Women’s Wellbeing Collective
Engaging women on a heart level. Holding space for their stories. Guiding them in therapeutic practices.
Supporting women in their journey of emotional and spiritual growth, with the awareness that genuine connection and healing occur when we allow ourselves to be seen, heard and held in safe spaces.As a heart centred healer I mentor individuals and small groups utilising an intuitive and embodied approach that encompasses body, soul and spirit wellness.
If you are seeking a safe place to cultivate authentic connections, grow and heal then I invite you to engage in the Women’s Circles, Support Groups, Book Circles, Retreats and 1-1 Mentoring.
"The impact of Candice’s gatherings and her loving nature has had an undeniable impact on my life and bought about miracles of inner healing and transformation. I am happier, I feel more connected to myself and I once again have hope about my future. I have often shed tears in our gatherings, tears of release and healing as I came to understand myself better. Through Candice’s guidance, I have been able to find the answers to many questions I have had related to past trauma . Her gentle care helped me to understand myself and find answers within myself. Thank you Candice for all the love you give.” Women’s Circles & Book Circle, 2022-2024, Fi.
About
Soul Healer
Educator | Creative
I value authenticity and lead with vulnerability, knowing that my story holds keys of healing for others. My call as a healer has been life long and has evolved in depth and breadth as I have navigated the challenges of my own healing journey and recovery from; complex trauma, chronic illness, burnout, and spiritual abuse. I have created the community I wish I’d had available to me in the dark nights of my soul, a space of connection, nurturing, compassion and healing.I practise from a trauma informed lens using the creative arts, narrative therapy and somatic practices as gateways to healing. I have qualifications in counselling, ministry and education and engage in ongoing personal growth and learning. I have worked in the education and community sectors for over 20 years in numerous roles as a teacher, counsellor, project manager, Mentor, NGO Director and community worker.I am deeply spiritual and believe that divine union is our highest state of being. Jesus Christ is my gateway to encountering the divine realms of mystery.
To understand more about my life journey and the reason why I created this community, listen to the below interview.
“In Candy’s company I feel safe and heard, therefore it helps me to be authentic and my true self. She holds the space beautifully. She is calm, welcoming, kind. I feel she was born to host her beautiful events!!I will definitely be going back.”

What she carries is authentic, a deep well of understanding, knowledge and experience, with access to wisdom beyond herself, which she readily shares in humility and love and a long-held heartfelt desire to see others walk in freedom body, soul and spirit. Grateful to have experienced this as a contributor to my own healing!” Women’s Circle, 2022, Joanna
"My experience at the evening Women’s Circle was great! I enjoyed the activities and the connection with other people. The session allowed me to stop and listen to my inner wisdom and reminded me that I am my biggest support and I have all the answers I need within. It restored my sense of hope. Candy is a wonderful facilitator and holds space beautifully so you can really feel seen and heard. Thank you!”Women’s Circle, 2024, Tania.
Book Circles
A series of weekly gatherings for creatives and sensitives, healers, and deep thinkers, lovers of good discussion and those seeking authentic connection. Created for women seeking to engage in weekly personal reflection and vulnerable discussions. These gatherings are small and intimate, filled with authentic conversation, coffee, laughter, and at times tears, as together we integrate and embody what we read and view. Groups are closed and require a 8 week commitment.
New Group Commencing Term 3, July 2025
“The weekly book circle with Candy has been transformational for me. It has been the most impactful experience for my personal development, self-growth and transformation. I have learnt and grown more than I thought possible within 10 weeks. I have challenged myself and have been able to implement changes to my life to become more comfortable with my emotions, my body, my workplace, my relationship and my role and expectations within society as a whole. Things I have been trying for years but was never successful in doing because I was lacking the support from others and the space to explore myself.The most important thing I have gained from this experience is connecting with beautiful, kind-hearted souls and forming deep and vulnerable friendships with them. Candy has an awe-inspiring skillset and the most amazing capacity to hold space and ensure you are seen, heard and validated. I highly recommend Candy's Book Circles.” Book Circle, 2023, Katie

“Candy offered a space to unravel and process my trauma. I am so grateful for my decision to attend her Women's Circle. I met a group of beautiful souls and together we worked and talked about things both subconscious and conscious, delving into the depths of our soul in a comforting way. Each of us shared the pain of the other, felt together, and found unity. This circle gave me the strength to cope, showed me the inner strength I possess, and proved that I am never dealing with my troubles alone. Thank you Candy, for a wonderful experience. You're doing sacred work.” Women’s Circle, 2023, Maya.
“I loved the way Candy was so welcoming, I liked connecting with others and having the opportunity to do some deep soul work in a safe and supportive space.

Seeing how Candy did this so gracefully was a huge learning moment for me.”

“The sunset Women’s Circle was a nurturing and inspiring experience that has given me a lot of food for thought. Candy was a thoughtful and organised host, whose attention to the little caring details spoke to her authentic, compassionate devotion to creating safe spaces for women to share and grow together in safety.” Women’s Circle, 2023, Lauren.
“Candy was very attentive and researched multiple books for us to choose from, which I thought was really nice and thoughtful. I really enjoyed our weekly meeting where we connected and to shared about each chapter. Candy always came up with great questions and the sharing space always felt good and safe. I feel I have grown a lot since attending, not only from what I learnt in reading the book, but also from the sharing of ideas. Sometimes it is easier to share personal stuff with strangers. I highly recommend this Book Circle, the best one by far.” Book Circle Term 3 & 4, 2022, Emilie
“A beautiful experience. It was obvious that Candy had prepared thoughtfully for us to be there- everything from the print outs and thoughtful music and lovely essential oil sprays. It all felt special and a lovely space for self care and reflection. Nice to be pampered, from the inside out. Candy was gentle in her approach to sharing and reflection. Very helpful to process life and my thoughts.” Women’s Circle, 2022, Bel

“Attending Women’s Circle was a wonderful experience. I got to know about my body a lot more and deeper, and I felt re-connected in a special way. I am very grateful that I have attended this event!
