About Me

I am Rachel. I am the director and lead clinician at NAYA DAWN in Geelong. I am a Mental Health Social Worker, EMDR Therapist, Theraplay Practitioner, and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher with a Bachelor of Social Work from Deakin University. 


I have over 6 years experience in the industry in family support, group program delivery, out of home care, clinical services, and disability support.

In addition to my four-year degree I have undertaken extensive training and professional development. I now have specialised skills in understanding trauma, dissociation, and mental health difficulties using a range of evidence-based and focused psychological strategies.
