Hi, I’m Karena. I live, work and play in Melbourne (Naarm) on Wurundjeri Country and in Drouin & Warragul, Gippsland, Victoria on Gunaikurnai and Bunurong Country. I also holiday with my family at Wilsons Promontory (Yiruk and Wamoon).
Three personal leading principles revealed to me are: seeing beauty in the eyes of others; service as a clay pot - holding space, containing, empty, filled, caring; and finding strength in joy. In my life, I have experienced moments of heartfelt awareness that can help us transform life’s challenges into life’s gems.
I collaborate with individuals, families and children, learning and care teams, and community, to support health and wellbeing. My therapeutic lens includes:
• Occupational Therapy
• Family Systemic Constellation Work
• Internal Family Systems
• Haiku
• Nature Therapy
