Embodied, connected
& whole.
Holistic support for women, mothers, couples and the families they love.
Hi! I am Kelly Wright. As a registered social work therapist specializing in mind/body therapy and parts work, I help women, mothers and couples come back into embodied connection with themselves through a careful blending of therapeutic exploration, nutritional and ancestral wisdom, and the inherent, deep knowing of the self. When you feel whole, those you love flourish too.
True healing asks us to tend to all of our parts - the body that holds our stories, the heart that longs to be seen, and the ancient wisdom that lives within us and around us. This is the foundation of everything I offer.
The practitioner must explore the patients relationship with the world on all levels, from the food they eat, to the people they love, to the way they relate to nature and herbal medicine. - David Hoffman
My Approach
Body & Nourishment
Gut health, nervous system regulation, functional nutrition, Ayurveda. The body as the foundation. Honouring our physical body as a living system to nourish and trust.
Mind, heart and soul
Internal Family Systems (aka parts work), Somatic (mind/body) Therapies, Attachment & Reparenting, Trauma Focused-CBT and Couples Therapy. Tending to the inner experience — the parts of us that hold pain, longing, and a disconnect with our wholeness.
Roots and inherent wisdom
Ancestral knowing, spirituality, the cycles and seasons of nature and self. Ancient rhythms as medicine for modern disconnection, and simplicity as a radical act.
My vision
When my baby was diagnosed with reflux, recurrent respiratory issues, and eczema all before the age of 2 years old, as well as being on the path to a neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosis, I knew there was something I was missing in our otherwise healthy lifestyle. Our healing journey, along with more than 20 years of working with parents, carers and children, was the inspiration for me to develop a holistic health service for all ages, where I could draw on my background in developmental science, individual and family therapy, and functional nutrition to truly support others to heal from the inside out.
I also discovered deeper layers of my own healing which needed my attention as I adjusted to a motherhood experience which looked very different from what I had envisioned. This work took me into deep re-parenting, grief processing, nervous system healing and spiritual growth. I went on a journey of re-connecting to my true self, which I find to be the most powerful journey any of us can take.
I now utilise a targeted combination of biopsychosocial approaches to support other individuals and families in a way which honours the powerful connections between all parts of them, and the world around them. Just as our mind is not separate from our body, we are not separate from the people and dynamics around us. Taking a holistic view of each person I work with allows us to work deeply and authentically towards their healing.
Testimonials
“Kelly started as my husband and I’s couple counsellor. We had never been to a counsellor before, either of us for anything. She made us both very comfortable and both feel heard and understood and helped us by giving us tools to make ourselves better so that we could make our marriage better together.
But we were also going through a lot with our eldest child at the time. On the verge of teendom and suffering from a lot of anxiety from an allergic reaction and all the trauma that goes with it. She helped us navigate parenthood of a highly anxious/OCD child. And help our daughter understand her OCD and anxiety. She helped her with tools on how to live with these things and be ok with them, instead of fighting them. And she went above and beyond to help her at school.
Thank you Kelly for helping us navigate this and help get our girl back from that dark place.”
