Assisting women to manage stress & burn out using mind-body practices & principles of yoga therapy. I teach stressed and burnt out women the art of ‘slow flow’.

Yoga therapy is an empowering self-care system that optimises your health and wellbeing. Using a therapeutic approach to your health and self-care, the principles and techniques of the yoga-mind-body systems help to manage a range of health and wellbeing conditions. We work together toward the management of your overall well being, recovery or rehabilitation, developing a wellness program specifically designed for you, using yoga as medicine.

Sustainable transformation is built with solid foundations.

Rushing into change without creating safety is like building on sand. It might hold for a while, but it won’t last.

This is why I teach slowing down, grounding into daily rituals, and giving the body time to trust the process. Safety first - always. Because safety is what allows transformation to take root.

🌿 This is the foundation of all my work, whether in yoga, sound healing, or Emmett Therapy. If you’d like to experience how these practices create safety for your body to shift, I’d love to welcome you to a session.

In my work I'm always reminded of how much our bodies hold and how much they know.

They carry the load when we’re overwhelmed.
They signal when something’s off, long before we notice it mentally.
And they soften when they feel safe.

In my classes, we work from that place.

We move gently. We pay attention. We start to build trust again with our own rhythm.

If that feels like something you’ve been craving, we begin again on 21 October.

There are a few different class styles to choose from, beginner, slow flow, stronger options too. But most of all, they’re grounded, personal, and steady.

Classes are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings 10am and Tuesday/ Wednesday 6pm

$27 per class for 6 classes or $30 drop drop in price. Only 6 spots in each class. Dm your email address if you’d love to join us.

What would it feel like to give yourself one solid hour a week: to move, to breathe, to just be?

No screens. No rush. No demands.
Just space to unwind and reconnect.

Our Term 4 yoga classes begin 21 October, and this is your invitation to make a little room in your week just for you.

We practise in a small group setting (max 6), so you’ll always get support and personal guidance, whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been coming for years.

If you’re thinking of joining us, reach out soon. Most of the classes fill quickly, and payment secures your spot.

You’re very welcome to start with a casual class if you’re unsure, but if you already know you want a place, I’d recommend booking in sooner rather than later.

Just as life begins to flow, suddenly you’re tired, sick, or burned out - sound familiar?

It’s not bad luck, and it’s not weakness. It’s your nervous system pulling the brakes.

When growth feels too big or too fast, your body chooses safety over expansion.

It does this automatically, without you even realising.
The path forward isn’t to push harder - it’s to help your body feel safe in change. Because when your nervous system feels supported, your momentum can finally carry you forward in a sustainable way.

Lasting transformation has a rhythm - and it begins in the body, not the mind.

In the Mind+Body-Freedom method, we move through three essential stages:

🌿 Recognise what’s really happening beneath the surface.
🌿 Release what no longer serves - old tension, old stories, old patterns.
🌿 Repattern with new rhythms and actions that feel aligned and sustainable.

When we take this path, change isn’t about fighting ourselves - it’s about moving with our own wisdom.

🌿 If you’d like to explore this three-stage process in your own life, I’d love to invite you to a private consultation. Together we’ll create a simple, sustainable practice that honours your body and your goals.

Self-sabotage doesn’t always look dramatic - sometimes it’s hiding in the small, everyday ways we hold ourselves back.

* It’s the endless procrastination. It’s saying yes when you’re already stretched thin.
*It’s chasing perfection and never letting yourself rest.
*It’s the fatigue that flares up just as you’re building momentum.
*It’s numbing out so you don’t have to feel the discomfort of change.

Each of these is your body’s way of saying: I don’t feel safe yet.
The question isn’t, ‘How do I get rid of this?’
The question is, ‘What is this trying to protect me from?’

✨ This is the work we do together in yoga therapy - learning to listen to your body, and gently shifting the patterns that hold you back.

Self-sabotage often hides in plain sight.

You might call it:
• Procrastination
• Perfectionism
• People-pleasing
• Chronic fatigue
• “Losing momentum”

But what if it’s not bad behaviour…
What if it’s protection?

In my latest blog, I dive into why we unconsciously block the very changes we crave and how to work with the nervous system, not against it.

This is the foundation of my Mind-Body-Freedom approach:
Recognise. Release. Repattern.

✨ Real transformation doesn’t happen in the mind alone it begins in the body.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this blog post is for you.

Rest isn’t a prize you get for pushing through.

It’s your birthright.
Your body’s wisdom.
Your way back to centre.

Stillness isn’t doing nothing - it’s how you find your rhythm again.

So let this land today:
✨ You don’t have to earn rest.
You are worthy of it simply because you are.
