Meet Iva
Hello, I’m Iva Parker-Puie
Through over 30 years working across the corporate, government and private sectors, there were always moments of sharing, healing and learning alongside the responsibilities and challenges of supporting senior leaders in local, state and federal government departments. These years became an important training ground, strengthening my communication, deep listening, relationship and practical life skills.
Since then, we have supported thousands of people through life’s challenges, healing, personal growth and spiritual awakening. As an Integrated Holistic Practitioner, I bring together holistic counselling, meditation, soul mentoring and natural healing practices to support the whole person’s wellness journey. Sometimes talking isn’t what we need. A session may instead include a nurturing blend of Australian flower essences, sound, gentle meditative breathwork and organic essential oils, offering space for deep relaxation, healing and restoration.
Underlying my heart-led services are over 45 years of personal healing, meditation, self-development and spiritual learning embodied in conscious living. Together, these paths have shaped my understanding of myself, the world and the human journey, weaving a lifetime of lived experience into what I offer and love doing.
Private Therapy for Clarity and Moving Forward
Step into our safe, heart-centred space where you are held, heard, seen and supported through whatever you share and shed. There is no judgement, expectation or attachment to what may unpack or unravel during your visit.
I draw on the different modalities that support my work, along my lived experience, to help open new ways of seeing, learning and understanding yourself and the weight you carry. We can talk, share and work through life’s challenges, or simply nurture, revitalise and restore your inner being through gentle self-care, rest and recovery. There is also space to explore a deeper soulful connection with yourself.
Wellness Pathways for Deeper Recovery and Restoration
For those facing deeper or ongoing challenges, our more comprehensive Wellness Pathways provide a structured journey of healing and practical support. Together, we work towards restoring your wellbeing, strengthening your confidence and voice, developing personal self-care and wellness plans, and creating positive, sustainable changes in your everyday life and relationships.
Wrap-around Community Support
Beyond our individual work, our meditation classes, circles, courses, workshops and retreats offer opportunities for you to continue learning, healing and growing alongside others. These shared experiences help you reconnect with yourself, your family and your community, creating an ongoing circle of support around your personal healing journey.
My Philosophy
As a child, I knew I was soul before I knew I was human. Nature was my first teacher, and from those early years I experienced moments of deep stillness, love and connection with all life.
That inner presence has remained with me, a quiet wisdom guiding me through both the beautiful and difficult times.
When I was twelve, I dreamed of a lighthouse standing steady in a storm, shining its light across a dark sea. I knew somehow that it was connected to my purpose.
Today, I understand that the lighthouse doesn’t need to rescue anyone. It simply shines its light, allowing others to find their own way home.
I believe that same light and wisdom lives within each of us. My work has always been about helping people reconnect with that natural presence and live with greater love, awareness and understanding.
Experience and Qualifications
My interest in counselling, meditation, energy healing and natural therapies grew naturally from my own healing journey. Much of what I later studied, I had already begun exploring within myself through meditation, inner reflection and my deep relationship with nature.
These studies gave me practical tools, techniques and a deeper understanding of what I was experiencing and helping me bring that inner learning into the work I share with others.
