About Kylie
Kylie is a transpersonal art therapist, yoga teacher, and ceramist based in the Hawkesbury region. Her work brings together creativity, embodiment, and symbolic practice through clay-based facilitation, yoga and meditation teaching, and an active ceramic studio practice.
Across each area of her work runs a shared thread — the belief that creativity, movement, and mindful engagement can support deeper self-understanding, connection, and personal transformation.
Kylie has facilitated therapeutic and creative experiences for individuals and groups for over a decade, working across community, wellbeing, and mental health settings while continuing to develop her own studio and artistic practice.
Whether holding space in a therapeutic setting, guiding yoga and meditation, or creating sculptural ceramic forms, her approach is grounded in presence, curiosity, and process.
Yoga + Meditation
Kylie offers private and group yoga and meditation sessions throughout the Hawkesbury, travelling to homes, workplaces, and community settings to create supportive and accessible experiences.
Her teaching approach is intuitive, personalised, and grounded in nervous system awareness. Sessions are adapted to meet the needs of the individual or group and may support relaxation, mobility, stress reduction, emotional wellbeing, and a deeper sense of connection to the body.
Drawing from both traditional yoga practices and a therapeutic understanding of embodiment, Kylie creates spaces that encourage slowing down, listening inward, and cultivating greater self-awareness.
Alongside private sessions, she facilitates yoga and meditation experiences for groups, workplaces, and wellbeing programs.
Transpersonal Art Therapy + Clay Facilitation
Kylie’s therapeutic work is informed by transpersonal art therapy — an approach that recognises creativity, symbolism, and imagination as valuable pathways for self-exploration and meaning-making.
Using clay as a central medium, she facilitates both individual and group experiences that prioritise process over artistic outcome. Working with clay offers a tactile, grounding, and often non-verbal way of engaging with emotion, story, identity, and personal insight.
Her facilitation style is gentle, reflective, and adaptable, creating environments where participants can explore freely without pressure or expectation.
Kylie has facilitated clay-based and therapeutic groups across a range of settings including psychiatric hospitals, cancer support programs, aged care, NDIS services, women’s circles, and community wellbeing spaces. These experiences continue to shape her process-led and person-centred approach.
Ceramist + Studio Practice
Alongside her therapeutic and teaching work, Kylie maintains an active ceramic practice rooted in intuition, play, and symbolic expression.
Working primarily by hand and without predetermined sketches or plans, she allows forms to emerge organically through the making process. Meditation, inner imagery, and spontaneous discovery play an important role in how each piece unfolds.
Her ceramic work includes whimsical creatures, totems, whistle vessels, and sculptural forms that often appear to hold their own quiet presence and personality. Balancing playfulness with mystery, these pieces invite curiosity, storytelling, and personal interpretation.
Kylie works across both sculptural and functional ceramics, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that blur the boundaries between object, character, ritual, and art.
