Raewyn Fernandez Yoga Teacher | Ayurveda Wellness Coach | Abhyanga Massage | Business Coach + Website Designer You're here! Welcome!

My name is Raewyn, I am a Mother, Yogi and Business Coach. My intention is to educate and build community through movement, breath work and spiritual connection. I use my extensive training and in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche to teach and cultivate awareness of one’s own practice and life process. I weave this knowledge through my coaching to support you in reaching your goals in life and business.

I have a passion for women's health and working with children. This is at the root of many of my practices with an emphasis on supporting women through prenatal care, birthing and beyond. I also work within preschools and playgroups and treasure the opportunity to introduce the ancient concepts of yoga to children and their families.​.

We tend to think of ageing as inevitable decline. In Ayurveda, ageing is understood a little differently.

It’s an indication of increased or imbalanced Vata energy (this is the element of air and space): dryness, depletion, nervous system overstimulation, and gradual tissue breakdown. When Vata accumulates, we feel it in our skin, our joints, our sleep, and our mental clarity.

Self Abhyanga is one of the simplest practices prescribed to slow that process. It is a daily ritual of anointing the body with warm oil to nourishes dryness, rhythmic pressure to support lymphatic flow and steady touch to signal safety to the nervous system.

It’s about circulation. Repair. Hormonal balance. Joint longevity. Resilience.

I’m teaching this practice in a way that is practical, sustainable, and grounded in both classical wisdom and modern understanding.

“Women have gathered in circles for as long as there have been women.”

Running women’s circles has been one of the offerings I’ve loved the most, not because it’s dramatic or emotional, but because of how ordinary and grounding it is.

I’ve watched women arrive guarded, tired, unsure if they belong… and leave quieter, steadier, and more at ease, often without having shared very much at all.

What I’ve learned is this:
a circle isn’t powerful because of what’s said.
It’s powerful because of how safe it feels to be there.

This February gathering is an invitation to pause inside a very full season. We’ll work gently with breath, simple movement, and reflection drawn from Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom… offered in a way that’s practical and accessible.

There’s no expectation to speak. No pressure to open up. Listening is participation.

If you’ve been curious about women’s circles but unsure whether they’re “for you,” this one has been created with that exact hesitation in mind.

Women’s Circle
Saturday 28 February

A grounded space to pause, reflect, and leave feeling a little more resourced than when you arrived.

Not all women’s circles are about sharing everything or going deep before you’re ready.

This one is about pausing. Learning. Breathing. Replenishing energy in a way that feels safe, practical, and supportive.

Sharing is always optional. Listening is enough.

Lean into community, into rest, and into a season of care…

A little window has opened….

I have two Abhyanga / Ayurvedic treatment appointments available next week:
Friday 13th at 11:45am and 1:45pm.

Abhyanga is deeply nourishing, grounding, and regulating for the nervous system. Warm, herb-infused oils are rhythmically applied to the entire body to support lymphatic flow, digestion, sleep, and overall vitality. It’s especially supportive if you’re feeling depleted, overstimulated, run-down, or simply craving deep care.

These sessions tend to book quickly and rarely pop up last minute. If your body has been whispering (or shouting) for rest, this might be your sign.

Bookings can be made via the link in my bio or at www.raewynfernandez.com.au

In Sanskrit, the word for oil is sneha. It also means love. Tenderness. Affection…

This is why oil is the defining difference in abhyanga. Not as an add-on, but as the medicine itself. And not just any oil.

The quality matters… The herbs matter… The temperature matters…. The amount matters….

I only use the highest quality oils from and .

In abhyanga, the body isn’t skimmed or sparingly oiled. It is generously, deliberately covered. Head, scalp, face, ears. Arms, belly, back, hips. Legs, feet, all the way to the toes. Nothing is bypassed. Nothing is rushed.

The oils are prepared according to Ayurvedic traditions, steeped in herbs chosen to meet imbalance in the body. They’re warmed slowly by candlelight before touching the skin, never overheated, never hurried. Even the oil is treated with care before it meets you.

To be anointed in oil is to receive a message the nervous system understands immediately. You are safe. You are held. You can soften.

Sneha reaches places hands alone cannot. It seeps into tissues, nerves, and places that have been dry for a long time. It restores lubrication, yes, but also trust. It reminds the body what it feels like to be tended to without agenda.…

As my children return to school this week, I am thoughtfully wandering into the year ahead. I’m not prepared to say ‘wow this year went so quick’ at the end of it….

I am showing up, present and connected. I am refining my work to ensure that everything is in alignment and in deep reverence to myself and the community I serve.

The offerings that I am sharing this year are potent and come from a place of healing and nourishment. They are the offerings that I needed when I was surviving burnout, healing and feeling disconnected and isolated. These offerings all start with Byron retreat this year. There are only two rooms left. If you have been looking to join us, make sure you get in touch…

In Ayurveda, that “something” you feel missing has a name: Ojas.

Ojas is your deep reserve. Not energy you hype up with caffeine. Not motivation you force… It’s the quiet glow behind your eyes. The steadiness in your nervous system. The feeling that you’re resourced enough to meet life without bracing. (This is the biggest one for me!!)

When Ojas is strong, you feel:
• resilient, even under pressure
• warm, grounded, emotionally steady
• able to recover instead of constantly needing to “push through”

When Ojas is low, it looks like:
• getting sick easily
• feeling wired but tired
• irritability, anxiety, poor sleep
• a sense that life feels heavier than it should

Here’s the part that matters most: Ojas is built slowly. And it’s lost quickly…

Late nights, constant stimulation, under-eating, over-giving, never resting properly, all of it quietly drains your reserves.

So how do you rebuild your Ojas?
Warm meals.
Regular rhythms.
Enough sleep to actually restore you.
Touch. Stillness. Feeling safe in your body again.

Ojas doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from being nourished, consistently. And when it’s there, you don’t feel invincible… You feel whole.
