the wildflower blooms in the harshest environments, free from cultivation. Weaving their way through cracks with admirable resilience and grace. Their roots embedded in rich, old soil. Their inner knowing is unwavering.

Its name grows in popularity, perhaps this is an ode to remembering and reconciling the wildflower within.

polly - founder, nature-based speech therapist

I am Polly. Founder of We are Wildflowers.

For most of my 20’s I dreamt of creating change, though, I didn’t know how or what this looked like. I just continued to follow and trust my experiences and the deep, sometimes painstaking calls from my heart.

I entered this world, growing alongside my triplet brother Pierce who deeply inspired and challenged me for 26 years to better understand myself and others.

I weave my rich personal experiences with professional training in a range of modalities including speech language therapy, nervous system regulation, trauma informed practice, neuro affirming principles and somatic practises that incorporate movement, voice and the breath.

I’ve led connection and nature-based programs and worked individually with incredible young humans. Always passionately centring around communication, connection and deepening our relationships with ourselves, others and the natural world.

We are Wildflowers grew from a desire to offer a more intuitive, intimate and inclusive approach to wellbeing through offerings that promote self-care, social inclusion and self-expression.

A space to bring our whole, wild selves.

We are Wildflowers is devoted to Pierce, who lived his life thriving with the fierce support of his loving family and community.
