About Heart & Soul Movement
Hi!
I'm Renee McDonald and I run Heart & Soul Movement retreats, workshops and classes.
I'm passionate about helping you and the community. I am working as a counsellor/psychotherapist and coach on the South Coast of New South Wales in private practice for over 13 years. And I have also worked in the field, assisting people in crisis and across the community for more than 18 years.
In my younger years, I worked in media and entertainment and the arts, where at one stage I was a dance teacher. I have been trained and have developed practices in a variety of movement-based meditations and sounding experiences.
Across 2013 and 2014, I worked with Ganga Karen Ashworth and have completed Your Healing Voice certifications. This assists me to work with sound, song and chanting. I have additionally trained in movement therapies, in coaching, counselling, psychotherapy and workshop facilitation. I'm an avid attendee at retreats and I love to host them too!

Flourish in your life with me!
