Dianna is a somatically trained Eco Psychologist with over 30 years experience in the field of mental health. She is the owner of Inscape Psychology on the Mornington Peninsula.
Dianna supports women in awakening to the wisdom of their bodies. Patriarchy has long maintained its control by deliberately severing women from their instinctual power—teaching them to distrust their intuition, suppress their inner knowing, and seek authority outside themselves. Through the felt sense, Dianna helps women reclaim the truth of who they are and restore their innate connection to the earth.
Dear Beautiful Women,
Can you feel a yearning, a longing for something you cannot name? A calling from the depths? It is time to listen. As Modernity spins out of control we need to wake up. Wake up to truth in our bodies, our instinctual knowing.
So much of who we understand ourselves to be is through the conceptual mind. And yet, this story of self is no more than deeply held programming that lives in our tissue, blood and bones. Our personal trauma experiences but also those of our ancestors. We come into this life carrying so much from those that have gone before.
In a women’s lineage, this includes the systematic cutting off from our instinctual power and the knowing of our rightful place in the order of life as co-creatrix with the Great Mother. How have we forgotten the power of our womb? Where truth lives as clear as the light of day.
We cannot come back home without unravelling the body. Lies are held in our entire being. Head, heart and belly. Embedded programming to keep us contained that shows up as fear. Fear when we say no, when we do not caretake, when we dare to listen to the truth inside that cuts against everything the “rational” mind may be screaming at us. Fear can manifest as guilt, shame, self-doubt and disconnects us from our instinctual knowing.
The invitation is to burn. Burn the lies and what no longer serves us. It takes enormous courage to follow this path. But we do not walk it alone. We have Mother Earth. We have our ancestors who long for us to heal. We have our dreams that reveal deeper truths. And we have all the unseen beings of this world, allies waiting to help. For when we have fully burnt then we can breathe fire.
I am not interested in supporting you to sort through your personal dramas. This is not the work. Although what shows up in our external life can help point us towards what wants to be reclaimed.
Please listen. If you feel a deep resonance with what I have shared and long to burn, reach out and let us have a conversation about whether this work is right for you. Sometimes other forms of therapy and bodywork maybe more useful and needed.
With much love, Dianna
