October felt so full.

Ripe and abundant amidst the death and decay of autumn. A month where every morning I watched the snow line inch its way down the mountainside and watched my breath turn to fog in the cold air while we sat together with our cacao and our tarot cards and felt the warmth of community that holds us through the harshness of life. Every day I felt gratitude move through me like a prayer, for this life, and this house that felt so much like a home. Filled with so many people I love all together under one roof.

It really landed for me this month that I’m just a better version of myself when I’m around people. I’m more creative, more inspired, more me. Sometimes I wonder if the reason I love it so deeply is because I feel everything in such intensity. Isolation feels too much for my body to hold, it’s not only the difficult seasons that feel heavy when carried alone, even the joy feels fuller when witnessed, life is more beautiful when shared, at least for me, and I think somewhere inside I have always known this. It’s what has shaped my path, it’s what’s shaped me.

On a canoe trip this summer as we watched the sunset over the lake, we played a game where you say just one word that most wholly encapsulates each person When it came to me, my friend Kim said gatherer, and it struck something so deep because it felt like the most honest and accurate reflection of who I am beneath everything I do.

That word came back to me again tonight.

I held a women’s circle where we reflected on the ways we strive to be seen vs. the way we want to be remembered, the legacy we are leaving behind, and if there was a gap between the two. And that word gatherer came to me again.

You know, it’s a beautiful thing to be witnessed in the way you want to be remembered. We all strive to be someone and it doesn’t always align with who we truly are at our core. But in that moment I felt seen. And this last month reminded me of this gift. I think maybe it’s my superpower in this life. We all have one.

A gatherer. Of humans. Of hearts. Of magic. Of memories.
 What’s yours? ✨

There is a wild awakening happening all over the world. The women are being called. To gather and remember and return to their power.

We will not be tamed. We will not be silenced. We will not stay small.

This weekend together is an invitation to heed this call, the one that stirs something deep in your bones.

Join us in ritual and remembering as you awaken the wild woman within you. The one who’s laid dormant all this time listening and waiting to rise up and meet you.

She does not tread lightly. She will shake you to your very core. She will plunge you into darkness and bring you face to face with all that you’ve buried. But she will also set you free.

One space remains to join us. Comment WILD to receive details and claim that spot!

Snaps of September.

I’ll be honest, it’s been challenging..and beautiful. Grounding. And chaotic. Anyone else feel like they’re riding a roller coaster in life? One day feels like my heart could burst with how in love with life I feel. The next. I’m having an existential crisis about who I am and what I’m even doing with my life. While one home slowly comes together I feel my own foundations coming undone. Eclipses and equinox bringing to the surface the shadows. And the light. One cannot exist without the other. Being forced to fully surrender, releasing expectation and bowing down (sometimes with resistance) to the unknown forces at play. I reread my journal from 2 years ago only to realise I’m still struggling with the same themes. Stuck in a spiral, only not stuck. Returning to learn and unlearn. Build and break. Lessons repeating like the seasons until I’m ready to unearth what’s deeper. The feather, the brick, the truck. Life gets louder until we’re ready to listen. To learn. To love.

Ah this beautiful, messy, miraculous life we get to live. Fleeting and ephemeral. But eternally grateful. Expanding my capacity to hold it all. ❤️

It’s not about doing it all. It’s about living it all. Who you are when nobody is watching.

None of rituals or practices matter if their essence is abandoned the moment you step of your mat. True embodiment doesn’t live in the practices it lives in life.

THE ART OF FLOW: Advanced Asana & Sequencing Masterclass | November 22

This masterclass is an invitation to step beyond the familiar and explore the artistry of practice. Through seamless transitions, creative sequencing, and the weaving together of music, breath, and movement, we’ll enter a flow state where the practice becomes less about shapes and more about a moving meditation that is fluid, dance-like, and deeply embodied.

Together we’ll journey towards peak postures, not just as a physical destination but as a pathway to discover new possibilities in your body and your mind. Expect to be challenged, inspired, and surprised by what unfolds when you let the practice carry you.

This experience is open to all levels. No matter where you are in your practice, all you need is a willingness to try. You’ll be guided to explore at your own pace, while still being taken to new places within you.

Guiding you is Hayley Wanders, a senior teacher with over a decade of experience leading advanced trainings and retreats across the world. With a background in running 300-hour programs and mentoring teachers and facilitators, Hayley brings both depth and creativity to the practice, offering you tools to expand your own understanding while immersing fully in the joy of movement.

August. Leaving one home behind to build another some place new. Finally back in the mountains after years of being called. Landing in their yin presence. I just learned yesterday our property backs onto Mount Newmoon and I couldn’t think of anything more perfect. So many new adventures. New moon. New home. New husband. New chapter of our lives. And finally some time just us. Newlyweds. Endless kms of driving, sunrise to sunset, lakes and prairies and dance parties and good chats and the deepest feel it in my bones reminder that he is my person. My home. Wherever this life takes us.

I am so excited to be collaborating with .her.health to bring you this online Spring Equinox Women’s Circle.

For those in southern hemisphere, the shift into spring is slowly setting in. As women, we feel the turning of the seasons not only around us but also within us. Our cyclical nature carries us through constant waves of change. Growth and grounding. Expansion and contraction.

Our circle will include sharing, somatic practices, guided journaling, and meditation. It is a space to reconnect, renew, and welcome the season ahead.

When: Sunday 21st September, 2pm - 4pm AEST
Duration: 90 minutes + 30 minutes optional connection space
Where: Live on zoom
Cost: $20 (free for Healing Her members)

After more than a decade of deepening my own studies, teaching 1000’s of classes and running group retreats and teacher trainings around the world, I’m so excited to open up these 1:1 online offerings.

Are you looking to deepen your practice with a private class tailored to you? Or go deeper into a bespoke mentorship to evolve your skills in facilitation?

I want to work with you 🧡

Working privately has always felt organic to me, because we get to follow what’s alive in you. There’s never one path or formula, and no two people I work with are ever the same. These sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you in the next stage of your journey.

It’s an honour to share what has been shared with me over so many years and from so many teachers, and to walk alongside you as your path unfolds in its own unique way.

Head to the link in my bio for more info or DM me to book. 💫

Every time I look back through these photos, waves of emotion rise in me.

Memories, feelings, images etched not just in my mind, but into the softest parts of my heart. 
Days like these move like a whirlwind with so much unfolding at once somehow stretching time while also slipping by in a blink.

A friend reminded me to pause to really take it in the smells, the sounds, the light not just the grand and obvious moments but the quiet flashes of magic scattered in between.

That feeling of knowing deep in my bones
that I had found my person as I looked into his eyes and he spoke his vows to me. 
My sister and Sammy, the most sober people at the wedding
going wild on the dance floor
as my dear friend spun her magic on the decks.
 The impromptu lakeside gathering
all of us howling at the full moon
and, in perfect timing, fireworks bursting across the sky. 
Turning the corner of the house to find my high school friends
tangled with new friends from around the world all piled together in a cuddle puddle on the rugs
being serenaded by the acoustic magic of our talented friends. 
Both our Dads at the sparkle station faces lit up
glitter shimmering on their cheeks. 
A quiet moment at the end of the night
just the two of us laying at the end of the dock
watching moonlight ripple across the lake
my head on Matt’s chest
his heartbeat syncing with the bass
with the dancing with the laughter spilling in from the party still going strong.

As Lewis said during the opening breathwork of our ceremony 
“these are the good old days happening right now.”

And I can’t think of anything more true.

July 12 2025

The fairytale love celebration of our dreams.

The reminder that the best things in life are worth waiting for, working for, and weathering the storms for.

Our lives and our love are what we make it, we get to decide how it looks and the way we celebrated our love couldn’t have been more perfect for us. I am beyond grateful that the life we’ve carved out together has led us here. The most magical day, and week, of my life.

I’m still struggling to find the words to encapsulate how deeply loved and rich in friendship and beauty I felt over this time. To all our friends and family who made this day possible, who shared their talents, their support, their heavy lifting, their music, their dance moves, their words and most of all their presence, I could never thank you enough.

And to Matt. Being loved by you is the greatest gift I could have wished for in this lifetime and it has been and will always be the greatest privilege of my life to love you back.

More photos to come because I want to relive these moments 1000x over.
