Swells of Life Therapy logo
"Swells of Life Therapy" logo draws symbolism from the metaphor of the ocean's swells to represent the highs and lows of life. Individualised therapy focuses on supporting you to navigate the ebbs and flows of life effectively, developing skills to manage these challenges.
The use of dolphins as a symbol in this context represents qualities such as calmness, compassion, and being present. Dolphins are often associated with these traits due to their graceful and gentle nature, as well as their ability to navigate the waters with agility and awareness. Integrating the symbolism of dolphins signifies a focus on cultivating these qualities within oneself to better cope with life's ups and downs.
In summary Tammy Schwarzl - Swells of Life Therapy aims to align with all of the aspects of the logo and is centered around supporting individuals to develop tools to navigate through both the calm and turbulent times with resilience and empowerment.
