Hello everyone, I am Despina Jaya Tsimitra and I welcome you all to this space of transformation and harmony. 

Here's a little bit about me.

I was born and raised in Greece where I studied Archaeology, which relates to my passion searching beneath the surface. 

My spiritual awakening started in 2001 when a friend gifted me with a wonderful book, igniting my love and passion for Astrology! 

The language of Astrology helped me unpack my personal story and understand how my relationships with Self and others influenced my perspectives on  belonging and connection.

In 2003 I qualified as Level II Reiki practitioner, followed by a life changing  meditative period at an Osho Ashram in Pune, India in 2006. It was during this time I was also gifted my spiritual name, Jaya.

I relocated to Australia with my family in 2013 and by 2015 was working as a childcare teacher.  My interactions with children supported my spiritual journey beautifully, allowing a deeper connection with my own inner child which needed acknowledgement and exploration through play.

My healing journey has been a rich and rewarding experience, guiding me to further studies in Esoteric and Psychological Astrology, and more recently Holistic Counselling and trauma informed therapies. ​

I believe our traumas can become our strengths and our mission in life. To achieve this, it's important to embrace and accept our own light and shadows. 

As an astrologer and holistic therapist, my approach is to acknowledge and validate that we are all 'beautiful works in process' by combining strategies aimed to nurture deep reflection and healing.  My intention is to provide a safe space for exploration with curiosity, and to connect more with who you really are.
