BACHELOR OF ARTS IN CREATIVE ARTS

(Creative Writing & Theatre)

I have the great fortune to live, love, dance and work on the unceded lands of merlukerdee country (Huon Valley, lutruwita/Tasmania). I have called this place home since 2014 and have a deep love and respect for the land and am grateful for an ever-growing connection to the local community.

I share a loving home and a glorious native garden with my extended family, our dear old dog, new puppy, bees, birds and critters aplenty.

I became a Remedial Massage Therapist in 2002 and found this work to be a beautiful companion to my creative life (I have a performing arts background). I still write poetry and love to dance, and facilitate a couple of regular groups in Cygnet to share my love of the arts, which I personally have found to be transformative and life enriching. Email me to enquire about Soma Sessions, Sacred Dance or the Cygnet Poets Group: flichopkins@gmail.com

In 2010 I discovered Hawaiian Bodywork and trained in both Heartworks Lomi Lomi (Advanced) and KaHuna Massage (Level 3). The heart-centred flow of this beautiful lineage continues to inform my practice (including my Remedial massage), and the integrated body/mind/spirit model underpins my work.

I became a mama in 2016. The thresholds of pregnancy, birth and parenting continue to be my greatest teachers. After taking extended time to be with my babies, I returned to bodywork in 2023. Since then, I have upskilled to specialise in modalities that are aligned with (and informed by) my life experience. These offerings embody my mission to support my clients in connecting with their own innate wisdom and arrive at holistic wellness.

I am friend and ally to the lgbtqia+ community and warmly welcome all expressions of human to my table.

I am truly honoured to work in this realm. I am guided by my soul, by Spirit, by my ancestors and by the Earth, Sky, Waters, Trees and the Natural World at large. I take great pride in offering a place of trusted nurturance, deep listening and calm, so that folks can find their way back to their inner wisdom and intuitive knowing, and thus discover their own limitless medicine within.

Thanks for reading.

I look forward to working with you.
