the landing space
Reflect, Restore, Connect
Hey there colleagues and friends,
As a Dietitian or healthcare professional, you show up every day with care and commitment, holding space for others through their challenges. You navigate complex emotions, ethical dilemmas, and the weight of responsibility—often without enough time or space to process it all yourself.
You know well the importance of self-care, reflection, and boundaries, yet finding the time and support to tend to your own wellbeing can feel impossible. The truth is, sustaining this work isn’t just about knowledge and skills—it’s about having a space to land, reflect, and be in good company with others who truly understand.
(Speaking of good company, The Landing Space was the late-2024 co-brainchild of a conversation between our colleague Kate Gough and I where we were reflecting on the questions that so often come up in Supervision…..
“I’ve signed up for my 5th course in the row…and finished none of them…”
“I feel really isolated in this work…”
“I feel like others are doing fine, and I’m really not…”
Now, all of these sounded familiar to us - we get it (like, really get it). Which is why we put our heads together to ask “what is it that our community most needs?” So we asked a lot of people and the same themes kept shining through….community, connection, more being less doing.
So, we listened some more and hope you love what we came up with…..it’s called The Landing Space.
What is The Landing Space?
Each month from May through to December 2025, you can join us for a facilitated, live hour designed to help you deepen your reflective practice, build resilience, and develop skills that support longevity in your career. Our topics include supercharging your reflective practice, supporting your system, boundaries, values-aligned practice and more.
But - just to repeat - it’s not about more doing. This is your space to pause, process, and integrate what you already know in a way that truly lands. Through embodied practices, guided reflection, and the support of a like-minded community, The Landing Space reminds you that you are already enough and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
We invite you to *ahem* walk your talk #awkward and set this time aside for you, and notice the difference it makes to lean into reflection, together. You’ll be in good company—surrounded by others who understand the unique challenges and joys of the work that we do and the difference we hope to make in the world.
What can I expect when we meet each month?
If you joined me for Intentions and Reflections late last year, that’s the closest we can come to saying “it’s like that” - we’ll open with welcome and settling in our bodies and spaces before moving into the theme of the month (hosted by one of us or one of the wonderful guests we have lined up for you) and offer a series of reflective questions for you to consider to really bring the theme to life in a way that feels personally resonant for you. The themes each month are listed below - take a look! Then we’ll offer some optional sharing time and close with another practice, hoping to send you back out into life feeling restored, reinvigorated and reconnected. Each month, you’ll be provided with downloadable journal prompts, materials and tools you can keep and come back to whenever you like which we hope is a valuable addition to your (perhaps wonky?) self care practice.
The Landing Space is being offered every month from May to December 2025. There’ll be no powerpoints - this will not be a formal teaching space (although we hope you’ll feel like you’re learning something) and instead, we are aiming to create a unique space where we are invited into genuine and warm connection with a community of like-minded people, and into our own bodies as we reflect together.
Anyone at any stage of career is welcome, we are hoping that there’ll be something here for everyone.
(And yes, it’ll be recorded).
**We’ll be starting on May 21st, 2025 12-1pm AEST, which you are welcome to join us for at no fee and no obligation - come and see if this is a good fit for you (note: there will be no sales pitch, this is literally going to be the first session of the series)
