“Awaken the Ember Within…”

A Philosophy of Healing that combines ancient wisdom and traditional practices with modern, trauma-informed, holistic, and nature-based therapies. It offers four directional pathways that create a safe, trusted space for deep transformation.

About the space


Ember Within is based within the Illawarra and offers both in-person and online sessions. Our two physical locations are very reflective of our philosophy of healing and the pathway an individual’s journey may take:

  • Ripples Allied Health Care

  • Calm the Farm

  • Online

Ember Within emerged at the confluence of integrative trauma‑aware practices, holistic therapies, nature-based therapies, traditional methodologies, and ancient shamanic healing, forming a sanctuary where spiritual and psychological dimensions of healing are not compartmentalised but interwoven. This synthesis honors the lived experience of trauma while drawing on time‑tested rites, body‑centered modalities, and contemporary therapeutic insights to address the whole person—mind, heart, body, and spirit. In this held space, guidance is tailored and attuned, encouraging embodied transformation, restoring balance, and supporting resilient, meaningful integration of healing across all levels of being.

Ember Within provides a philosophy of healing recognising that transformation happens when the nervous system feels safe enough for the whole person—body, mind, emotions and spirit and to be able to reconnect with you own inner wisdom.

The Four Directions of Healing


We offer thoughtful, flexible, directional pathways to support you wherever you are in your healing. Compassionate guidance and practical skills help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, regain vitality, clear heavier energies, and move forward with clarity and resilience. Whether you are awakening to restoration through integrative holistic & somatic therapies, seeking clarity or guidance through shamanic healing, longing for reconnection and belonging via our nature and equine experiences, or looking for education and community, each option is crafted with care and respect for your unique journey. Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, our services meet you where you are—providing grounded support, integrative guidance, and time for healing at a pace that feels sustainable. If you’re ready for deeper support, explore the available pathways through our four directions or contact us to find the best fit.

Meet Founder - Rebs Baigent

Shaped by over two decades of professional practice and a genuine commitment to meaningful, lasting change, I offer a deeply personalised experience to those with whom I work.

Rather than following a prescriptive model, my approach honours the uniqueness of each individual. I meet you where you are — offering grounded guidance, intuitive insight, and integrative support that reflects your lived experience and inner landscape.

My work draws from extensive experience across somatic practice, shamanic healing, integrative therapies, and depth-oriented traditions. It bridges contemporary therapeutic understanding with ancient healing practices, holding both with care, discernment, and respect for the natural pace of healing.

At the heart of my work is steady presence — solid ground and quiet fire. A space where you can be real, where truth is welcomed, and where nothing essential needs to be hidden.

From this foundation, meaningful transformation unfolds. Resilience strengthens. Insight deepens. And what has felt fragmented can begin to gather and integrate

Testimonials

“I believe there are no chance encounters. I was seeking help during the toughest time of my life, when it felt like the walls were closing in on me and I couldn’t breathe, unable to figure myself out of the pain I was in. A friend of mine referred me to Rebs as she had also helped her through a challenging time. I had no idea what to expect, but I was willing to go after trying psychology sessions that weren’t resonating with me.

Rebs meets you where you are at, intuitively working across various healing modalities based on what you need in each session. Within a few visits, I felt clearer in my mind and calmer in my body. I realised you can’t ‘figure yourself’ out of issues, you have to go within to listen and feel what you already know is your truth. Going within to do the inner work, Rebs was a guide for me, illuminating the potential path forward with so much love, light and a great dose of humour thrown in.

I am forever grateful for Rebs. She provided healing in my darkest time, clearing negative energy that had crept into mind and body, which was not of me. She was honest and humble in her approach, holding space so I could work through the pain, shining a light back to myself. Rebs has since become a way shower of a deepened spiritual practice, and I will always have so much love and respect for the work she does and who she is.
