I gratefully acknowledge the Larrakia (Saltwater people) as the traditional owners of the land on which I currently reside and I pay deep respect to their elders past, present and emerging. I stand on this land as a beneficiary of an uncompensated and unreconciled dispossession, which began over 200 years ago and continues today and through recognition I also seek action and change.
Welcome — I'm Nicole (she/her), an Accredited Social Worker, somatic practitioner, and Level 2 Yoga Teacher based in Garamilla (Darwin).
Across more than 20 years, my work has woven together counselling, somatic practice, and community‑based support in ways that centre safety, embodiment, and relational care.
My approach is grounded in polyvagal‑informed principles, somatic inquiry, and trauma‑informed practice. Whether I’m offering counselling, guiding yoga, facilitating clinician training, or holding retreat spaces, my focus is on creating environments where people feel supported, resourced, and able to meet themselves gently.
Across all parts of The Go Slow Collective, movement is accessible, rest is supported, and every practice — whether conversational, embodied, or on the mat — is offered as an invitation.
