It’s registration renewal time again, and I’m plea

It’s registration renewal time again, and I’m pleased to share that I’ve successfully renewed my professional registrations as a:

🌿 Registered Clinical Counsellor with PACFA

🧘 Registered Teacher with Yoga Australia

On the surface, it might seem like a simple annual renewal.

In reality, it represents a year of learning, supervision, reflection and practice. Every year I need to demonstrate that I’m maintaining the knowledge, skills and ethical standards that these professions require.

As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor, I’m part of Australia’s Allied Health Workforce. To maintain my registration each year I must:

• Complete at least 10 hours of professional development (although I somehow managed 30 hours this year! 😅)
• Participate in a minimum of 10 hours of professional supervision (self-funded) again I received extra hours 😅
• Complete at least 150 hours of client work to maintain my currency of practice - I’m well over the minimum 😊
• Hold a current National Police Check

As a registered Yoga Australia teacher, I also commit to ongoing professional development, maintain a current First Aid certificate, practise within the Yoga Australia Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics, dedicated to the values and principles of the association, and continue developing my skills so I can offer safe, inclusive and thoughtful classes and individual sessions.

I also teach emerging yoga teachers the Trauma Sensitive Yoga principles and practices.

These registrations aren’t just letters after my name.

They’re a commitment to the people who trust me with their stories, their wellbeing and their growth.

Whether someone comes to me at Tranquillo Place (or online) for counselling, yoga, or reflection and support to reconnect with themselves, they deserve someone who is continually learning, reflecting and striving to offer the very best care I can.

It’s a privilege to do this work. Thank you to everyone who has trusted me to walk alongside them this past year. ✨🤍

Reminder: visit your friends, take a detour, who comes to mind?

✨Some friendships don’t need constant tending.

🍃Years pass between visits, messages are sparse, and life can take us in different directions. Yet when we’re together again, it’s as if a thread has quietly held us close all along.

🌈A small detour to Rainbow on our journey from Adelaide to Melbourne reminds us of what’s important.

One long evening of connection, laughter, shared memories and honest conversations.

Stories of children and grandchildren, recent challenges and the joys, health scares and hopes for the future.

Moments when we were talking over each other, laughter and more stories creating that familiar feeling of not wanting the evening to end.

These are the friendships that remind us what really matters.

✨planning a road trip with a little detour soon? We are 🙏

The first environmental grief group was held at th

The first environmental grief group was held at the Hills Environment Centre last week.

It was an honour to sit with people who feel so deeply about how the world is changing.

The group gave space to express or at least name the range of emotions experienced.

Many of us shared similar feelings ranging from sadness and anger, to distress and hopelessness. We also shared positive feelings of feeling connection to places, communities and often a great sense hopefulness.

🌿It was a rich experience.
🌿I hope to deepen my skills.
🌿I’m learning too from people that came along.

We gathered to talk about something we rarely make space for 🌿🍃 our emotional responses to environmental change.

There were stories of love for places, concern for species, moments of sadness, anger towards systems and beautiful moments of connection.

There was no pressure to solve anything.

Just an opportunity to sit together, listen deeply, and acknowledge what many of us carry quietly.

🤍 We start to heal the moment we feel heard.

It can be very relieving to sit with like minded people - to remember, you are not alone in all of this.

Environmental grief is not a problem to be fixed.

We are sharing a natural response to caring deeply about the world around us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed their honesty, courage and presence.

There is another session in a few weeks and also online.

✨Join us ✨

Many people are carrying feelings that don’t alway

Many people are carrying feelings that don’t always have a name.

Eco-grief. Climate anxiety. Solastalgia: the distress of witnessing the places we love change before our eyes, while still calling them home.

Some of us, (at times) feel overwhelmed, numb, frightened, restless or quietly heartbroken. Others experience anticipatory grief — grieving futures, species, seasons, landscapes and ways of life that feel uncertain or already slipping away.

These responses are the natural deeply human response to living in changing times.

The upcoming Environmental Grief Support Group offers a gentle, facilitated space to pause, reflect and connect with others who may be carrying similar feelings.

I’m honoured to host these groups. Together we will explore conversation, reflection, grounding practices and collective care — without pressure to have answers or to “stay positive.”

As Glenn Albrecht writes, solastalgia is “the homesickness you have when you are still at home.”

🌿 Hosted by @hillsenvironmentcentre
🌿 Small group conversations
🌿 Grounding and reflective practices
🌿 A space for honesty, compassion and connection
🌿 Experienced facilitation
🌿 You will come away feeling better

Sometimes healing begins simply by being able to say:
“This is affecting me too.”

I acknowledge that whilst activism and participation in local projects is important, this group session will be a space to explore and acknowledge the emotional load that we are carrying.

Send me a message if you have any questions. Go to @hillsenvironmentcentre for booking link. In person and online sessions available.

The longest tomato season has now ended with a mix

The longest tomato season has now ended with a mixed crop and lots of red chilli’s perfect for a batch of spicy tomato kasundi.

As we head into our 3rd Adelaide Hills winter I am feeling more prepared for the long months of damp, cooler days, open fires, hot soups - we now have the underfloor heating in the bathroom, the outdoor bath under the stars, solar panels to cover the day time AC, more woolly clothing, boots and beanies 😅

The change of seasons here is quite dramatic, warm and sunny last week, now cold and damp - until probably November!

I love it! It’s true. I have forged a deep bond with this valley, the landscape, the produce, and the people.

Soon I’ll be thinking about pruning the roses and fruit tree, planting more flowers (bulbs), a range of berries and collecting more firewood. 🪵

Stay tuned! 🤍🤍🤍

🌿Gentle Yoga session this morning was in a sublime room at @adelaidecc. A gorgeous vista across the Torrens River, with a golden sunrise sharing soothing yoga with this group of delegates from #NC2026.

🤍Relaxation, resting, stretching and moving in rhythm with your own breath. We created space for restoring some calm in our bodies before a big day of conferencing at the SMSF Association national conference.

(I might have spent the rest of the morning walking riverside and sunning by the pool 😉)

🌀With rates of burn out and psychological injury on the rise, it was my pleasure to offer these nervous systems an opportunity to find steadiness and relaxation whilst moving through a nourishing gentle soothing yoga practice.

🙏Yoga means to yoke. In our yoga practice we draw together the mind (slow down brain chatter) the body (feeling muscles, stretching and deeply relaxing) the rhythmic breath and the spirit/energy.

Afterwards we often feel more settled and for many of us our thinking brain has more clarity.

If you want to hear how I teach grounding, relaxation and yoga you are welcome to download my app. Link in the bio. Absolutely free, a little gift for anyone who want to try.

@everydayspirit1

“Have you ever met someone who pauses as they listen, taking an extra moment before responding?

I love that. 💙

I think of that little pause as the “art of calm.”

There is a small window of choice between taking in information, and responding to it.

It’s a space where we listen to the heart - and it knows.

By taking a little more time before responding to people in person or on social media, we give the heart and mind more space to avoid reaction - and to organize a useful action - keeping us in alignment with the source of all peace.

Peace and calm don’t just happen.

We practice them.

And when we practice peace and calm, we BECOME more peaceful and calm.

And that’s some mighty good medicine for all of us right now. 💙

Hope you are okay today. I’m sending you peaceful love. xo Mary 💙

From Mary’s heart and Every Day Spirit. Thank you so much 🌸🌸
