** they ate a fig tree **

Fanta & Astro ate the leaves off the fig tree and then started on the branches.

But they had no interest in the figs so if anyone has a suggestion of what to do with 150 unripe figs, I’m all ears.

I had a serious debrief with the horses to tell them how disappointed I was and they seemed genuinely remorseful.

Until they started on the nectarine tree……..

Life on the farm… never a dull moment.

** Save the date **

What better way to honour this magnificent land than to slow down long enough to actually feel it?

We’re inviting you to a weekend of connection, movement, nourishment, creativity, rest, nature and time with our beautiful therapy horses.

This retreat has been brewing for a long time.

Now we finally get to create a village of glamping tents along Thompsons Creek and share our little pocket of magic, wrapped in native trees and birdsong.

Together, we’ll gather on sacred Wadawurrung Country and remember what it feels like to be part of something bigger, bolder, older.

More details to come, but for now mark the date and DM to register your interest so you’ll be the first to know when bookings open.

Or… if you are able to donate, every dollar and every conversation helps rewrite the story around men’s mental health … from hiding it to healing it.

Support our fundraiser:

Movember, the month formerly known as November, is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

** Friday Flashback from 2016 **

This memory popped up today of a slumber-party in what used to be the kids’ bedroom. It stopped me in my tracks and reminded me of all the joy, chaos, belly laughs and late-night shenannigans this little room once held.

Fast-forward to now… the same four walls have become a calm, beautiful space for healing. Every room in this house has evolved with us — each one now home to its own modality: osteopathy, somatic experiencing, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, naturopathy, yoga & equine therapy… with EMDR coming in January.

And this room? It’s actually available. One of our wonderful practitioners has reduced their hours, so we’ve got space for someone new.

If you’re a practitioner looking for a warm, heart-centred home for your work - for 1 or more days per week, please reach out. I’d love to show you around.

It’s a pretty special place… and it has a big story to tell.

** good things happen here **

When your emotions are running the show - grief, anger, shame, fear, overwhelm... they take the driver’s seat and you’re left hanging on, exhausted and reactive.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

The work I do with our herd of therapy horses helps to release what’s been stuck - the heavy, discordant emotional energy that’s been living in your body - sometimes for decades.

Through this powerful somatic healing process, you start to feel grounded again. Lighter. Clearer.

It’s not magic, but it feels like it.

Every session I facilitate fills me with awe, reverence and respect for the process and for the courage of the people I work with. The changes are visible - posture softens, eyes brighten, energy settles, colour returns, presence deepens.

Good things really do happen here.

If you’re ready to stop letting your emotions run your life and start healing from the inside out, this work is for you.

$150 | 1 hour | Can be truly life changing

** Movember - we’re on a roll **

Only one week in and the support from the community has been has been fantastic — with $710 already raised for Movember.

Builders, tradies, golfers from 13th Beach, and a few dads from Surf Coast FC have jumped on board for our Men’s Intro to Yoga & Meditation Series, with all proceeds going to Movember.

The 4pm class on Sundays (Nov 2, 9, 16 & 23) is almost full, so we’ve added a second session at 5:30pm for anyone keen to join in.

If there’s a man in your life who could use a little help calming the mind, easing tension from the body, and soothing the nervous system — all while supporting men’s health — this is the perfect way to do it.

We’re aiming to raise $5,000 by the end of November, so sign up for the Men’s Intro Series, join our team and Grow a Mo or donate to help us get meet our target.

Movember is Australia’s leading men’s health movement, raising funds and awareness for mental health, su***de prevention, and testicular & prostate cancer.

We are supporting this incredible charity because we want to help create a culture where vulnerability is strength and connection is healing.

… and because raising awareness can save a life.

** Equine Assisted Therapy at Yoga Farm **

Whether you’re holding grief, anger, or any big emotion that feels like it’s running the show...

Whether you’re neurodiverse or have lived through trauma...

Or if you just need to decompress, take a life-audit and breathe…

Our herd of horses meet you exactly where you are - without judgment, without needing words.

Through gentle, somatic equine assisted therapy, you’re invited to feel what’s happening in your nervous system - to let the energy of emotion rise, express, and move.

Because it’s all energy.

What we push down will keep finding ways to come up… until we allow it to be seen, felt, and released.

Healing isn’t about “getting over it”… because this stuff lives in our cells, not in our mind.

It’s about learning to move through it… with awareness, compassion, and support.

And our therapy horses intuitively help guide that journey back to calm, connection, and wholeness.

Building capacity to move through life with less fear and more joy.

* NDIS funding available (self-managed & plan-managed)
* $150 per session (60 mins)
* Group Sessions available on request

** Yoga Farm People **

- Steve Tibbits - Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy -

Steve is one of the incredibly experienced and talented practitioners working from the Yoga Farm Wellbeing Rooms.

I asked Steve what kind of things his clients are dealing with…

“A wide variety of issues but some of the main things I deal with are improving relationships, dealing with anxiety, self-criticism, low self-esteem and anger issues.  I also help deal with addiction.

I spend a lot of time helping clients to be kinder to themselves, to meet their inner critic and pass through the boundaries they create for themselves.”
 
… then I spoke about how Yoga Farm is Shining A Light On Men’s Mental Health…

“A lot of my clients are Men, and in recent years the numbers of men seeking help has drastically increased, because in the past, men tended to keep it to themselves, suppress emotions or self-medicate when dealing with mental health issues.  

The attitude has always been that real men don’t need help. But that’s changing now, a new wisdom is replacing that old stuck attitude.

Now it’s seen that wise men seek help to create change. There was more perceived stigma in the past for men to open up, even to their partners.

Now wives, girlfriends, partners and sisters feel they can support their men getting help. No longer enabling men to turn to external supports to distract them from their feelings.

Opening up, feeling, releasing those deep emotions is no longer seen as weakness. Men also are better informed about their health in general and people like football players or ‘real’ men are showing that being vulnerable is what real courage is.”
 
… and finally, What Do You Like About Working From Yoga Farm?…

“I love the casual environment. Non-clinical, it’s warm and welcoming. The open fire, the comfortable couches.  The trees and the horses..!”
