Welcome, traveller
My name is Rob Engels. I’m a PACFA-certified Somatic Psychotherapist, Ecotherapist, and founder of the School of Awareness. From my home in the Blue Mountains, I specialise in trauma-informed awareness practices that help dissolve the root causes of suffering in your body, to liberate the freedom, authenticity and wholeness that is rightfully yours.
My 1:1 somatic psychotherapy work runs deep. It goes beyond the surface layer of stories, inviting you into an experiential, embodied understanding of your core patterns so that you can tend and safely heal them. Using powerful somatic tools, I help you retrieve and resolve unconscious programming that traditional talk therapy can struggle to address.
Through the School of Awareness, I offer a range of courses and retreats designed for personal healing and professional growth. Whether you’re seeking tools to deepen your own healing journey or new skills to support others, these teachings empower you to expand your connection to yourself, your clients, and the more-than-human world.
From Emotional Repression work to Somatic Ecotherapy and Nature Therapy Guide training, these programs provide the skills and insights to transform both your life and your professional practice.
My passion is to guide you toward lasting freedom and wellbeing, equipping you with life-long tools for healing, insight, growth and boundless discovery.
Do you want to go deeper in your journey of healing and discovery?
Many of my clients have felt frustrated by traditional talk therapy or surface-level practises that do not seem to get to the heart of the issues that trouble them.
With qualifications in both Holistic Psychotherapy, which embraces the whole person, and specialist Somatic Therapies, which go deep into the body, I offer approaches that bridge mind, body, and soul. Offering a more direct and three dimensional path to healing.
Acknowledgement of Country
I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I work, breathe and wander, the Dharug, Gundungurra and Wiradjuri people. I recognise their continued connection to the land and waters, and acknowledge that they never ceded sovereignty. I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging, to the lineage of nature-based wisdom they steward and to the dreaming they embody.
