MARY BONETT
Hello...
I'm Mary, a Somatic therapist and retreat facilitator.
I am passionate about providing safe and supportive guidance to people on their wellbeing journey.
​
​Fascinated by us, our relationships with ourselves, each other and our planet, I believe we have an innate capacity to heal ourselves given the right tools and environment.
The catalyst for my work, has been a lifetime of lived-experience, which I continue to learn from. I look forward to a future where people from all backgrounds can benefit from genuinely holistic healing and health practices, and where indigenous teachers are appropriately recognised and acknowledged for their profound wisdom and contribution to healing and wellness spaces.
​
I’ve over a decade’s worth of professional experience facilitating retreats, workshops and delivering training and working 1:1 with people in recovery from addiction, domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with mental health challenges.
My aim is to create a safe and inclusive environment of non-judgement and hold space for self-enquiry in all aspects of my work.
How I can support you:
-
Nervous System Regulation
-
Trauma Recovery
-
Addiction Recovery
-
Mental Health Challenges
​My invitation to you is to give time and space to explore personal healing, growth and evolution.
My Story
After a childhood of escaping into the fantasy of dress up and costume, I studied fashion design and went on to work in the industry for 8 years. However as my awareness around the environmental impact of the fashion industry grew, I could no longer square my love for this planet we call home and the negative footprint the industry I was working in was making. That, coincided with a desire to understand my upbringing and family dynamics then led me on a path of working in womens aid - supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence, followed by supporting people in addiction recovery, mental health support and most recently trauma recovery. I believe our greatest challenges can also lead to our greatest potential.
