Not all therapy rooms are the same, and here at The Therapy Pod, we embrace the transformative power of a naturally beautiful environment. Our sessions may unfold on the cozy verandah of our small cabin, where you can enjoy a cup of tea while overlooking the horses, or meander down the rocky creek beds with your feet in the cool water. The soothing sounds of whip birds and resident kookaburras create a calming backdrop, while the delicate dance of butterflies adds to the serenity of the setting. You might even be fortunate enough to spot a tawny frogmouth, koala, python, or swamp wallaby in their natural habitat. This immersive experience not only enhances the therapeutic journey but also promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and a deep connection to nature.

Tallebudgera is an Aboriginal word said to mean “good fish” and derived from “talle” meaning “fish” and “budgerie” meaning “good”.
