Hello, I’m Sumi
Well-being practitioner since 2009

I teach Mindfulness and Meditation to help you find balance and calm when life feels overwhelming and stressful. Additionally, I am training to be an ACA-certified Counsellor.

I have long understood the interconnectedness between emotional and psychological processes and the physical body through my own therapeutic journey, and having previously worked as a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist and Clinical Pilates Instructor for over a decade. This led to professional training to understand the mind-body relationship further through a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology), Diploma of Counselling Skills, Meditation Australia accreditation in Mindfulness and Meditation, and current Post Graduate Counselling studies.

I facilitate small group Mindfulness and Meditation classes and private sessions in Central West NSW and online. What I particularly love sharing about Mindfulness and Meditation is how neuroscience and modern, evidence-based psychological research complement these simple practices. This enables my clients to understand how the mind and body respond to life experiences, as well as the thinking and behavioural processes and patterns that subsequently occur. Research has demonstrated that mental exercises, such as Mindfulness and Meditation, can alter these processes. By providing peaceful time for busy minds, my clients can experience the impactful benefits of simple practices and develop ways to make them their own, finding what it means to feel grounded.

I also work in grief and loss support at Red Nose Australia and provide volunteer support at Griefline. Bereavement is an area I resonate closely with, having lost my beautiful mum to cancer far too early in her life. My grief led to the foundation of Wear Your Grief, a social connection initiative aiming to honour grief experiences and encourage meaningful conversations.

My journey as a well-being practitioner was the topic of an interview by ACAP University College that you can read here.

I believe well-being support should be accessible to everyone. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please don’t let this be a barrier to joining my classes. Contact me to discuss options.
