Lorraine Peeters, Winangali-Marumali Managing Director & Facilitator

Lorraine Peeters has devoted several years of her life to assisting Aboriginal people heal from past and present traumas.

During childhood, like many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, Lorraine was removed and separated from her home and family and placed in an institution.

 

Through the healing journey necessitated by this traumatic event in her childhood, and her involvement with the healing of others, Lorraine developed the Marumali model of healing. In response to great demand and through collaboration with others, she went on to establish Winangali-Marumali. She has been facilitating the program workshops since 2000.

In addition to this work, Lorraine has been interviewed on national radio, co-authored scholarly articles & chapters, presented papers & workshops at conferences, addressed Sorry Day events and mentored several psychologists.
