Linda is PRODA registered and NDIS-approved, working with self-managed and plan-managed participants.

Confidence, Wellbeing & Practical Self-Care

Meet Emma


Emma leads and facilitates our Rise Youth girls' programs, creating a warm, encouraging and inclusive space where girls can have fun, build confidence, learn practical skills and form new friendships.


Our groups are intentionally kept small so that every girl has the opportunity to participate, connect with others and feel included. We want girls to leave feeling that they were seen, heard and genuinely part of the group.


With more than 20 years’ experience in beauty therapy and self-care, Emma brings a practical and down-to-earth approach to wellbeing. Sessions may include simple, realistic wellbeing activities such as breathing and relaxation exercises, positive self-care habits, confidence-building activities and opportunities to have fun and connect with other girls.


Emma’s warm and encouraging style helps create an environment where girls can be themselves without pressure or expectation. Her focus is on helping each girl recognise her strengths, develop healthy everyday habits and build confidence from the inside out.


Above all, Rise Youth is a place for girls to learn, laugh, make connections and discover that looking after themselves — physically, emotionally and socially — matters.
