I've had a beautiful few days in London to start my 40th birthday trip, and a few things have stood out to me.

✨ New experiences really do feed your soul. There is something about stepping outside of your everyday life that wakes up parts of you that have been waiting for a little more wonder.

✨ Learning something new is good for the brain. New places have a way of stretching your thinking, sparking curiosity and reminding you that there is always more to discover.

✨ Walking amongst centuries of history has been surprisingly grounding. So many people have walked these streets before us. They loved, grieved, celebrated, struggled, and dreamed. It reminds you that we are all just passing through, adding our own small chapter to a much bigger story.

Thank you, London, for a beautiful beginning. 🤍

With care,

I am so proud and excited to welcome Mira to The Still Space team. ✨️

Mira is a Counsellor and Meditation & Mindfulness Facilitator offering Australia-wide Telehealth counselling for adults navigating grief, loss, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, chronic illness, burnout and major life changes.

At The Still Space, we believe therapy should feel human, a space where people feel safe, understood and genuinely supported during life’s hardest moments. This is exactly what Mira brings into her work.

With an extensive background supporting cancer patients, carers and families, Mira has walked alongside people through fear, uncertainty, anticipatory grief, loss and emotional exhaustion. Her approach is warm, thoughtful and deeply person-centred, offering clients space to slow down, process what feels heavy and feel truly heard without judgement or pressure.

Drawing from counselling, mindfulness, nervous system awareness and trauma-aware practice, Mira supports people to reconnect with themselves, build emotional resilience and move through life with greater steadiness and self-understanding.

Mira also brings beautiful cultural awareness and openness to her work, shaped by her Indian heritage and experiences living and travelling across different parts of the world.

We are incredibly excited to now offer Australia-wide Telehealth counselling through Mira, helping more people access the unique style of therapy we value so deeply at The Still Space.

Please join us in giving Mira the warmest welcome. ✨

Bookings are now open.

Sammy ♥️

We don’t talk about health grief enough, if at all.

We don’t talk about what it’s like to grieve the body that once functioned differently.

We don’t talk about what it’s like to sit in uncertainty waiting for results, diagnoses, treatment plans, answers or help.

We don’t talk about all the plans you have to change or let go of because your body can’t show up in the same way it used to.

We don’t talk about what chronic illness, pain, or health diagnoses can do to the way you see yourself, your future, your relationships, your identity.

Let's change that.

Often, we don’t let ourselves grieve fully because we think we should just “be grateful,” “stay positive,” or “push through.”

But health grief is grief.

It deserves space. It deserves compassion. It deserves to be witnessed.

Therapy can become a space where you finally get to say all the unsaid things out loud. A space where you don’t have to minimise how hard it’s been. A space where you are allowed to grieve fully, honestly, and without pressure or judgement.

Leaving this kick a*s quote here from a book I’m reading at the moment by Kelly Weekers called Choosing Me. 🙌

So much truth telling and powerful perspective throughout.

Even when we feel like we don’t have a choice, we often do. We just have to figure out what is ours to carry from the past, what we want to let go of, and how to start making conscious choices beyond the unconsciously ingrained beliefs and behaviours we’ve learned over time.

The first step is awareness and understanding.

Where did you learn the ways you see yourself, the world, relationships, and what feels possible for your life?

Because when we begin to understand the origins of our patterns, beliefs and protective responses, change can begin.

Happy Saturday ✨️

Sammy ♥️

If you're one of my Engadine clients, you'll know the significance of the duck 🤣🦆

How beautiful is this thoughtful gift from one of my clients all the way from London. It already holds such a special meaning and will now have a very special place in our waiting room at The Still Space.

As we head into the weekend, I also want to send a little extra love to all the mums, mums-to-be, those longing to become mums, and those carrying the grief of pregnancy loss or the loss of a child.

Days like this can hold so many emotions all at once.

However this weekend looks and feels for you, I hope you are met with gentleness, support and care.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to all of my clients, colleagues and community ✨️

I’m so excited to announce that The Still Space has been named a finalist in the Sutherland Shire Local Business Awards in the Health Improvement category.

As you can imagine, this is a HUGE category filled with doctors, dentists, yoga studios, gyms, allied health professionals and so many incredible local businesses, so this honour truly means the world to me.

I dreamed of creating a mental wellbeing practice that feels like a second home for my clients. A space where you’re not just a number, but a whole person deserving of understanding, compassion and care.

To see and feel that vision come to life every day is honestly worth every tear, sacrifice and late night along the way.

Thank you to every person who has supported The Still Space, trusted me with your stories, attended a workshop, shared a post, referred a friend, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines. This recognition belongs to all of us.

I am beyond grateful and completely over the moon 🌙

With care,

What an honour 🙌

Today I had the privilege of facilitating a workshop for .

We connected with the theme of autumn and spent the day immersed in curated, evidence-informed practices that support emotional release, just like the way leaves fall from a tree during this season.

The necessary shedding before the next bloom.

From therapeutic journaling, to mindful movement, narrative therapy, and Tree of Life art, I witnessed attendees reconnect with parts of themselves that have been overlooked as their caring role demands so much of them.

One of the most powerful reflections shared today: “I’ve connected with parts of me I’ve ignored for way too long.”

The leading indicator of mental wellbeing is connection and today was a beautiful reminder of just how powerful that can be.

When your child feels overwhelmed, it doesn’t always come out as “I’m anxious.”

It might look like 👇

✨️ Big reactions
✨️ Shutting down
✨️ Worrying about things that seem small
✨️ Struggling with friendships or confidence

Underneath it all is often one thing, a nervous system that needs support.

Our Art Therapy Program is designed to support children to regulate their emotions, understand their feelings, and build the skills they need to navigate the world with more confidence.

Through creative, art therapy experiences in a small, supportive group, children learn to:

✨️ Regulate big emotions in safe and practical ways.
✨️ Understand and express feelings without overwhelm.
✨️ Build social and emotional skills with peers.
✨️ Reduce anxiety through calming, sensory-based practices.
✨️ Grow confidence in themselves and their abilities.

This is not about “fixing” your child.

It’s about supporting their nervous system, building skills, and helping them feel more in control of their inner world.

✨ 6-week program
✨ Tuesdays 4:00–5:00pm
✨ Starting 12 May
✨ Small group (limited spots)
✨️ $50 deposit then pay week to week

If your child needs a little extra support with big feelings or anxiety, this could be a really meaningful place to begin.

Last week, I had a client in the middle of a highly emotional moment.

An ex had reached out.

She wasn’t sure how to respond, what to say, how to say it, or how to stay true to herself while honouring her boundaries.

And in that moment, she didn’t have to sit in the uncertainty alone.

She knew she had my voice note support service to turn to.

She didn’t have to wait for a full session.
She didn’t have to second guess every word.
She didn’t have to carry it all by herself.

She reached out, sent me a voice note, we talked it through together, and she was able to move forward feeling grounded, clear, and confident in her next step.

This is what support can look like.

Not just in the therapy room, but in the real, messy, in-between moments where things actually happen.

Real support.
From a real therapist.
Right when you need it.

If you’ve ever found yourself wishing you had someone to check in with in those moments, this is exactly why I created Therapist in Your Pocket.

With care,
Sammy 🤍

It’s the side eye for me 🤣

No seriously, these are the books on my bedside table right now.

My morning routine usually consists of coffee in bed, with this guy, followed by 10 minutes of reading from a book I feel called to (the ones in high rotation on my bedside), and then journaling to reflect and deepen.

Here’s a little recap of each of these books and why I love them right now:

📖 When the Body Says No. This one speaks so deeply to the work I do. It explores the connection between stress, trauma, and physical illness in a way that feels both validating and confronting. A powerful reminder that the body is always communicating and what happens when we don’t listen.

📖 Die With Zero. Such an interesting perspective shift. It challenges the way we think about money, time, and life. It’s less about accumulation and more about actually living. A nudge to ask, am I waiting too long to experience my life?

📖 Ikigai. A purpose filled, grounding read. It brings me back to simplicity and what it truly means to live in alignment with our hearts desire. A great reminder when I need a nudge to come back to what matters.

📖 Inner Excellence. This one has been a surprising favourite. It’s about mindset, presence, and surrendering to our inner excellence through faith (however that looks for you). I've read this before but always keep it close by for the powerful quotes and reminders! It also has so much crossover with emotional regulation and self-trust.

What I love about having a few books on the go is that I can meet myself where I’m at each day.

Some mornings I need depth.
Some mornings I need perspective.
Some mornings I need motivation.

Oh and by the way, this actually flows into a really beautiful journaling technique called inspired reading. It’s where you read a small section from a book and then reflect on any lessons, insights, or feelings that come up in your journal.

It’s such a simple but powerful place to start, especially if you’re new to journaling 🤍

With care,
Sammy ♥️
