Hi, I am Patrisha Hawkins

My age is 52 and I was born here in Perth, Western Australia.

For the past 25 years I have been working as a therapist and facilitator of body/mind/spirit healing techniques. I started as a Massage therapist, then trained and worked with Reflexology, Metamorphic Technique, Touch for Health, Kinesiology, Jaw Reset, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Shiatsu, Cranio-sacral technique, Trager, Ortho-bionomy and more recently in Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, plus Reiki I and II.

In 1984 I completed a 3 year training in Sydney as an Alexander Technique Teacher and returned to Perth to work for 6 years full-time as a Lecturer in the Alexander Technique at Edith Cowan University in the Academy of Performing Arts. I worked with actors, musical theatre, music and dance students and staff as well as being involved in assisting theatre productions.

After 6 years I left Perth and settled in Margaret River, in the South West of Western Australia, living with my son and working there part-time. I still have a property in Margaret River, where I enjoy holidaying and hope to return eventually to live there again. During my semi-retirement in Margaret River, I re-developed my love for the bush and the ocean, caring for the environment, gardening, enjoying music and Latin dancing. I have fun performing with African drumming and dancing occasionally, mainly in schools.

In 1995 I returned to Perth and commenced training in the Feldenkrais Method and am now a fully certified practitioner of this method. I continue on-going advanced training in this method as well as completing a course in Somatic Psychology. This has enhanced my Counselling skills.

I like to bring together my personal and professional experience into my work with compassion and empathy, assisting my clients to find more healthy and creative ways to think , express and function in their lives.

Why this particular journey? Well, probably because I needed all these methods for my own healing as well to satisfy my curiosity and fascination with the amazing way we, as human beings, interfere with our natural functioning. I am still experiencing healing and transformation in my own life, this assists me to continually evolve as a catalyst and facilitator for other people to discover more choices in their lives as well as uncover more of their unique creative potential and truth.
