Integrative Reflective Practice

This unique reflective practice model was developed to support Hospital Chaplains to further explore their lived experiences through a multi-model integrative lens. Utilising mindful somatic psychology, expressive arts, and values-based reflection to inform the action/contemplation process. This work easily translates into any caregiving role and themes can be developed for your individual team. 

​

Carl Jung postulates that if we don't pause to reflect on our experiences, interactions, and dreams, and our internal and external responses to them, no matter how challenging, we are missing opportunities to enable us to grow as individuals and, thus, live life more fully.

Similarly, any professional caregiving practice not reflected upon is a practice that only partially fulfils its potential. Through intentional and creative reflection on care provision, and the lived somatic experience, our future practice can be more focused, fulfilling, and meaningful for both the cared for and the carer.

Reflective Practice sessions for individuals and groups are available. Natalie typically focuses via a specific lens of care, thus enhancing the mindful connection between the client and the practitioner's lived experience; but can adapt most action/reflection methods for your needs.

Sessions are a minimum of 120mins,

with up to eight participants.
