About

Human Embraced was born out of the desire to support people to feel seen, heard and accepted - in all their humanness ✨

Hello 👋 I’m Jasmine, the creator of Human Embraced. I support people in reaching their goals, feeling seen, and living in deeper alignment with who they truly are. Connecting with someone’s essence and hope, and supporting this part of them to flourish, is at the heart of my work.

All parts of you are welcome at Human Embraced. I deeply value authenticity and encourage others to be themselves. I love supporting people in finding and/or expressing who they are, breaking through their barriers, implementing strategies, and creating a life that reflects their deepest desires. To me, your life is incredibly important.

About me

While I’m gentle, calming, warm, and supportive, I’m also fierce, outgoing, fun, and energetic. Humor is SO important to me. I love making people laugh and enjoy bringing humor and fun into my work with others. I don’t know where I would be (or really where any of us would be) without a good, deep belly laugh. Working towards what you want can be really hard and serious, but it can also be lighthearted and fun.

My personal experiences helped spark my passion for this work. I have lived experience with trauma (C-PTSD), addiction, anxiety, depression, and eating disorder recovery. I know firsthand how deeply meaningful connection, coaching, and therapy can be in changing lives. I’ve been someone who could barely touch any hope within themselves and a person who held deep hatred for their body and themselves. My own journey has included various healing modalities and strategies for goal achievement, and I’ve dedicated much of my life to learning how to overcome barriers and live a life that is rich, hopeful, and full of pleasure. Today, I am a person who has a deep love for life, the planet and its people—a person who treats themselves and their body with respect, and a person who lives a life they feel so deeply proud of, and grateful for.

I am very passionate about supporting people who want a different experience in life to be who they are and live a life that is truly beautiful to them. My approach draws on all my knowledge and experience in human services, psychology, mentoring, and somatic psychotherapy. I believe strongly in person-centered and inclusive support and have spent many years studying and learning how to support people.

My Qualifications and Experience:

  • Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in Psychology, The University of Queensland

  • Bachelor of Communication, The University of Queensland

  • Three-year Diploma of Integrated Body Psychotherapy, The Institute of Body Psychotherapy (In Progress)

  • Over a decade of experience working with people in Human Services roles (7 of those years in the NDIS)

I enjoy long walks outdoors, listening to indie folk or rap music, boardgames, watching comedy, playing basketball, singing, eating nourishing food, swimming at the beach, traveling, going to the gym, and spending time laughing with my friends and community.

I am a member of the LGBTQI+ community, and as the name "Human Embraced" suggests, I am open to learning about and working with all diversities.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others.”
