Nadia brings warmth, honesty and deep care to her work with children, young people, parents and families. She is especially interested in helping people feel understood, less alone, and more able to make sense of what has been happening beneath the surface.
My most meaningful achievements
At school, a teacher identified that I may not have the ability to finish Year 12. Instead of allowing that to define me, I worked hard, completed Year 12, and went on to university.
Later, after being rejected by a web design college, I found a role where I could learn web design on the job. With the Dreamweaver Bible besides me, I coded websites, built my skills, and eventually opened my own web design and business development business.
These experiences shape how I work with clients who feel underestimated, stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
What makes me unique
My work is grounded in the belief that healing often happens in connection.
I look at what sits beneath the patterns that keep people feeling stuck while also considering family relationships, identity, culture, past experiences and the environments that shape daily life.
Sessions are calm, contained and purposeful. I bring depth and curiosity, alongside practical strategies that can be used in real life.
One quirky fact about me
I live with a family of pranksters, where nothing stays where you left it and no celebration passes without an elaborate practical joke.
From bedazzled work tools to hidden batteries and themed airport pickups, our home runs on humour, mischief and affection.
It keeps life light and reminds me that connection is often built through laughter as much as words.
