About Jacinta
I'm Jacinta, the founder behind Nurture Cottage. My journey into holistic therapy began with a pivotal moment of transformation in 2014, leading me from a career in music education to the enchanting world of healing through play. Armed with qualifications in early childhood music education, life coaching, meditation, and sound healing, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our cottage.
Driven by a deep commitment to emotional well-being and connection, I embarked on a quest to deepen my understanding of holistic counselling and psychotherapy. Along the way, I discovered the transformative power of play, leading me to specialise in clinical child-centered play therapy and beyond.
Throughout my professional journey, I've dedicated myself to acquiring a diverse array of both undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications across various therapeutic and coaching disciplines. My undergraduate studies in Early Childhood Music Education and Suzuki Music Education provided a solid foundation for my career. As I progressed, I attained certification as a Life Coach, specialising in Children’s Emotion Coaching and Meditation Teaching. Additionally, I've earned certifications in Acutonics and Sound Therapy, alongside a Post Grad in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Grad Cert in Sand Tray Therapy and as a Goulding SleepTalk® Consultant and a Child-Parent Relationship Therapy Facilitator.
My passion for learning has driven me to pursue further certifications including Clinical Child Centered Play Therapy, AutPlay Therapy, Trauma Play Therapy, and Neuro Dramatic Play Therapy. Furthermore, I am certified as a Parent Coach and Circle of Security Facilitator, with qualifications in Creative Arts Therapy, VibroAcoustic Sound Therapy, and Yin Breathwork. I’ve also recently completed 5 Elements Coaching, EBEFT Foundational Practitioner Training and Brain Gym Instructor training.
Currently, I am expanding my expertise through an Advanced Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy, while simultaneously undergoing Clinical training to become a Homeopath.
With a diverse skill set and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning, my mission is to provide comprehensive support and guidance to my clients through a holistic approach.
