Renae Stevens is the founder of CreativeBodyFlow, a holistic therapeutic model that integrates expressive creative therapies with movement-based approaches to support emotional and physical well-being. Drawing on a deep understanding of neurobiology and biomechanics, Renae’s work is rooted in helping individuals navigate the effects of pain, stress, and trauma through creative expression, movement, and somatic practices.
With a master’s degree in Mental Health (Art Therapy) and a background in trauma recovery, Renae is a registered Expressive Therapist who has spent years developing innovative methods to support diverse populations. Her master’s thesis focused on the use of the CreativeBodyFlow intervention model to reduce PTSD symptoms in newly arrived refugee youth, combining therapeutic aerial hammock applications with creative arts therapy to promote healing in non-verbal, body-centered ways.
Renae’s therapeutic repertoire spans beyond traditional methods. Her training includes disciplines such as Polestar Clinical Pilates, the Franklin Method, and aerial therapeutics, allowing her to offer a wide range of tools to support emotional regulation, stress relief, and physical rehabilitation. She applies her knowledge of anatomy and physiology, gained through studies at the University of Queensland and intensive training in therapeutic movement, to create tailored, integrative healing experiences for her clients.
A passionate advocate for the benefits of a multimodal approach, Renae works with children and adults facing challenges related to neurodiversity, trauma, chronic pain, and disability. She combines expressive creative therapy, therapeutic movement, and somatic techniques to create customised, dynamic therapy sessions that empower individuals to heal through self-expression and body awareness.
Renae now offers her services in the peaceful rainforest setting of Tamborine Mountain. Her purpose-built therapeutic environment blends movement and creative arts therapy in a space designed to calm and support those who may feel overwhelmed in clinical settings. This tranquil atmosphere enhances her ability to offer deeply restorative experiences for clients, helping them find balance and healing.
