Awakening of Love Australia

Gina Bloom began her professional life in academia, studying myth, literature and fine arts before completing a double honours degree at the University of Sydney (University Medal in Eng Lit) and postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge (M.Phil cum lauda). She later moved into the medical research sector, working with Sydney, NSW and Melbourne Universities. In 1999 she founded Connect Research and Strategy, a consultancy that worked across Government and Corporate sectors.

After two decades of mental health research and evaluation, Gina shifted to direct therapeutic work, re-training as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP, through the Peter Levine Institute).

For the past 20+ years she has also been a professional DJ, from playing the Australian club and party circuit, to Burning Man (USA) to being trained in the 360 Emergence.

Informed by her backgrounds in research, psychotherapy and creative practice, Gina's  approach integrates somatic trauma resolution with reflective dialogue, supporting individuals to move through personal challenges and reconnect with a deeper sense of wellbeing, creativity and inner resource. In private practice, in addition to general counselling and supervising therapists, Gina specialises in supporting a wide range of artists, performers and professionals' personal and professional development. In the Path of Love process she works internationally in the facilitator, music therapist and organiser roles.
