Servicing area
MelbourneFocus areas
Estelle’s initial training was in dual diagnosis inpatient treatment (substance use & complex trauma) and is currently training in Structural, Systemic & Family Constellations work, supporting the healing of the inter-generational transmission of trauma through the ancestral lineage.
For many years, Estelle has worked in private practice, and alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, travelling this wonderful country from South Australia, to the Gulf of Carpentaria, and throughout Victoria.
Estelle is inspired by ancient wisdoms and modern scientific exploration. She is a keen fermenter and brewer, loves animals and enjoys studying our embodied spiritual connection to nature through sacred geometry, the Sun, camping, weaving, art, music, singing (in the shower) and dancing (not so much in the shower)
BELOW IS FROM SOMATIC EXPERIENCING INTERNATIONAL
Somatic Experiencing (SE™) aims to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies and nervous systems. Trauma, from an SE lens, is focused on how it shows up in the nervous system and how that dysregulation impacts life. When we are stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze, SE helps us release, recover, and become more resilient. It is a body-oriented therapeutic model applied in multiple professions and professional settings—psychotherapy, medicine, coaching, teaching, and physical therapy—for healing trauma and other stress disorders from a nervous system lens within a practitioner’s scope of practice. It is based on a multidisciplinary intersection of physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics and has been clinically applied for more than four decades. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine.
The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming patterns that get stuck and impact people’s daily life. It can be used to support the resolution of PTSD and developmental attachment trauma. It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. SE provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others. These SE skills support healing professionals holistically apply their work in supporting individuals and groups.
