About Soo

About Soo

~ Custodian, Matriarch & The Big Heart Behind HCFH

Welcome! I’m Soo

I’m deeply rooted in this land, in the presence of the animals who share it, and in the ongoing unfolding of what it means to be alive, embodied, and aware.

For as long as I can remember, nature and animals were where I felt most at home — not just understood, but truly accepted. They gave me a sense of presence and coherence that was missing elsewhere. Like many of us, I also carried years of stress, coping patterns, and tension that did not belong to who I truly am. Over time I have learnt that the body remembers what the mind often forgets.

The world we live in asks a lot of us. It conditions us to be busy, disconnected, and often on alert. What this often obscures is our own capacity for attunement, presence, clarity, and ease of being.

My own journey has been one of rediscovery — first of body-sense, then of presence, and eventually of coherence and alignment with who I truly am. What I’ve learned is that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about allowing what is already whole to come back into awareness.

Over the past decade, I’ve explored somatic awareness, energy healing, nervous system attunement, and nature-based healing. More importantly, I’ve lived this work — listening to bodies, to land, to the herd, and to what wants to emerge in presence.

In a world that has become so disconnected, Highlands Centre For Healing offers a space where you are welcomed, accepted and supported as you are.

How I Work

I don’t lead people through protocols or programs.

I HOLD SPACE.

With curiousity, attunement, regulation and openness.

In this space, what wants to shift naturally begins to move. While the animals, land, and environment can be metaphorical supports, they are also co-participants in the experience.

Some sessions are quiet and still. Some bring insight, sensation, release. All unfold with respect for you – at a  pace  your system can hold, and your lived experience.

When energy shifts in this way, the effects are permanent. You evolve into your next beautiful version.

My role is not to tell you who you are or fix you. It is to offer presence, resonance, and support so that you can remember who you already are.

Remembering

I work with:

  • Somatic Energy Healing with horses & nature — a client-led, 90 minute session for embodied release and coherence

  • Reiki With The Herd — a 60 minute energetic session guided intuitively and by the herd’s presence

  • Individual & Small Group Retreats — immersive, flexible experiences shaped by your pace, needs, and intention [you can even design your own!]

These experiences are not about solving problems.

Not about ‘fixing’ anything. We can’t … you aren’t broken!

They are about aligning presence, releasing interference, and returning to a deeper sense of self.

Nothing needs to be “fixed.”

Just remembered.

Why Horses & Nature

Horses are exquisitely sensitive to energy, intention, and coherence.

They sense our thoughts, words and  feelings.

My herd have been working with people for over a decade, and are ridiculously well tuned in this regard. 

They offer immediate, non-judgemental feedback.

They accept us with unconditional love. 

The land itself carries a strong energy that supports the healing that takes place at Highlands Centre For Healing – the embodiment, stillness, and truth of being.

Combining all this together, we create an environment where clarity and presence can return.

No prior experience with animals or healing work is ever required.

A huge thank you Soo for sharing your beautiful space and horses to help me move forward on my healing journey. You have created an amazing place where I felt safe to share, with people who are all experiencing life as well. Also the food was amazing. Cannot recommend enough.

Participant in E-MOTIONS (Emotion Code), April 2023

I have been working with Soo for the past 2-3 years, and her support has been invaluable. She has helped me through some very low periods, the breakdown of my relationship, and overcome blocks and limiting beliefs I had around starting my business. Soo holds such a safe, and deeply intuitive space, always knowing how to get to the heart of the problem. I leave every session knowing big shifts have taken place so I can move forward with more confidence.
If you’re considering working with Soo, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She has a practical and compassionate approach for those seeking change, and looking for help with healing and growth.

1:1 sessions, August 2024

Soo’s stay was one of the best. I went with a friend for a relaxing getaway and couldn’t have had a better time. Soo was incredibly accommodating – offering to light the fire for us, having a beautiful space ready and accommodating to our schedule with horse therapy reiki session… Would recommend everyone to stay here and will definitely try to come back sometime soon!

You are welcome here — to slow down, to notice, to feel, and to return to yourself.

Whether through sessions, retreats, or workshops, my invitation is simple:

Return to the truth of who you are.

No fixing. Just releasing & remembering.

The Highlands Centre for Healing Experience

In the heart of the NSW countryside, just outside Moss Vale, I’ve carved out a sanctuary. Not just for me and the domesticated and wild beings who’ve found their way here, but for souls like yours seeking refuge, healing, and an authentic reconnection to themselves.

Our herd of therapy horses live in nature. They truly are nature’s therapists. Born Reiki Masters, they offer healing and unconditional love.

Your Experience at our sanctuary is guaranteed to rebalance your inner equilibrium. You won’t want to leave! (and that’s not just what we say, it’s the voice of past guests!)

From holistic approaches and alternative therapies to Reiki healing and somatic therapy, I’ll provide personalised guidance for your entire wellbeing journey.
