Alot of mixed feelings swell within me as I leave the Colac studio today..

Excitement, sadness, relief, reflection and a heart full of gratitude.

The Temple of Bliss in Colac has officially closed its doors 💚🙏💚

Was so good to see so many of you over the last few weeks for a treatment and a big hug! Be INjoy over the summer, try not to sweat the small stuff & remember to relish in the magic & simplicity found in each & every moment of this beautyfilled life 🌊

It really has been such an honour to serve this community over the years, thanks for everything you've taught me & helping me to grow this business from a little seed that sprouted in my lounge room with a table setup by the fire into a studio that held nearly 1000 heart & hands healing sessions 🌿

I'll be opening up with a limited capacity in February.. not exactly sure where yet!
Stay connected for updates x

Last minute cancellation!

I have one space left..
For a 2hr RESET session next week-
Monday November 24th @ 3pm.

Are you tired, burnt out or feeling overwhelmed?
This time of the year gets intense..
(Mm, not to mention were on the midst of mercury retrograde, plus the dark moon, Venus, Lilith & Uranus all cosmically aligning in SCORPIO - right noww!)

But hey, whatever you get floating that's killing the vibe and straining your batteries right now.. I got you 🫶

Your 2hr reset package could be a Lomi Lomi healing massage, melting layers of stress and tension from the body with soothing, rhythmic full body strokes, then closing your session with a reiki attunement to integrate the subtle shifts into your biofield.

Or it might be an Ayurvedic foot spa with mineral salts, accompanied by a cacao ceremony to release the bad juju and call in some good stuff, backed by a hot stones treatment or some cupping therapy.

Or maybe you just wanna melt into a pool of bliss for a while with a full body relaxation massage finished with a delicious head & scalp treatment & Gua Sha facial.. leaving you feeling nurtured, nourished and revitalised for life!

If you're feeling the call..
Send me a DM.
Let's talk about what offerings would be best suited to your needs.
I'd love to hold a space for you to reset and recharge 💚🙏

Hello my loves 🌼💚

It's been a hot minute since I jumped on here to share what's been moving in my world.. as some of you knowww I went to the Central Desert in October and had such a rich, plentiful & vibrant experience offering body love sessions to the participants @ a 5Rhythms Dance immersion.

To say this time away changed me, spending everyday living as a village with 55 other women, doing dishes together, sleeping under the stars, communing with storm & sunrise, sharing stories by the fire every evening and connecting with my body, nervous system, with country and culture in a way I never new possible.. is an atrocious understatement 🙃

Perhaps that's why I haven't yet tried to articulate the journey much.

Upon landing, I knew some thing needed to change. I felt too tight inside my skin. Stretched. Anxious. Like somehow the old shape of me that used to fit inside my home, work and lifestyle had grown itchy.. the winds of growth & change were alive inside and beating down the walls of my old identity.

That being said, i'm not exactly sure what the future holds.. except that unschooling myself and my daughter is my priority. She is 7 and has been (rather unwillingly) going to school part time this year, so that I could work.

And although I'm so incredibly grateful for this temple - The Temple Of Bliss which has held me, supported my family & has provided a safe haven for so many who needed a place to retreat.. it is time to let it go.
So that I can create space for my daughter, home and passions to truly thrive.

I'll still be working in Colac until Thursday 11th December - then the Temple doors will close 🙏

There's still a few spots left if you wanna pop in for a treatment over the next few weeks..
Id love to see you and have a hug before the year is out.

I really am so grateful for each and every one of you that has ever set foot inside these walls.. your story, body, ailments and willingness to trust me have shaped me into the woman, mother, sister & space holder that I am today. I have learnt soo much over the years of serving this community - thank you for teaching me about compassion, boundaries, attunement, awareness and the profound healing nature of conscious touch!
What an absolute gift! 💚

With warmth & blessings as we shed our old skins, keep letting go as we follow the snake towards the tail end of the year.. 🐍

Yes. It's true.

Chiron is currently in opposition to the sun.
Highlighting all of our sacred wounds and deepest traumas around relating, while today we transit through the dark side of the moon AND Pluto aka "Lord of the Underworld" stations direct in Aquarius for the first time in over 200 years..

But

It's gonna be okay folks.

Because I have a last minute availability for Reiki/Massage this Wednesday 22nd October @ 3.30pm 🤣

This is your daily reminder to stay calm and take some time out to navigate the absolute s**t storm that the celestial realms are brewing up.

And if you need some deep rest, introspection time, body recovery, cellular healing..
Reach out.

**Glass Fire Cupping & Fresha Booking Update!

Hey beautiful humanssssss!
It's a pleasure to be writing to you at this time, hope this message finds you well as we transition into the sun filled season of SPRING!🌼🌱 With a holistic focus on the aspects of - Cleanse, Renewal, Rebirth 🌀

Our bodies are naturally BRILLIANT at healing & rebuilding. Every single cell in the human body is rebuilt every seven years.. from the dense cells in your skeletal structure to the soft tissues on your face, the vaginal wall, ovaries, your finger nails, organs, glands and everything in between!

Too assist our bodies in this natural, cyclical process of cleansing & rejuvenating it's important to be nourishing the body with organic seasonal foods, alkalising herbs, clean filtered or fresh spring water, moving, waking and sleeping in alignment with the sun cycles and doing practices like yoga, breathwork and meditation to help our bodies, mind and soul stay steady during times of turbulence and change - whilst encouraging detoxification and cleansing the organs, tissues and different energetic pathways.

Another incredible practice that can assist with clearing out METABOLIC WASTE during this season is CUPPING therapy.
Cupping is an ancient oriental folk medicine and has been practiced within households across China, Japan and Sth East Asia for thousands of years!
Cupping is well known as a treatment for pain, tightness & discomfort in the muscles & soft tissues - as well as improving mobility, relieving symptoms of the common cough, cold, flu, & headaches by stimulating lymphatic drainage, improving the circulatory system, moving stagnant QI & eliminating waste products and built up toxins.
Cupping therapy also treats with a wide range of ailments such as sciatica, frozen shoulder, lower back pain, chronic fatigue & fibromyalgia - just to name a few.

I'm in the process of updating the Fresha Booking App at the moment, to incorporate this wonderful therapy into my treatments as well as making upgrades to my current offerings 💕

If you're already booked in for a session don't worry - these changes won't affect your current booking.
Just be mindful that moving forwards there will be changes made to integrate the skills I've recently learnt into current offerings, including names, prices and duration.

If you're confused about what style of treatment is going to be best for your bodies needs, or have any questions about cupping..
Get in touch! Let's do a phone consult to discuss the options available 🙏☺️

With warmth & Seasons Blessings,
Tara 🌸

Infusion has begun..

Alchemy 🌿🌘
Sun & Moon.
Light & Dark.
Day & Night.

These jars are filled with the pure, golden elixir of organic Australian oils & will sit amongst the fruit trees in my orchard for the next three moon cycles.. absorbing the infrared rays of each and every sun rise.. the melodic morning song of the rosellas and grey strike thrush.
Infused with the vibrant, colourful, medicinal, and spiritual essence of lovingly hand-picked flowers and herbs. Creating a potent concoction of UV light, flower essence, rich fragrance and deep hydration to nourish & nurture your skin. While inviting you back into harmony & resonance with the ecosystem that surrounds you.

Where & how are your current skincare products made? What ingredients are in them?

Your skin is the largest organ of the body..
And is covered with pores..

Which basically makes us giant sponges 🙃

What are you feeding into your body via the skin? Is it natural, revitalising, nourishing, protective & life enhancing?
Or factory made, sterile, chemical & void of life force energy?

I only use pure, organic, herbal infused oils -
in the studio and at home.
These babies will be bottled in three moons time & a limited supply will be available at markets & online 💞

So exciteddddd to share..

I'll be stepping out of the studio this October.

And taking the Temple Of Bliss to the Central Desert!! Feeling so grateful for the opportunity to serve a community of dancers & wild, embodied women @ this year's GROUNDED event!

If you haven't heard yet, Grounded is a week long immersion into 5 Rhythms and Eco Somatics on Eastern Arrernte Country.

This is a dream come trueeeee!
Three of my biggest passions all smooshed up into one big ball of BLISS 💚
I'll be dancing my little pants off everyday - offering healing touch & holistic bodywork therapy to my fellow dancers AND incorporating local, indigenous plants from the region with a beautiful range of oils & balms made @ Akeyulerre Healing Centre!!

All while outside under a gazebo..
bare feet deeply rooted in the soft red, desert sand..

I simply cannot wait ###
