Lesson 2546. The Kindness of Others. Have you wondered why there are so many Jacaranda trees in the Shire?

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much of what we see around us began with a simple act of kindness.

In the 1950s, Matron Irene Haxton from the Jacaranda Maternity Hospital in Woolooware gifted every new mother a jacaranda seedling to plant at home. A quiet, beautiful gesture that has now coloured the Sutherland Shire in shades of purple each spring.

Those trees stand as living reminders of the kindness of others.

Acts of care that ripple through time, touching lives long after the hands that began them have moved on.

Kindness doesn’t always make a sound.
Sometimes it just blooms. Quietly, faithfully, year after year.

Seeing this post today has really effected me

I have been in Gymea for 3.5 years now and Mel and Jack and the team have been amazing. I have formed a beautiful friendship with them all.

I think they have been have for 13 years. It is a sign of the times.

Having Bricks and mortar buildings is expensive and getting more and more expensive.

Decrease Drinking: The Space Between the Glasses

Sam came to me and said, “I’m not an alcoholic. I just drink more than I want to.”

We began to explore what was really happening between those glasses. The stress, the pressure, the habit of needing to switch off. Through hypnotherapy, we worked with his subconscious to create new ways of unwinding that didn’t rely on a drink.

On his follow up appointment Sam said, “I still go out. I still relax. But now I choose when I drink. It doesn’t control me. I am not drinking at home during the week. Only when I go out”

Freedom often begins with awareness.

If you’re ready to change your relationship with alcohol, it can start gently, one session at a time. One drink at a time. One day at a time.

Lesson 2543. Releasing the Burden. Becoming the Student.

There comes a time when holding it all together begins to feel heavy.
When you’ve been the teacher, the guide, the strong one for so long that you forget what it feels like to simply receive.

Releasing the burden isn’t about giving up. It’s about trusting that you don’t need to carry everything alone.
It’s allowing yourself to step back, to soften, and to be held.

Becoming the student again can be one of the most empowering things you do.
It invites humility, curiosity, and rest. It reminds you that growth is a shared experience, not a solitary one.

When you release, others are given permission to rise.
When you rest, you create space for renewal.
When you receive, you remember how to give from fullness, not exhaustion.

Depression: Remembering the Light

He sat quietly in the chair and said, “I just feel flat. Like the colour has gone out of everything.”

Depression can make the world feel small and grey. Through hypnotherapy, we began reconnecting him with moments that once brought light . The sound of the ocean, his daughter’s laughter, the feeling of sun on his skin.

Each week the colours returned, not all at once, but in gentle shades.

Healing isn’t about pretending to be happy. It’s about remembering how to feel again.

If you’re ready to rediscover your light, I’m here to help you find your way back.

Confidence: Finding Your Voice Again

When Lisa first came in, she spoke softly, almost apologetically. “I don’t want to take up space, I am really not that important.” she said.

Through hypnotherapy, we uncovered the old beliefs that had silenced her. The quiet stories that told her she wasn’t enough. Each session helped her rebuild that inner foundation.

One day she laughed and said, “I told my boss what I actually think, and it felt good.”

Confidence isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you already are.

If you’ve forgotten the sound of your own voice, hypnotherapy can help you find it again.

Lesson 2540 Be the Apple.

We are all born as apples. Whole, unique, complete.

Then life begins to shape us.

People tell us who we should be, how we should act, what we should believe.
Be a little sweeter, a little softer, a little less of this and more of that.
And slowly, piece by piece, we start trimming parts of ourselves away.

Before long, we’ve become fruit salad.

A blend of everyone else’s flavours, everyone else’s expectations.
We forget what we truly tasted like.

But here’s the thing. We were never meant to be fruit salad.
We were always meant to be the apple.
Whole, real, unapologetic.

So maybe the work isn’t about becoming something new,
but remembering who we were before the world told us who to be.
Be the apple. Always.

If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost touch with who you are,
hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with your original self.
The one who knows, trusts, and feels at peace.
Book a session and start coming home to you.

BE THE APPLE.

Finding Calm Again.

Michelle came to me after years of living in a constant state of alert. The smallest thing would send her heart racing. A message from her boss, a knock at the door, a moment of quiet.

During our first session, she said, “I just want to feel normal again.”

Through hypnotherapy we began to rewire that automatic response. We worked with the subconscious to teach her body that she was safe.

Slowly, she began to sleep better. She started noticing the warmth of her morning tea instead of the racing of her mind.

It wasn’t overnight. But it was steady.

Now Michelle tells me, “I didn’t even realise how much peace was possible.”

Sometimes the healing begins in the quietest moments, when the mind finally allows the body to breathe.

If this story feels familiar, know that change is possible. It begins with a single conversation.

Lesson 2537. It was the worst of times

Ahh, eight years ago today.

Eight years ago my whole life changed, for all the wrong reasons.

There were promises of great and wonderful things to come.

I was completing a course and had been away from home for fifteen days. I now know this was all part of the plan.

Away from the love and support of my husband and family.

Surrounded by people who were all searching for something. Community. Love. Belonging.

And I found those things, or so I thought. I was told everything I wanted and needed to hear at the time.

Then I was asked to do a video to share my experience. I was told I had been hand picked. That I was special.

They told me this video was different. This one would be filmed with lights and care, not like the others that everyone took part in at the end of the course. It would be filmed at lunch time

I believed them. I thought I was about to be seen. Finally after all these years. No I was just a marketing tool.

But over the next six months, my life went from feeling full to completely falling apart.

Then one day, I woke up.
I stood up.
And I said, no more.

All the things I had been told, all the tricks that had been used to manipulate me, I began to see them for what they were.

I was exhausted.
I was done.
And I said no more.

Even after that, they tried to pull me back in.

But this became one of the hardest and best boundaries I’ve ever put in place.

From that moment on, I made a promise to myself:
Never again will I give my personal power or my agency away.

“They’ll tell you it’s a cult,” someone once said. “But it’s a cult of happy people — why wouldn’t you join?”

Let me tell you — the people in that cult weren’t happy. They were broken, and broke.

I walked away, and I have never looked back.

Today I honour the woman who finally said no.

Lesson 2536 Stopping to Smell the Roses

Time to stop.
Time to slow down.

So grateful for my beautiful lifelong friend for bringing me away to her incredible home away from home.

This weekend away was booked, cancelled, and then rebooked, and it came at exactly the right time.

After everything September and October brought, I just needed a small escape. Because when you’re at home, no matter what you do, you don’t truly rest—there’s always something waiting to be done.

Not here. Today I chatted with the friendly kangaroos, re-uprighted Shawn the sheep, and literally stopped to smell the roses. Each one had its own scent, each colour its own story.

I sat in the spa for an hour, then on the deck watching the sunset, eating cheese and biscuits.

Tomorrow will be a day of not much more than today.

Today I stopped to smell the roses and admire the starry sky.
Today life slowed down.
Today I am grateful for all that I have.

Lesson 2534. A Safe Space to Be You.

Alasana began as a simple idea in 2016, to create a space where people could just be.
Where movement met stillness, where breath softened the noise, and where you could reconnect with yourself without expectation or judgment.

Over time, it’s become a place of real connection.

A place to land when life feels full, to move when energy calls, to rest when the world asks too much.

Through yoga, hypnotherapy, and shared experiences, we explore what it means to live with presence and compassion in this fast world.

We talk about letting go, belonging, self-worth, trust, and healing. Not as pipe dreams, but as lived experiences. Some days were are really good at it. Other days we need more practice.

Alasana is not about perfection, it’s about people. It's about progress.

It’s about coming home to yourself, in your own time and your own way.

ALASANA a safe space to be you®

Lesson 2533. Two Hundred Days.

Two hundred days sober today.

I had my first drink at fourteen. It became a thread that wove through my teenage years and into my late 50s.

Through celebrations, heartbreaks, stress, and survival and also into everyday life. For so long, it felt like a part of who I was. Something that helped me relax, belong, cope.

But somewhere along the way, I realised it was quietly taking from me too. My peace. My presence. My clarity.

Two hundred days ago, I closed the door on that chapter. Not with drama, not with shame, no big announcement, just with a deep knowing that I didn’t want to live half-awake anymore.

I look back now and feel such gratitude that I stopped when I did. Especially with everything that has happened in these past months. I needed to be clear, steady, strong. I needed to face things with both feet on the ground and both eyes open. (Some days only 1)

Not drinking has given me something I didn’t even know I was missing, clarity in who I am. I can see myself again. Feel myself again. Trust myself again.

It’s not always easy, but it’s honest. And that honesty feels like freedom.
