No fluff therapy for women done enduring their patterns
Strategic Psychotherapy Clinical Hypnotherapy Mentorship & Support
I help high-functioning women, and women in healthcare and caring professions, to stop performing strength and start living in alignment through solutions focused therapy and mentorship.
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.
Most high performing women and women in healthcare are already exceptional at coping. The real issue is nervous system conditioning, subconscious patterns, blocks and limiting beliefs.
Years of high responsibility and emotional containment train the body to stay in a low-grade survival state. Over time, that survival wiring becomes identity.
Through the alchemy of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy, we work at the level where those patterns live — the subconscious and the nervous system.
This allows us to:
Reduce chronic hyper-vigilance
Interrupt over-functioning patterns
Decouple self-worth from usefulness
Rebuild identity without performance as the anchor
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.
I address your internal limitations and behavioural patterns that ultimately hold you back from living a life for you. 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.
