Description

Hi! Coucou!

I'm Danika, a Sydney-based psychologist, dancer and wannabe yogi. What motivates me is authentic self-expression, open-mindedness and wellness, for myself and others, whatever that may look like! Practically, these values have manifested as my work as a psychologist (kids, families and those living with a disability), latin dance teaching, swimming/surfing, practicing yoga/meditation, and having a pescatarian diet.

Lately, I have been pulled to take some time to reset and to discover more perspectives and experiences of the world. To do so, I will be embarking on a 10-12 month holiday between February and November 2025. My main travel aims would be cultural immersion, relaxation/wellness, adventure and skill building. Whilst my main workaway skills would involve looking after kids and teaching English/Dance/French (oui, je parle le francais aussi, niveau "B2"), I would love to learn new skills so that I can meaningfully contribute and experience being a part of the community.

Thank you for your time reading my profile! I look forward to meeting you :)

More details about your skills

1. Psychology - my work and passion, keen to exchange cultural ideas about wellness.

2. Working with children - I have worked with children since I was 14 years old. From 15 to 18 I volunteered for a respite program for children living with disabilities. From 18 to 23 I was a boarding house supervisor for teens aged 11 to 18. From 24 I have worked as a psychologist at schools, homes and in clinics, mainly centred around child and family therapy. I love working with kids and helping them thrive!

2. Dance teaching - I am a dance teacher! I would love to share my love of dance. I mainly dance latin styles- reggaeton, Brazilian funk, salsa and bachata, but was ballet and tap trained as a child, and I don't shy away from some ecstatic/interpretative dance!)

3. English/French teaching - I tutored french for university students for a few years, and at one point was fluent in French. Now, not so much, but I could teach the basics of both languages.

4. Cooking - I have cooked for myself since I was 18 years old (a good 9 years!) and love cooking new things!
