About Me
— Jessica Spence, M.Couns., Grad. Dip Psych, Grad Dip Psych (Adv.), Hatha, bellydance, and Trauma Conscious yoga teacher
Welcome! I'm Jess—a specialist trauma therapist, counsellor, bellydancer, and yoga teacher based in the stunning Blue Mountains of Sydney, Australia.
With a deep passion for movement and healing, I focus on creating trauma-conscious, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for both teachers and students. I believe unhealed wounds can impact us emotionally, physically, and psychologically, and my work is designed to help navigate these challenges through movement and awareness.
For movement teachers, I offer tailored content on managing student challenges, fostering diversity, and teaching in a trauma-informed way. For students, my resources explore topics like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and stage fright—offering education, tools, and strategies to overcome them.
You’ll also find information about my own yoga and bellydance classes here, where I bring the same trauma-conscious approach to movement and self-expression.
Whether you prefer live workshops, one-on-one sessions, or on-demand video content, I have options to suit your needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to hear from you!
