Embrace Your Sensitivity
Welcome to High Sensitivity Australia
Discover a sanctuary designed to empower and support highly sensitive individuals through education, resources, and community connections.
Understanding High Sensitivity
High sensitivity is a unique personality trait characterised by heightened emotional responses and deep processing of sensory information. The ‘She’ll be right mate’ attitude that is deeply imbedded in Australian culture often leaves highly sensitive Aussies feeling out of place when overwhelmed by normal life. At High Sensitivity Australia, we recognise the importance of fostering a supportive environment for those who experience the world more intensely. Our mission is to provide resources and guidance to help highly sensitive individuals thrive in all aspects of life, from personal growth to professional success.

For Highly Sensitive People, by Highly Sensitive People
Erica Webb and Matt Glover share a passion for empowering Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) to embrace their sensitivity as a strength. Together, they create safe, supportive spaces for HSPs to explore their unique traits, navigate challenges, and thrive.
Erica is a compassionate yoga and somatic movement teacher with years of experience helping people connect with their bodies and emotions. Her gentle, inclusive approach focuses on nurturing self-awareness, regulating the nervous system, and fostering self-compassion. Erica’s work is rooted in the belief that movement is a powerful tool for transformation, particularly for HSPs seeking balance and calm in a noisy world.
Matt brings his expertise as a counsellor and forest therapy guide to their shared mission. With over a decade of experience in mental health and community care, he specializes in working with trauma, grief, and the unique needs of sensitive individuals. His evidence-based approaches, including ACT and mindfulness, align seamlessly with the needs of HSPs.
Through workshops, retreats, and one-on-one sessions, Erica and Matt blend their skills to offer holistic support for HSPs. Whether through somatic movement, forest therapy, or counselling, their work empowers HSPs to flourish, embracing sensitivity as a superpower.
