Friends!! I’d love to take a moment for what’s coming up this year… To honour the astounding importance of timing - both in the water and in life - and to talk about dreams coming alive!!

This year already feels so expansive (thanks incoming fire horse), and it’s because last year I sat in deep reflection about what I was creating and why… What kept surfacing for me was loud and simple:

…”Be the change you want to see in the world”... (Thanks Ghandi)

I want to live in a world where we value presence, connection and play! Where laughs and memories are the currency we chase. And I want YOU to join me there!

I’ve been breathing life into some big dreams behind the scenes and this year they’re in FULL BLOOM BABY !!

Talk about dreams coming true. The last few years Thrive retreats have been quietly brewing, and this year they are BURSTING to life and I am over-the-moon-happy-dance-excited about it!

Expect HEAPS of ocean time, belly laughs, deep breaths, flirting with comfort zones, and those sneaky moments where you suddenly remember who the heck you are and what you’re here for (those are my fave!)

If you’ve been craving space to reset, reconnect, and do something just for you — consider this your friendly nudge. We’ve got epic workshops, programs and retreats happening near and far this year - so you can find the one that fits just right!

Ohhhh I’m so excited to get this party started!! The 8-Week Learn to Surf journey is back, spots are already filling, and I’m buzzing to share this journey and introduce the next crew to this amazing community.

If learning to dance on the waves has been on your bucket list for a while, and you love to nerd out on all the personal development goodies — this is your vibe.

One of the very first conversations I have with the women I coach is about the dance between fear, confidence, and safety in the nervous system! … You simply can’t take on new information if your nervous system is fried and you’re in a survival state.

So… First we chat… Understanding and predictability goes a long way when you’re miles outside your comfort zone! We discuss your fears and concerns, practise the moves on the sand, and play with alternatives to any movements that don’t feel right. To start, you lie on the board and simply breathe… Come back into your body and feel the board beneath you… There’s time to ask questions, to relax, and of course, to laugh…

This is where the seeds of confidence bloom… Where “I don’t think I can do that” slowly becomes “Ohhh… I get it now.”

We practise on the sand until there’s already familiarity in your body and you feel ready to take to the water. We take the time to prioritise solid foundations and movement patterns that will support you to dance on the waves well into your twilight years. 🌊✨

Have you ever thought…

“I’d love to surf BUT…” 😬

(Insert fear, nerves, busy life, self-doubt, body image stories, or all of the above.)

Our next 8-week women’s program kicks off Friday Feb 27, and it’s designed to take you on a journey from curious but nervous to confident and thriving — step by step, wave by wave.

This is absolutely not your everyday learn to surf program… We laugh, we cry, we grow together! We work on mindset, somatic movement therapy, big goals, big stressors, and what’s stopping you from having it all… In the waves, and in the world!
No pressure. No rush. Genuine support, solid foundations, an epic community, and SO much fun along the way. I’ll teach you everything you need to know — You just need to show up.

I promise you can!! 🌊💛

Did you know that jellyfish don’t have a brain, heart, or bones — yet they’ve survived on Earth for over 500 million years. Gentle, ancient, and wildly resilient.

That wave just high fived me in the face!! 🤣🤣

We've all been there...

For many, today is a celebration.

For many others, it carries grief, loss, and a history that still lives in the bones of this land, the very waterways & landscapes that we celebrate upon.

This land was never empty. It has always been held, sung, walked, cared for. Long before borders, flags, or paperwork, there was connection and reciprocity. A kinship that continues, and one that we are all responsible for while we’re here.

Every celebration is a story we choose to tell.

And every story is shaped by the land it comes from.

To me, today is about listening.
Remembering that we all come from the land, and one day return to it.

I acknowledge the original custodians of this land, who have cared for her for aeons, and whose connection to Country continues.

I consider myself incredibly lucky to walk here.
To learn from her.
To care for her while I’m passing through.

Moving forward, my hope for this day is that it may invite curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to keep learning.

Always was, always will be 🤍

Quick reminder: you don’t need to do it all, be perfect, or even get out of your PJs to have a magical day. Breathe deep, smile big, move a little, and step outside - that’s enough. And if today is not your day, guess what, tomorrow is almost here and your future self is on fire! 🔥

Lessons from Mama Ocean… PATIENCE

I love the way she shows up so unapologetically! She doesn’t care for the waves you wanted today. Some days she's cranky, some days she’s sparkly and playful, others she has an unwavering calm that simply holds you… There will be days the waves carry you like a magic carpet, and others where they crash and rattle you, testing your balance, and reminding you that growth doesn’t come from comfort.

One of the many things Mama Ocean teaches us is the power of surrender. Let’s be honest, fighting against the natural flow of the elements (or life), however chaotic, is usually more tiresome than helpful.
Easier said than done of course, but sometimes the smoothest way through is to breathe, soften, and move with the turbulence instead of against it. Every wave — the calm, the chaotic, the unexpected — holds a lesson about trust, patience, resilience, and the beauty of being fully present… That no two waves (or moments in life) are the same, and yes, this too shall pass…

The more waves we ride, the more we realise something much bigger is at play: We develop the courage to rise after a fall (and hopefully laugh along the way), the patience to wait for the right moment, and the wisdom to know that even in the hairy moments, we are exactly where we need to be.

So dance with the waves. Trust the ride. And know that every crash and every lift, is shaping you into the version of you who truly thrives.

THIS!!!! One of those ‘pinch me’ moments that make my soul tingle and my heart explode!! 💛

Sandy toes, salty hair, giant hugs, and belly laughs that make everything jiggle! These girls trusted me with their learn to surf journey, and now I get to call them my mates! There’s nothing more special than paddling out to find a bunch of women who learnt to surf together, cheering each other on and giggling like school girls.

It’s not just the party waves and surf trips, but the coffee dates, the birthday celebrations, group chat banter, hugs, advice, endless support and the special moments in between that make me question how I got to be so damn lucky!!

This photo is on my vision board, and is exactly why I do what I do - for you! The women who have families and careers and commitments like the rest of us, but who show up for themselves, cheer each other on, take the waves, take the wipeouts, and somehow make it all look like pure chaotic magic!

Thrive isn’t perfect. It’s messy, playful, whirlwind… but it delivers beyond imagination and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Confidence!! … Take a leaf out of Mama Ocean’s book!

She show’s up every single day, unapologetically, and exactly how she’s feeling at the time - Big, small, choppy, glassy … With zero F* ’s given for the conditions any of us are hoping for! She's doing her dance whether we decide to join her or not!

Ride with intention, paddle like you mean it, lean into the wobbles, and remember… even if you faceplant, you’re still one step closer to dancing with on the waves like a mermaid! 🧜‍♀️

Did you know starfish can regrow their arms? They are basically tiny ocean superheroes reminding us it’s never too late to hit refresh. Lost a limb? Or a little piece of your sparkle? No worries - grow it back, stronger, sassier, and shinier than ever.
