Clients & friends.

I have been in a space of deep introspection over the last few months, feeling into services I offer and how I wish to move forward.

I am taking a step away from 1:1 Reiki + Massage treatments.

The intention of this time is to regroup and rest.

I want to simplify my life even more, to sing, paint, dance and finish my studies.

I am unsure of what this time away will be, and for the first time in what seems like a long time …

I am at peace with not knowing.

My body is needing to pause, to rest.

So, I must listen.

For those with gift vouchers or wish to be in touch regarding services,
please contact me via email:

Into the cocoon I go.

“you can let it go”

Let it all go …

The shame
Fear
The desire to control
To know
Let go of the fear
The constant chatter of the mind
Let go of concern
Of any doubt that’s blocking your flow
Let go of your worry
That you won’t have enough
That the world is not safe
That you are alone

Just let it go
Drop it
Put it down

And when you do
Go towards that place
The place deep within you
The place that knows

And listen.

Meditative Movement.

Sunday 19th March, 2023.

Two sisters, from When East Meets West and Joanne Panetta from come together to co-create this journey.

We invite you lean into self-enquiry, to recognise, release, relearn and reflect through the healing modalities of meditation, somatic movement, dance, and sound combined with cacao; but most of all, to have fun, let go and connect.

We begin this three-hour journey with an introduction to cacao, acknowledging ourselves, each other, the land, and this heart opening medicine.

We then unravel the body, mind, and soul, through dance, yoga, sound, meditation, and breath.

We slow things down and invite you to rest, reflecting on the experience through a guided sound journey with both vocal and instrumental expression.

Connect with us and community; as we dive deep, finding balance within all aspects of self – mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Tickets are limited.
Head to the link in bio to secure your place.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Universal life energy.

It’s known and recognised around the world as a subtle energy, presented as a force that governs all life.

Over my time as an energetic practitioner, I have come to acknowledge and understand the different threads from culture to culture.

Beliefs, rituals, and ceremonial practices differentiate, taking time to understand and acknowledge these teachings, offers an opportunity to appreciate the commonality of energy that underlies them all.

I am humbled by those around me, the brave ones who are willing to have a look at what’s going on deep inside.

I hold space, not to fix, judge or make people feel inadequate, not to impact the outcome or influence what must be done next, but to sit quietly beside them; providing gentle, compassionate support, without adding more fear to what’s happening or feed further shame.

We are all walking this path of healing, rediscovering what it means to crack open, trust in the process and let go.

It’s certainly not an easy path to walk, but deep down we all know that it’s worth it.

If you were to look back at the person you are becoming,

What would you say to yourself?

Would you express how proud you are of your courage?

Would you acknowledge bravery, and how much it takes to unlearn and relearn ways of being in the world?

Would you applaud yourself for standing firm in truth, for not giving up on what safety, purpose, freedom mean to you?

Would you notice that each day your intention is to become better than who you were yesterday, that you are doing your best?

Would you shed light on your kindness, your loving heart … ?

Would you remind yourself that your place in the world matters, that you are needed?

That the hearts of those around you feel the love inside, that it helps when your around.

Would you encourage yourself to understand the person you are is whole, open, and full of life, of prana?

That your life is here to weave a new web in the world.

One that serves us all.

When you look at the person reflecting back, acknowledge your place.

After fails, losses, and falls, the gift of breaking has led you here.

It’s been messy, wild, but so beautiful too.

So much of who you thought you were, needed to be lost; a reunion with your true self required all of this to unfold.

This is who you are becoming, this is who you are.

I tend to feel overwhelmed and stretched out towards the end of the year …

It’s this felt sense that times “running” away from me.

I notice this for most people, the pressure to get it all done before Christmas, then planting seeds for the New Year begins, it’s all very fast.

This future focused planning triggers anxiety, moving us further away from presence.

So, with that in mind, I felt the call to offer a special for November -

Reiki 60 minutes – Full price $90.00, special $60.00
Healing Massage – Full price $180.00, special $99.00

My intention is to help you slow down, regulate, and find your centre.

I provide a holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

I work with the body to help transmute dense energy, creating more room for you to flow.

Treatments are tailored to your individual needs and concerns.

I rest patiently for instruction from within.

Gently finding grace, unbinding myself from fear.

The unknown is looking back at me, waiting for me to take the brave step forward.

I notice my comfort zones, safety nets and pockets of “certainty” created to keep me secure …

Yes, I desire to stay here a little longer.

For I am tired and unsure.

I don’t feel quite ready to work at it.

So, for now, I grant myself permission to go gently.

I stay grounded, there is no need to rush.

I come back to trust.

Trusting that whatever is happening, is simply happening …

There is so much growth here, so much expansion.

Just as the roots beneath and around me continue to spread and stretch, I lean into knowing that I too, will grow and reach forward when it is time.

For now, I rest.

I close my eyes and give myself permission to be here.

🍂

If you resonate with the words above, I encourage you to take your time.

Keep it simple, be gentle.

You have permission to slow down.

You don’t always have to work at it.

Nature takes time to rest and regroup, and so can you.

I have been inquiring lately about how healthy our society is.

We spend most of our time and energy addicted to stimulants and distractions that are not sustainable to our health and well-being, yet we continue to participate … why?

We indulge in short term pleasures to help settle feelings of discomfort; we haven’t been taught that its normal to feel or given the space to grieve and slow down when life knocks us around.

We have been trained to get on with it, keep going, keep consuming.

Although we are collectively waking up, most are still asleep.
Driven by behaviours and daily practices that are designed to keep them stuck in suffering and dependant on unhealthy habits, and it’s not necessarily all their fault.

Yes, it’s a choice, one we all make … but the distractions out in the world are here to keep us lost and disconnected from ourselves, community, nature and the knowing that what we are here to experience in this life is far deeper, far greater than what is being presented to us as a healthy model to live by.

Take a moment to pause.

Can you reflect on behaviours and choices you are making each day that “support” you?

Are they sustainable?

They might feel nice in the moment, they might alleviate some form of pain you are in, but long-term results are not fulfilled here ... and we know it.

It’s time to put OUR healing back in OUR hands.

Time to start calving out space to truly feel into our body, observe the thinking mind, give room to be real in what we are feeling.

It is possible for us to get well and find balance.

First, we must become aware of what’s preventing us from getting there; second, we must make committed, conscious choices that reflect the life we want to create.

If what you are doing isn’t working and you need support, I’m here.

I have been working closely with clients, teaching them about the Vagus Nerve and how to regulate our nervous system from sympathetic (fight/flight) into parasympathetic (rest/digest).

By developing our awareness and tuning into our bodies, we can approach distress, anxiety and overwhelm from a centred place.

Always know your body and the internal network available, no matter what is happening outside of you.

My intention is to teach you how to become conscious of your ability to heal yourself.

The Vagus Nerve is a teacher.

You are the medicine.

Alignment ...

Described as something arranged in a straight line or correct position.

During yin yoga, we were encouraged to understand that although the postures were relatively “easy”, that the alignment we were seeking wasn’t necessarily required from the shape we created and how it “looked” …

But from feeling it within the body and knowing it through a “felt” sense that it was the correct position for us individually, at that moment.

It dawned on me that most of what I have been trying to create that is in “alignment” with my life, was mainly based on how I perceived it to be, how I wanted it to look, how organised, tidy, and structured I desired to see it …

I haven’t been practicing what it means to “feel” aligned.

Feeling our experiences brings us straight into presence, into the now.

The more we meet ourselves here, the deeper our practice becomes.

I encourage you to develop awareness regarding what alignment not only looks like, but what it would feel like.

What would it FEEL like in your body, nervous system, and mind to create a life that is in full alignment?
