About me

A little about me, Roberta Trhulj, founder of Barefoot Heart . . .

Born in West Australia, I grew up inland, and as a consequence have a love for wide open spaces, nature and a keen sense of imagination. My visual way of looking at the world began a passion for the arts. My love of creativity led me to become a Graphic Designer for 14 years, working in Perth, London and Melbourne. My imagination and curiosity led me to travel.

I travelled widely and have an interest for people, cultures and their stories. On my return to Australia, I combined my love of people, stories and art to become an Art Therapist. On returning back to Perth, I pursued further studies in Holistic Counselling, Sandplay Therapy and most recently completing Masters of Counselling.

What brings me here, is that I highly value someone’s story and feel privileged whenever I am part of that. I am driven by the knowledge that alongside talking, non-verbal therapeutic modalities are a platform for unlocking insight, healing and change, that cannot be underestimated.
