WELCOME
My name’s Elijah, and I’m here to support people through real transformation—body, mind, and soul.
I’ve spent the last decade walking alongside others in their healing journeys while deepening my own. My background spans mental health, youth work, bodywork, men’s work, coaching, and community facilitation. I’ve worked in frontline support roles, group homes, schools, outdoor programs, massage clinics, and healing spaces—learning how change really happens: through presence, safety, and listening to what’s underneath.
I’m the youngest of seven kids, raised in a big, loving, and chaotic family where I learned early how to navigate complex dynamics and hold space for emotion. Becoming a father myself cracked me open in new ways. It brought depth, grounding, and responsibility to all that I do—and gave me even more reverence for the nervous system, relationships, and the power of showing up fully.
I’ve trained in Zenthai Shiatsu, somatic bodywork, Inside-Out Coaching (Primal Intelligence), and I draw from frameworks like TCM 5 Element theory, polyvagal-informed process work, Jungian and integral psychology, and men’s work traditions. My work integrates the body, psyche, and inner spirit—meeting each client where they are, whether they come for physical pain, emotional overwhelm, soul searching, or support through transition.
This work is personal. I’ve walked through grief, burnout, trauma, identity loss, spiritual emergence, and the humbling experience of real healing. I know how hard it can be to face yourself honestly and to keep showing up for life. And I know how beautiful it is to find your strength again—not through force, but through connection, clarity, and embodiment.
I currently live in Bellingen with my partner, our son, and our dog. I offer bodywork sessions (in my home studio, markets, and home visits), 1:1 coaching online, and facilitate small group spaces that bring people back into connection with their body, truth, and soul purpose.
This work is about remembering who we really are. I’m here to help you come home to yourself—and move from there.
I’ve been initiated into the Bwiti sect Mabanji, a living feminine lineage from Gabon that works with the plant teacher Iboga as a sacrament of transition and embodiment. This plant informs a lot of my work as a strong ally. My path in ethnobotany has taken me to Indigenous communities around the world, learning how they use plant spirits, music, and trance states as guides for healing and integration.
In the jungles of Gabon I rooted in deeply with the guidance of a Pygmean lineage of Iboga. In the Andean highlands I met San Pedro and Peru’s jungle medicine Mama Ayahuasca and Kambocito. In the Himalayas I encountered the wild spirit of Cannabis. In the Sierra Mazateca I learned from the El Niño mushrooms, Salvia Divinorum, Peyotl, and the spirit of Mezcal. In the Swiss Alps I met with Artemisia and Absinthium. And in the vast Australian bush I’ve journeyed with the wisdom of the Acacias.
These are not simply plants — they are intelligent, relational beings. Much of what they offer can’t be written, and the deepest teachings are often meant to be kept quietly within. But from this depth my work is informed— to help rehabilitate our culture’s relationship with medicine, with the land, and with ourselves. To remember the sacred kinship between the human and the more-than-human world.
I live and work on Gumbaynggirr Country (Bellingen, Mid North Coast NSW) and online. My offerings are anchored in my formal training in Western Herbal Medicine and ZenThai Shiatsu, supported by a dispensary of rare and sacred plants.
I acknowledge and pay my deep respects to the First Nations Peoples, Elders past and present, and the Country upon which I live and work. It is on this ancient land, home to many Nations, that we gather to learn, heal, and grow.
