hello.

Hello, I’m Renata.

I’m a psychotherapist, teacher and mentor. My work is devoted to supporting people to awaken to their true nature and live from a place of wholeness and freedom.

I am passionate about self-inquiry as a gateway to wholeness — a way of coming into direct contact with life as it unfolds, moment to moment. I believe that what we seek in life already lives within us. Yet through trauma, conditioning, or nervous system dysregulation, we often become disconnected from our bodies and from the deeper intelligence that guides us.

Offerings

Somatic Therapy

A space for self-inquiry, healing, and reconnection.
This work is grounded in a body-centred, trauma-informed approach, supporting regulation, insight, and the integration of lived experience through direct contact with the body. Together, we create the conditions for your body and inner wisdom to reveal what is ready to be seen, integrated, or understood. I trust the body’s organic intelligence — when given safety, it naturally brings forward what needs attention.

Holistic Health & Movement

A space to reconnect with your body and inner vitality.
This work approaches health and wellbeing as an integrated journey — weaving strength, mobility, flexibility, and nutrition in a way that supports the body as a foundation for overall health, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of feeling at home in yourself. It invites a more sustainable and attuned relationship with your body, supporting its natural capacity to adapt, regulate, and function with greater ease.

Meditation & Embodied Dharma

A path of awakening through direct experience.
Alongside individual work, I offer spaces dedicated to the deepening of meditation and insight practice. These include retreats, courses, and ongoing practice containers grounded in the Buddha’s teachings. This work supports a natural unfolding of clarity and wisdom through intimate contact with present-moment experience.

Embodied Awakening - 6-day Meditation Retreat, NSW

Fri 25 Sep - Thu 1 Oct 2026, Wilton, NSW
Awakening isn’t happening anywhere else but here and now in this breathing, sensing, feeling, thinking body. And awakening isn’t an attainment, although we strive for it. There is actually nothing to gain, nothing to lose, but there is a shift in perception.

“ Renata is an absolutely incredible therapist. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She has the gift to make you feel so welcome, seen and heard the moment you meet her. She creates an incredibly safe space for you to drop in, go deep, and fully surrender to the process. I have had incredible insights and experienced a deep transformation during our sessions. “
Sophie S.
“I'm so grateful for the guidance Renata has given me. For a long time I was looking for someone to help me move beyond the state of anxiety and shutdown that I was in. It wasn't until I worked with Renata guiding me, that I was able to tap into what was driving my nervous system dysregulation and constant reactiveness. I feel so much more grounded and peaceful since the somatic healing with Renata. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with emotional overwhelm or who wants to grow and heal.”
Schecani
“I felt so grateful for the TRE practice yesterday. I feel I take something new and fresh away into my sitting practice from it.
Renata is a very good teacher, enriched I feel, by her commitment to her own personal work.“
Kate I.
“TRE was such a unique experience from which I am sure I will continue to benefit as I practice regularly. I certainly feel the best I have for quite a while and am so grateful for the way Renata led this simple but profound technique.”
Maryanne
“Renata is a gifted teacher with a rare ability to truly tune in to each individual. She honours people’s unique responses while offering what feels genuinely supportive and appropriate for them.
Her depth of study in the Dharma is evident, and it’s a joy to receive teachings that are both grounded and deeply informed. I love the spaciousness and authenticity she brings, as well as the way she weaves in an understanding of trauma and the unconscious when working with deep emotional material.
I especially appreciated the class on the Inner Critic. Above all, Renata truly lives what she teaches—and that is something very special to experience.”
Deborah B.
“I felt that I covered more in five sessions with Renata than I had with any other psychologist or CBT specialist or NLP practitioner in the past.”
