Sh***ri isn’t that sexy, for me, it’s comforting.

It can be sexy and that is how this practice was originally introduced to me….. but it’s become so much more meaningful to me since then.

Sh***ri is hardly ever about loss of power, control and the person tying “getting off” in any way.

For me, this has been a practice of regulation, being held and contained.

It’s a space where I can let myself go from “holding it all together” for myself, and everyone else.

To simply being.

Surrendered.

The place I go to in a Sh***ri session is womb-like.

I return to the womb where I can be nurtured and safe.

I am bound to MY body; it is me and me.

I rarely even take notice of the rigger. Unless they aren’t attuned to me, because that is very obvious and not a good time.

Everything outside of me becomes so quiet and all the deepest emotions inside me feel like they can be heard.

There is no performance, no getting it right, nothing I need to “do” and I think that’s probably a big reason it’s such a powerful process to me.

Sh***ri is quite a ceremonial practice. With a lot of cultural history and tradition from Japan.

However, sh***ri is also a form of proprioception exercise and for that reason is incredibly supportive to my health challenges and nervous system regulation.

I’ve been asked to be Sh***ri rope model for a workshop coming up at the end of Feb - Sunshine Coast. By none other than the legend Duncan/Shivalex. ***ri

I’ve had some profound experiences and healing that has taken place during sh***ri sessions with Duncan. And even had some lessons in learning to tie, too.🪢

I’m so warmed by being invited to bring this work to life and continue being an advocate for how Sh***ri can be so much more than novelty for the bedroom and truly honour the practice that it is.

If you’ve been curious to learn more about sh***ri, I’d warmly invite you to this intimate workshop held with care, safety, and deep attunement, exploring the subtle energetics that can be woven through rope.

Incoming rant …
I have so much to say on this topic.

I feel I’ll continue to speak about this even more as I continue my pathway to recovery and healing with chronic health.

For those of you who don’t know. I’ve been quite challenged with chronic health for over two years now.

No - this is NOT the part where you message me saying your *insert modality here* can help fix me. 🙄

In the past I have been a huge believer in alternative healing - I still am, when it is grounded…

However, I see it more of a “yes, and…” these days.

I have received more progress in my healing with a formal diagnosis, qualified professional support and simply accepting my health circumstances than any fancy alternative modalities.

There…. I said it.

Where the planets are in the sky, how positive my thinking is, the affirmations, this book, that course etc etc.

It didn’t do sh*t for me when I needed it to help the most.

I was naive. Oh so very naive.

When chronic health started to onset (the first time) nearly four years ago.. I didn’t see a single medical professional.

I double downed on listening to my intuition and seeing where life was asking me to pivot next.

I saw healer after healer seeking the support to get me through.

To no avail.

It eventually subsided enough to return to “normal” life.

2yrs later and it hit, harder.

I was debilitated and my whole world crumbled.

I ended up seeing professionals this time.

And they weren’t the absolute, either.

It took 18mths of questioning everything.

Walking through the dark of “what the f*ck is happening to me”.

To FINALLY accept (as best I could) what was and start to make a life where I was at.

And then a formal diagnosis came along shortly after.

There was no absolute, no perfect way, no this is better than that.

But one thing I will say is……

My naivety around seeking professional support really delayed me getting the help I needed.

People giving their two cents that have NO IDEA what it is like to live in my body, really harmed me.

Seeing modern medicine as the whole answer.
Or seeing alternative therapists as the saviour.

10 years ago Today
I was sexually assaulted,
Or r***d
A word in which it took me a few years to acknowledge and fully own.

I thought I was “being a victim” if I called it that.

A trending pseudo spiritual and self-held terminology that was RIFE at the time.

But eventually I was able to give myself the grace and validation that, yes, I was in fact a victim.

There was also too much shame, secrecy, stigmatisation and fear in sharing when the whole “me too” movement rolled in.

At the time, it felt like I was too messy in it.

Still healing, still raw, still judging myself for feeling broken by what had happened.

There was an image I was trying to uphold.

F**k that sh*t….
Clearly, I’ve moved past that now 😅

I literally packed up my whole life and moved 12hr away from all my family, my life and the traumatic memories that had just occurred - 5 days after it happened.

I moved to the northern rivers where I knew maybe a handful of people and started fresh.

In some ways, it was my saving grace.
In other ways, it was a lot.

I’ve felt a shift the past few days - into reflection of everything this year has been.

I’ve been moving through waves and waves of tears and emotions.
Both tears of gratitude and tears of grief, alike.

My health challenges and learning who this new me is, has been one of the most challenging processes I’ve had to face.

A dissolving of my old self.
One who thought she could take on the world!

My heart breaks and aches when I think of all the moments that brought me to my knees this past 1.5yrs

My heart also cracks open at all the love, support and truly tender moments that I’ve been held by those around me.
I am truly blessed by those who have met me with compassion, understanding & acceptance for who I am, in each & every moment
Thanks for teaching me how to love me, even when I couldn’t.

Last New Years Eve my dear friend whispered songs of wisdom in my ear “you gotta put Tara first”. Who would have known how woven into every area of my life that song would become.

There’s always further to grow, but I actually do feel like I’ve arrived, putting me first and being okay to own, accept & advocate for my unique self and sensitive needs.

I’ve journeyed through the depths of darkness & death.
I’ve journeyed through the heightened states of pleasure & very mundane human.

What a time!

Coming into the wombs pace....

No fix
No hurry
No doing
No where to be

Except within

IN

Deeply inwards

STILLNESS
SILENCE
COCOONED

This is where I have been hiding out

And it's where I invite you

To come and be held in the wombs pace

To step outside of the fast, dense, busy, blur of our overstimulated world

And into the nurturing cocoon of healing, touch, warmth and nourishment

Through presence and deeply devotional sacred touch allow yourself to be guided with-in

I look back on photos like this when I was first starting out (7 years ago now) and reflect on all the many people I have help, supported and touched💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

My business got to the point I had been working towards a few years ago and instead of it fulfilling all my wildest dreams, I realised it had come at a pretty big cost and I was now experiencing some pretty extreme burnout

Fast forward two years, smaller client load, more self care, new offerings, more events, taken on second additional business

It again, felt like I was "on track" for everything that I had been working towards

Yet it came at a similar price, significant health issues and burnout

I feel like the past 6 or so months I have literally been brought to my knees to look at this pattern

The one where I create in a really unsustainable way
The one where my way of service is built on the foundations of depletion
The one where I am aware and feel responsible for so many others needs that mine fall by the way side

My health had to get so extreme that the part of me who says "it's fine, I got this, I can move through anything" even needed crumbled to the ground, until all I could focus on was literally my own basic needs, and even that was an everyday challenge

So here I am;
Still learning
Still healing

I took almost everything off my plate, to focus only on my needs, to have some HUGE boundaries, to then slowly bring each piece back in with a new foundation of self-care solidified into every area of my life

So am I still seeing 1:1 clients?
Yes

Am I well enough to show up for them?
Yesssss, I am deeply rooted in self care, have a well resourced cup and only giving from the overpour these days, I have my limits and my capacity has increased dramatically the past few weeks, yay!

Reach out if you've been wanting a session and not known if my doors are open🥰

It’s been a minute….

I’ve been in quite a huge process of health, burnout, and complete unravelling of who I am.

It’s taken me some time
and I’m still not process tbh.

I feel like a whole new me in terms of what’s most important to me, my values, and the way I move through the world.

I feel like who I was is now a stranger to me, and most of the world around me too.

Like the sensitive little seed, that was hidden beneath and piled under the rushing, hurry, be there for everyone before myself..
This seed has began to breathe and grow. 🌱

It’s been quite the challenge to let go of being ‘something for everyone’.

But the cost of being something for everyone above myself, quite literally ran me into the ground.

I feel like I’ve been in conservation mode…..

Protective of my sensitive seed within.

Fearful, at times, to re-emerge again.

But as time passes, I know this little seed will crack it’s way above the surface of my life and have the most beautiful gifts to share with the world.

“Patience”
My life whispers
“There is no rush anymore”

I had someone recently reflect to me “everytime I see you, or your posts, you’re always accomplishing so much. I never think you struggle like this”.

This post is to share a little window inside my human experience and the full spectrum of life- not just the highlight reels. 🤍✨

I’m meant to be running an event Tonight with the theme being Womb Void.

Instead I’ll be floating into the abyss for a 3 month break from running events.

I’ve been deeply in the listening and void of where life is calling me forward right now.

It feels like to really honour the integrity of what I am creating through Womben, I need to take some time to honour myself.

I will continue to be deeply in the listening and following the threads that Womben is whispering to me.

She says “I need more than you can offer right now. You’re in a Winter phase.”

And despite wanting to wrestle with this and continue to offer something I am so committed to giving the world, it’s true.

Please join us in Oct for a Free Community Lunch upon my return to events.

Dance and music has been such a huge part of my life.

I love the way you can weave together music to create a whole journey.

So much so I’ve considered taking up DJing myself.

When I was younger I always found myself dating “the DJ” and still to this day some how I always end up dating either an audio engineer or a musician of some kind.

The musical thread is strongggg.

Over the past few weeks I have been curating an epic tribal playlist for my enchanted party.

At some points I danced, and at other points I didn’t, but I always had one eye on the dance floor making sure everyone was feeling the magick woven into the “set”. The music cut out at one point and I nearly lost my mind 🤯

Tomorrow I’ll head to a friends new studio to dance with other sisters and Friday will be going through a sensual embodiment dance.

Dance is life…. 👯‍♀️💃

If you’d like to journey deeper into a more sensual expression practice, I highly encourage you to come along to this Fridays event.

Fri 23rd June

My heart continues to feel overwhelmed with the amount of love, joy and Magick that was felt over the weekend at my Enchanted Forest party.

Everyone turned it UP with their outfits🧚‍♀️

The vibe was so warm and welcoming for those who knew one another and those who didn’t know anyone.

My heart grew and stretched beyond its capacity and even had sound effects as it was growing throughout the night “owwwwww” 😂

Thank you from the bottom of my heart everyone who came! It wouldn’t have been the same without you.
