As a trauma-informed Somatic Sexologist, Bonnie recognises that sexual shame, stress, and trauma can be stored in the body; keeping us "stuck" in old patterns, even when our mind is determined to move on. For this reason, she takes a holistic approach to working with the mind and body together, as one complete system. By combining counselling with breathwork, Bonnie offers the benefits of traditional "talk therapy," with the added benefits of somatic experiencing. This unique approach works with the mind and body to support you in developing a deeper sense of presence and pleasure in your body and relationships.

Having worked in the exciting field of sexuality for 12 years, Bonnie believes sexual energy is innocent. Her interest in sexology sparked in the adult industry, where she flourished as a multi-award winning and internationally acclaimed sex worker. During this decade, she learnt about the complexity and beauty of human sexuality in ways that textbooks cannot teach. Now, Bonnie holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Master of Sexology (Professional). She is currently enrolled in a Master of Professional Psychology, and will be graduating in 2025. Bonnie has also completed 420 hours of in-person Breathwork Practitioner Training to the highest standard approved by the Australian Breathwork Association.

Despite her clinical training, Bonnie is anything but clinical! Her heart-centred and holistic approach combines science with spirituality; referring to the latest research, while also acknowledging that humans are complex energetic beings. She is particularly passionate about drawing on her lived experiences to connect with her clients from a place of true understanding and deep compassion. She believes healing is always possible, for everyone, and that we have the power to create change in our lives at any given moment.
