Sharing in case this belongs to one of the families who come to visit us..

Hope the precious bear finds their way home soon.

Is someone missing a friend? 🧸
We’re not quite sure when this little guy was left behind, but he’s been keeping us company at FF!
Help us find his person! 💗

Don’t worry he’s in very good hands in the meantime 🍦😂

This week we welcome the amazing Melinda into the Village family.

Meet Melinda ✨

With 25+ years of experience as a visual artist and arts educator, Melinda brings a deeply creative, embodied, and child-centred approach to art therapy.

She holds a Master’s in Therapeutic Art Practice, is a PACFA-certified counsellor and psychotherapist, and a registered art therapist with ANZACATA.

Melinda has extensive experience supporting children and young people, including many years in juvenile justice. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed care, neuro-affirming practice, and cultural responsiveness, helping every child feel safe, seen, and respected.

Passionate about sensorimotor art therapy, Melinda integrates art-making, movement, and body awareness to support healing, while also helping young people navigate grief, loss, and life transitions.

As a practising artist, she understands the transformative power of creativity and brings warmth, compassion, and a deep connection to nature into every therapeutic space she creates. 🌿🎨💛
