The Grief Circle: A Space for Collective Healing

A Grief Circle is a dedicated sanctuary for sharing the stories of our losses within a supportive community. The ceremony provides a gentle container for deep emotion. My hope is to offer a connection to something greater—whatever that may mean to you—allowing sorrow to be met with kindness, integration, and the warmth of being held in Love.

We are not meant to carry our burdens alone. There is a transformative power in being witnessed, and I believe we find our way through grief most effectively in circles. You will find a warm welcome and a “brave space.” While “safety” is relative, we strive for a space where vulnerability is honored as a gift.

Through gentle ritual, rhythm, and silence, we explore the territory of grief together. Participation is always by invitation, never by obligation. By being present for ourselves and one another, we often find that expressed grief reveals its true nature: a profound form of love. Here, grief is not just a burden, but the very medicine that brings us home to ourselves.

These circles will include silent creative time, sound healing and a sharing circle.

Please allow two hours.

Cost is $35 and includes nibbles, tea and creative supplies

Please bring a journal and flowers/foliage from your garden to create a centre piece.

It takes a village ❤️

When I had my first born, I was blessed with a wonderful mothers group. A bunch of women who did a lot together. Weekly catch ups, weekly music classes, celebrated our children’s birthdays and us Mummas birthdays. It was a sweet time.

After I had a baby loss, a few of us went to see Deva Premal in concert. It was such a vulnerable time but being with these women made me feel so held and supported.

Today, I received the news that one of those precious women passed away. I’m spending this afternoon reminiscing about how special friends made those first few years of motherhood. I was a single Mum and these women helped make those years much sweeter.

Kellie, thank you for being you and for being part of my village when I needed it the most. Thinking of your daughters during this tough time 💔

My upcoming circles have been created and are ready for you to book in!! Links in my bio. If you’d like a private circle, send me a message to organise.

My offerings are:

✨ The Seeding Ritual - Imagine if you could go back to the time when you bled (menstruation) for the very first time… The Seeding Ritual, beautifully takes you back to this moment. What were the words you wish you heard? How do you wish you were celebrated? Come and spend a few of hours tending to this part of you. The younger you who deserved to be celebrated.

✨ First Moon Circle - First Moon Circles are playful and holistic menstrual education workshops which prepare, educate, and celebrate children aged 9-12 at a very important time of their lives. This circle is for 3 hours. The first two with myself and the girls and the last hour with you, their loved one celebrating and honoring them.

This post is for all the Mummas carrying their baby in a breech presentation. I know there’s a few of you. What do I know about breech… I’ve supported a woman as her doula who had a natural vaginal breech birth, my baby was breech till 37 weeks and I’m a certified Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner. Yes do the spinning babies exercises but try not to stress yourself out about it. Do what you can, let go of the rest xx

Farewell 2025

2025 has been a busy one. I’ve massaged many of you, heard your stories, your pregnancy news, your losses, your fears and joys. It’s such a pleasure walking this path with you. Thank you trusting me with your body, your tears and celebrations. Thank you for referring me to your family and friends.

I also learnt to play crystal singing bowls, became a Primary Ethics teacher and completed one year of teaching/facilitating stage 1 at my kids school. I attended Gypsy’s Ceremonial Cacao and Facilitator Retreat and also sat next to her lifeless body at her farewell/funeral. I held my first The Seeding ritual passed onto me by Gypsy and co hosted a day retreat with .with.liz. I massaged at retreats and held a couple of . I celebrated 19 years of massaging.

Personally, my eldest turned 18, started driving his own car and has been in his first relationship for 11 months. My youngest started kindergarten and we navigated her selecting talking with a psychologist. My middle boys turned 8 finished year 2.. Ethan went to Japan with his Dad and Oliver went on a cruise with his Mum. We celebrated my partner turning 50. We travelled to The Whitsundays with our children, swam at Whitehaven Beach and flew over the Heart Reef.

I am grateful for this year and look forward to 2026. May it be a good one for you and I and humanity.

Happy New Year xx

Birth of my second son eight years ago. My most challenging pregnancy and labour. I birthed him in the water, placing my hands down and delivering him myself. This boy shook my world up and eight years later, I’m left with this absolute lover of life, the most joyful child who I love beyond words. Happy Birthday Ethan. Thank you for choosing me ❤️

Today I visited a new Mumma I’ve massaged and supported since her first trimester. Was so lovely to meet her son! The boy I’ve been feeling inside for months.

It’s always such an honor to sit with new parents and hear their birth story.

This woman started out like most of us knowing not much but found her village and educated herself and the result was a beautiful, empowering birth.

Congratulations guys xx
