About Sunara
My Approach
My work brings together professional training in community wellbeing with years of experience supporting people through life's transitions across disability, aged care, yoga, therapeutic arts, and holistic wellbeing.
I hold a Diploma in Community Welfare & Wellbeing, a Diploma in Science, and Registered Yoga Teacher Training qualifications, with experience facilitating therapeutic arts and wellbeing programs across community and residential care settings. Working closely with people navigating grief, illness, disability, ageing, loss, and significant life change has given me a deep appreciation for both the complexity and resilience of the human experience.
Alongside my professional work, I've spent years exploring a wide range of healing modalities, contemplative practices, and wisdom traditions. From yoga, meditation, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to symbolic and spiritual approaches such as archetypes, ancestral themes, and past-life exploration, these experiences continue to shape the way I hold space for others today.
My approach isn't about choosing between science and spirituality, structure and intuition, or practical tools and deeper exploration. I believe healing is rarely one-dimensional, and neither are we.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, every session is shaped around you. Together, we gently explore the patterns beneath the surface, make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and uncover practical pathways towards greater clarity, self-understanding, and lasting change.
At its heart, this work is about supporting people through life's transitions with compassion, curiosity, warmth, and a touch of humour.
Why I Work
I came into this world to Chinese parents in a predominantly white suburb of Sydney.
From an early age, I found myself living between worlds.
Between cultures.
Between expectations.
Between different versions of who I thought I was supposed to be.
It often felt like I existed in the spaces between the boxes the world offered me.
Over time, I realised we are far more complex than the boxes we're given.
We can hold seemingly contradictory parts of ourselves and still be whole.
And while every person's journey is unique, one thing is universal.
We all move through transitions.
Moments of uncertainty.
Moments of loss.
Moments of heartbreak.
Moments of growth.
Moments that ask us to let go of who we were and step into who we are becoming.
My search for belonging took me across Australia and throughout Asia, where I learned from Indigenous cultures, wisdom traditions, and teachers from many different walks of life.
Each experience offered another piece of the puzzle - not because someone else held the answers, but because they helped me ask better questions of myself.
If there's one thing my journey has taught me, it's that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to healing. Every teacher, tradition, and experience offered another perspective, but none held all the answers. Over time, I learned to trust my own discernment and integrate what genuinely resonated.
That philosophy became the foundation of Sunara.
Sunara was born from the understanding that while every journey is unique, none of us are meant to navigate life's transitions alone.
I wanted to create the kind of space I wish more people had access to during life's most challenging seasons.
A place where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
A place where curiosity is welcomed, insight unfolds, and meaningful change takes root.
Whether you're navigating grief, burnout, a relationship ending, a career change, questions of identity, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, my hope is that you leave with a deeper understanding of who you are, greater confidence in where you're heading, and the knowledge that even life's most difficult transitions can become powerful catalysts for growth.
Because while I can't walk your path for you, I can walk alongside you.
And sometimes, that's exactly what we need to take the next step.
