Buranymarda ("Hello, it's good to see you" - in Badimaya language)Nganangu ini ("My name is " - in Badimaya language) Teagen Treacher and I am the proud director and lead practitioner here at Dyuba Barndi (pronounced Djoo-ba Barn-dee). I am a proud Badimaya woman who grew up surrounded by rainforest and waterfalls on Taungurung Country in northern Victoria.

I am excited to share Wayapa with people from all walks of life looking to meaningfully connect with Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing and to truly feel the responsibility and sense of belonging that comes from sustainably connecting and caring for Mother Earth.

As a health practitioner working most of my career with families and young children, I have a particular interest in introducing this important practice to children who are in the early developmental stages of learning emotional regulation and building resilience, and who are often so innately drawn to engage and connect with nature every day. To have the opportunity to promote healing, resilience and strength in children and contribute to intergenerational wellbeing is an absolute privilege and calls to my spirit in giving back to Community.

I look forward to walking alongside you as you re-connect with Mother Earth and learn from the ancient wisdom Indigenous peoples hold and feel when connecting and caring for to Country.

Take care, Yurda ("See you later" - in Badimaya language)
