Strategic Psychotherapy Clinical Hypnotherapy Professional Mentorship & Maternity Support
Systems conscious therapy is an integrative approach that explores how an individual’s patterns, behaviours, and emotional responses are shaped by the systems they exist within — including relationships, work environments, culture, and early conditioning. It brings awareness to how these systems are internalised and repeated in daily life, often outside of conscious awareness.
The work focuses on identifying and interrupting unhelpful cycles between internal experience and external environments, supporting greater choice, regulation, and alignment in behaviour.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, it works with the whole system of a person’s lived experience to create sustainable, relational, and behavioural change.
Mellisonant is a rare adjective meaning: sweet-sounding; melodious; having a smooth, harmonious sound.
It comes from Latin roots mellis (honey) and sonare (to sound), literally meaning “honey-sounding.”
Hi, I’m Amy!
I’m a Registered Midwife, Clinical Hypnotherapist & Strategic Psychotherapy Practitioner based in Australia.
You don’t need more coping skills and you don’t need to perpetuate the narrative without solutions.
Amy comes with over two decades of experience across maternity care in Australia and New Zealand, including hospital, community, rural caseload, private practice, lactation consultancy, and tertiary services.
Her work is grounded in a deep understanding of the maternity continuum and the psychological, emotional, and physiological shifts that occur from conception through to the postnatal period.
Through Mellisonant Studio, she offers structured, integrative support that bridges clinical expertise with psychological understanding, helping individuals move beyond insight into clear, sustainable behavioural change.
Her approach simplifies complex emotional and behavioural patterns into practical frameworks, supporting clients to shift patterns of overfunctioning, identity strain, and emotional overload with clarity, structure, and intention.
This is structured, clinically grounded work. And it creates lasting change.
I also offer self-led digital courses (available to anyone worldwide) for instant download. See our freebie Digital Course offer. Event offerings will be available in the near future.
Together we identify and address the internal limitations and behavioural patterns that are ultimately preventing you from living the life you desire.
Special note: Amy primarily works via Telehealth but plans to offer in-person sessions for MELLISONANT MUSE from mid-2026. Midwife Muse offers a face-to-face option in Melbourne's Inner North. Please see further details when booking.

Hello, I’m Amy
I spent over two decades working as a Midwife and Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) whilst juggling the demands of life.
I was trained to stay calm in chaos.
To override and normalise exhaustion.
To anticipate the needs of others.
To be steady, no matter what.
Healthcare teaches Women to endure. It rewards over-functioning. It quietly equates worth with usefulness. I admit there were times where I felt completely lost, I didn’t know myself anymore and life became robotic. I felt like just another ‘cog in the wheel’.
I know this professionally. And I know it personally.
I experienced burnout — not as a dramatic collapse, but as a slow erosion of self.
A constant hum of responsibility. A nervous system that didn’t know how to power down.
When life transitions arrived, they didn’t just change my circumstances. They challenged who I was beyond the role.
Amy is registered with:
International Strategic Psychotherapy Association (ISPA).
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Qualifications:
National Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Strategic Psychotherapy. Institute of Applied Psychology, Sydney.
Applied Somatics for Practitioners. Collective Being, Naarm Melbourne.
Registered Midwife (Direct entry). Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand.
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, IBCLE. Currently non-practicing.
Learn more about my journey on
This work is for individuals who are motivated to create meaningful and sustained change in their lives.
It is not for those seeking endless insight, but for those ready to develop practical skills and integrate them into daily behaviour.
My clients are typically socially conscious women who value self-awareness, responsibility, and intentional growth.
They are able and willing to be accountable for the changes they are working toward, and open to engaging deeply with the process required to achieve them.
Through the alchemy of Strategic Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Mentorship & Support, I help women unlearn performance-based worth and recalibrate patterns, behaviours and blocks at the subconscious level.
