It looks like a simple gathering…you lay down…I facilitate and you receive…

BUT - there is so much more going on here.

The Well-BEING Sanctuary is 90 minutes of stepping away from the doing, and settling into a comfortable space that allows you to be fully supported.

When life feels overwhelming or stress has been building, guided visualisation, conscious connected breathwork and a sound bath can be the perfect way to pause and reconnect with yourself.

I use guided visualisation…inviting you to imagine healing spaces and experiences that feel peaceful and reassuring.
This helps your body relax and gives your mind a welcome break from everyday worries.

As you settle in, your breathing and heart rate slows down, and tension in the muscles eases.

Conscious connected breathwork invites you to explore the flow of your breath and notice what’s happening within you.
The pace always matters here: some breathing patterns are energising, so I keep the practice responsive to your needs, with room to soften, pause or return to your natural breath.

Then, there’s the sound bath.
A chance for your cells to vibrate as the brainwaves attune to the sounds around you.

You don’t need to work anything out or make anything happen. Early research suggests sound bowl may help ease tension and anxiety. I love this that science now knows what we felt all along.

Together, these combined practices offer powerful ways to support both your body and your mind.

You may notice yourself feeling more settled, with a little more spacious around your thoughts and feelings.

There’s no particular way you need to feel, and no experience you need to achieve.

If you’ve been feeling stretched or simply want some time for yourself, I’d love you to join me.

Come as you are.
Let yourself be looked after for a while.

We meet again 28th November in Essendon 10am to 11:30. Come and join us - click link below:

The uncomfortable truth is… the menopausal years can make the veil we used to hide behind feel very thin.

Things we’ve managed for years can suddenly feel harder to contain.

Old grief.
Old wounds.
Anger we swallowed.
Needs we pushed aside.
Experiences we survived by simply getting on with life.

And sometimes we wonder…

Why is this coming up NOW?

Perimenopause and menopause bring significant hormonal changes, and these changes can affect sleep, mood, stress sensitivity and emotional regulation.

But there can be another layer too.

Many women have spent decades holding everything together.

Raising children.
Working.
Caring for others.
Managing relationships.
Being capable.
Being the one who copes.

We became very good at pushing things down because, at the time, we needed to.

And then we reach this stage of life and something shifts.

Our tolerance for overriding ourselves can become much smaller.

The body feels louder.
Emotions feel closer to the surface.
Patterns we once tolerated become harder to tolerate.
And experiences we thought we’d “dealt with” can begin asking for our attention again.

I don’t necessarily see that as going backwards or getting worse with age.
Sometimes this our an invitation to finally work with what we previously only had the capacity to survive.

This is some of the work I hold with women through somatic therapy, nervous-system work, hypnotherapy and therapeutic bodywork.

We don’t need to dig up every painful memory.
We work gently with what is showing up now, what your body is communicating, and what you no longer want to carry into the next chapter of your life.

If you’re in your menopausal years and you’ve found yourself thinking, “Why is all of this coming up now?”, come and work with me.

Perhaps your body isn’t betraying you.
Perhaps it’s finally asking to be heard.

What if, for a moment, nothing was missing?

On the last day of our A Balanced Life Retreat, I sat still long enough to not only hear the birds but felt them as they swirled around me.

Long enough to feel the warmth of the sun rising on my face.
Long enough to notice my own sweet breath.
Long enough to remember that this tender moment was once a dream in my Melbourne kitchen.

We spend so much time looking towards the horizon.
When will I have more?
When will I have done more?
I’ll do it when I’ve healed this.
Changed that.
Found the person.
Lost the weight.
Made the money.
Got the promotion.

I’ve learnt to finally arrive somewhere that feels like enough every day.
As life is quietly happening inside of us.

And it’s stillness that brings me back to this over and over.

My whole being softens.
My breath finds its own melody.
The urgency of ‘doing’ loosens its grip.
I can see what is here instead of everything that isn’t.

Gratitude, for me, isn’t pretending everything is wonderful.
Some seasons are hard.
Some things are yet to be.
There are still dreams I want to bring into existence.
But I don’t want to spend my whole life leaning towards the next thing and miss the life that has already arrived.

Maybe this is how we learn to hold more.

Not by desiring futures or gripping harder to what we have.
But by creating enough space inside ourselves to receive the medicine that is already here.

A quiet moment.
A body that carried us here.
A place to come home to.
Another day we get to be part of.

There will always be another horizon.

But today, look around my darlings.

Some of what you once wished for is here now.

Don’t forget to live in this moment too.

𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 & 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗠

What if you could travel beyond this timeline… beyond this world and safely leave your body and mind behind?

To step away from the 3D thinking, planning, analysing of everything, to try to bring it all together.

And travel somewhere deeper...
Somewhere where the answers are simply there waiting for you.

This is an invitation into an immersive journey through shamanic breathwork and hypnotic trance.

A journey beyond your usual conscious awareness and into the inner landscapes of the mind.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛 𝗕𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗪𝗔𝗬

As the rhythm of your breathing changes and your attention turns inward, you’ll be guided away from the external world and towards a deeper state of awareness.

From there, we enter trance.
You may experience it as travelling.
Moving through different landscapes.
Crossing thresholds.
Entering portals.
Finding yourself somewhere completely unexpected.

You may encounter symbolic guides, protectors, ancestors, archetypes or other figures created within the rich imagery of your unconscious mind.

You may discover a place that feels deeply familiar, even though you’ve never consciously been there before.

Or you may simply experience stillness necessary for it land in you.

There will nothing that you need to force into creation, manufacture or “get just right”.

Your journey will be your own.

𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛 … 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 … 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗

Saturday 27th September
Sanative Sanctuary | Brunswick
6:00pm to 8:00pm

Massage can sometimes be seen as a luxury item…something you book on holidays or when you want to treat yourself.

But when your body is carrying daily muscular tension, stiffness, soreness or the physical effects of stress, massage is simply body care.

Stress often shows up physically.
You might notice it in yourself as stiffness, bracing, that holding of tension, breathing more shallowly or finding it difficult to fully relax.

Massage gives your body time to land gently, to slow down, suspend the thoughts and experience a period of rest without needing to ‘do’ anything…except receive.

Thats where I come in…

You don’t have to wait until your neck won’t turn, your back is aching or your shoulders feel permanently tight.
A regular massage can help you notice and address tension way earlier - before discomfort or pain is the thing that finally gets you booking in to see me.

If your body has been feeling tight, sore or simply tired lately, it might be time for some TLC with me.

Book your next massage and let me give your body some time to pause, soften and be completely nourished.

My heart feels very full after this morning’s Wellbeing Sanctuary offering.

Such a special way to open our first practice to welcome spring energy together through sound, breath and meditation, by creating space to slow down, soften and simply be.

We began by sharing Blue Lotus Tea, a beautiful symbol for the season we’re stepping into.

The blue lotus 🪷 grows from the mud, rising through darker waters before opening towards the light. I love the reminder in that: we don’t need perfect conditions to grow. Sometimes the seasons that have felt heavy, uncomfortable or uncertain are the very ground from which something new begins to emerge.

And spring feels like the perfect time to honour that.

Thank you to every person who came this morning, shared the space and allowed themselves to receive.
As always, it’s such a privilege to hold this practice with you.

Our next Wellbeing Sanctuary will be:
Saturday 3 October
10:00 am – 11:30 am
revibe3040
Essendon

Just 90 minutes of your day to give something back to yourself.

Time to breathe.
Time to settle your nervous system.
Time to step away from the demands of everyday life and create some space for rest, stress support and reconnection with yourself.

Sometimes we spend so many of our days giving our energy away.
This is your invitation to give a little of it back to you.
