She has amassed over 9 million views on YouTube and a collective social media following of over 400,000 which offers her in depth lived experience around struggling with self-worth, artistic confidence and challenges of comparison.
  • Bree Stewart – Meet our mental health clinician, Bree! Originally born in Melbourne but raised in New Zealand, Bree was lucky enough to attend the Music & Audio Institute of New Zealand. Bree spent most of her youth drumming in punk and pop-rock bands within Auckland’s live music scene. Bree returned to Melbourne in her early twenties, over time she began to shift her professional focus to emotional wellbeing after experiencing her own lived experience of mental health challenges. During this time, she wrote for an online music magazine, “Stimulate Your Soul“. Bree has worked within digital crisis support, youth services, trauma informed support as well as consultancy positions across the health sector.
