured to be Creative Director for the GWNH Annual Solstice Celebration for the past 10 years and performing both solo and with Phoenix Rising Troupe as a fire twirler while raising her 5 beautiful children.  It is through the experience of living in this delicious flow, leaning into it through challenging times, that birthed and underpins all of the rich learning of flow and teaching strategies on how to stay in "That Happy Place" regardless of what might be going on in the outside world.

"Mia helps me to feel more connected and less alone.  She listens to me without judgement and has helped me to rebuild trust in relationships as I share my embarrassing moments, struggles and laughter with her. When I cry she shows understanding through empathy and validation- she lets me be me!"

Mia holds a safe and nurturing space allowing me to feel safe to unfurl and discover deep parts of myself. Mia has the unique ability to tailor sessions on the spot, supporting whatever presents in the moment through her attentive listening and authentic relating, using her vast tool kit.

I feel so supported and cared for by Mia, she is able to read my cues and know what I need, sometimes before I notice myself! Mia makes every moment an adventure, when we find something like a feather, she helps me make a dream catcher, when we see an interesting food, she's enthusiastic to help me make it, it's always interesting and fun!

" I’ve  been part of a women’s circle and meditation classes with Mia as  facilitator, and have always felt nurtured in her presence. That Happy  Place has helped me on my wellness journey. I highly recommend. Mia is  both warm and professional. "

"Coming here is my favourite time of the week, I love the games we play and how calm I feel after"

 "There  is something absolutely magical about the massage treatment I received  from Mia. I melted on the table and was able to feel completely held,  safe and deeply relaxed. I could describe it almost as if she was  massaging my soul! Absolutely incredible! Thank you so much "
