About Us

I am a proud Ngarrindjeri Kaurna woman, born and raised in my great great-grandmother's country place, the Greater Adelaide Plains region, which we call the Kaurna Meyunna. I was raised with good values for family and life, my beliefs were woven with cultural connectedness that matters. I have been raised to be respectful to others, as I don't know what has been going on in their life, so was taught to listen, and I'm a good listener!

I've always had a dream of providing a safe place where you can sit down and just speak to someone, and share what's going on, inside of your mind, body and spirit. If you need to talk to someone, I'm a good listener, contact Nattadlu Pty Ltd, we provide Counselling and Cultural Consultancy service, which works with the Stages of Change in your life.

I have gained my experience from my life traumas, I believe I have been guided by my ancestors my great-greats, from whom I have received wisdom, connections, and teachings from many of my old people along the way. I have a lived experienced and understanding of intergenerational traumas, mental health & illness and social-emotional well-being in the community as I am one I am community in myself. Stages of change can impact our individual life as youth, adolescents and elders, it does not discriminate we all go through stages of change.

Doloress K.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.
