Meet Keesha Panaka Forrest
Keesha is a Yamaji Nhanagardie, Badimia, Wongi and Binjarub woman who brings a cultural woman’s perspective to healing through the elements of Country.
Raised for 18 years in California, Keesha grew up connecting with First Nations people in her region. Her own healing journey through trauma, grief and loss has deepened her connection to Country, culture, Creator Spirit and the healing work she shares. She brings this lived experience, strength and understanding into her workshops.
Keesha is as a Traditional healer from birth. Her healing abilities and bush medicine knowledge have been guided by Elders and passed through family and culture. With a background in youth and community services, she has studied youth work, counselling and theological biblical studies.
From time to time, Keesha works alongside her partner, a Nhunda Widi Wiradjuri Man. He supports her in healing work and sometimes joins her in workshops and On-Country experiences.
