Lynne Hogan - Holistic Counsellor - Supporting Adults, Children and Families; Reiki and Crystal Healing. Hi I'm Lynne and I'm delighted to be one of the Holistic Counsellors at KIVA Wellbeing Centre. Often the reason people are drawn to Holistic Counselling is connected with grief and loss. In our journeying through life, our hearts can be touched by loss of relationships through death and divorce; many people experience the financial loss of a business or home; some the emotional separation from their country of birth; others the grief connected with the loss of health; with lots of people losing their way and being overcome by depression or anxiety.
The counselling room at KIVA is a wonderful place to be validated and listened to, a place where healing can begin. It has been my privilege over the past 30 years to form deep relationships with children and to watch each unique journey unfold.This has given me the experience needed to connect with both younger children and adolescence in helping them to develop resilience and self esteem. I support both the children and their families by using processes such as guided meditation, art and sand play, teaching them the skills necessary to lead a fulfilling life. I offer a warm heart and loving space.
Dianne Burton - Spiritual Development and readings. I bring to KIVA many of my skills and talents that I have developed over time. Experiencing a deep connection with Spirit from an early age, I have questioned and explored many expressions of Spirit form throughout my life. My thirst for knowledge has possibly left me with more questions than answers. as a result of my quest, my natrual talents have expanded, and along the way I have successfully completed studies to qualify me in many areas such as Nursing, teaching, Civil Ceremonies, Reiki Master, Tein Tei Master and Master Degree in Art Therapy.

I have also trained at the Australian School of Traditional Thai Massage in traditional Thai Massage, the Eastern and Western Traditions of Cupping, Moxibustion and Gua Sha.

Anne Wicking, DCHt, MIACT Clinical Hypnotherapist
For the past 20 years I have been studying our human condition. What I realised is just how powerful each of us are in being able to help ourselves. Hypnotherapy provides a gateway to our ability to heal and move on old patterns and behaviours that no longer serve us.
For the past 10 years I have worked in bereavement and grief and supported people with a range of conditions including anxiety, stress, sleep problems, weight management, self esteem, confidence and smoking. I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Practitioner, and have a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy .
