Why 'Wombat Hollow'?

The basis of the name, 'Wombat Hollow,' came to our principal practitioner, Jeanette, when she was just a little girl, visiting the zoo with her grandmother. She had never seen a wombat before, but immediately resonated with this round sturdy animal. The fact that she could reach over and just manage to touch this beautiful animal sealed what was to be a lifelong affection.

Many years later, when it came to acquiring a business name, the result was self-evident. Yes, 'Wombat Hollow' sounded appealing, but more than that, it echoed Jeanette's intention of what this holistic practice now offers.

The meaning for 'wombat' as a totem animal reflects the meaning of standing your ground when needed, determination, and confidence in one's abilities. These have all been actions she follows, but has had to work hard over time to achieve - just as you, our clients, will come to our practice presenting with areas requiring support to grow.

In Scott Alexander King's "Animal Messenger" he speaks of the wombat 'walking her talk' and that 'to treat others as you would be treated yourself is the golden rule of wombat dreaming.' This meaning, in particular, is a philosophy with which Jeanette strongly resonates. It is the intention of this practice to support you always with this philosophy in mind.

The word 'hollow' was chosen to imply a place of comfort and caring, a cosy private hollow or safe place, where one can be one's self and be able to speak freely and with trust. We hope this image is also realised for you when you choose to use our services.

What about 'Pathways to Harmony and Light"?

The second part of our title is no doubt self-explanatory. There are many pathways to health and well-being. We hope you are encouraged to explore the various pathways and approaches offered by this practice, as we are keenly motivated to work with you in achieving your best life goals.

We believe that 'harmony' reflects a state of happiness and peace of mind, whether in relationships, decision-making, or other endeavours. To feel positive, joyful, and 'in tune' with yourself - as well as with others - is to experience harmony.

Light is the light of understanding, the 'ah ha' moment, the recognition of cause and effect, the answer to whatever needs to be resolved or attended to. It refers also to a higher and fuller awareness of whatever you are seeking on your life's current journey.
