🍃 Good morning and Happy Monday.

Let’s take a gentle moment before the day takes off…

You’ve just woken up — maybe your mind is already running through today’s to-dos…
Maybe you feel a little heavy in the body, or your nervous system feels “switched on” before you’ve even had your first coffee. Or perhaps you’re tired but still pushing through, sensing there’s so much to hold this week.

💛 How are you actually feeling as you start today?
Stressed?
Flat?
Unsure?
Or just craving a moment of stillness before the week really begins?

Now ask yourself…
✨ How important is it to you to feel calm, clear and centred at the start of your week?
✨ Do you make the time to prioritise yourself — or do you always come last?

If you’re craving clarity, emotional balance and a softer start to your week, I’ve created a space just for you.

✨ Inner Compass – Tonight 6.30pm in Gymea

A class designed to help you:
🌿 Reconnect with your inner wisdom
🌿 Strengthen your self-leadership
🌿 Slow your breath and settle your nervous system
🌿 Let go of the mental noise

✨ Clear
✨ Calmer
✨ More focused
✨ More present

If your body is asking for this… listen to it.

Start your week the way you want to feel 🌿

See you soon!

11/11 — A Moment for Alignment 🌿

Have you ever noticed it’s 11:11 and felt it’s like a little nudge?

Energetically, 11:11 is a symbol of alignment — a powerful reminder that your thoughts, energy, and intentions are creating your reality.

It’s often called a “portal” moment, when the energy around you supports clarity, awareness, and new beginnings. ✨

For me, spirituality isn’t all “woo woo.” It’s about looking deeper — connecting your mind, body, and emotions so you feel balanced and whole.

When those parts of you align, everything flows with more ease and purpose.

So today, on 11/11, take a quiet moment to:

🌿 Pause and breathe.
💛 Reflect on what feels out of balance.
🌸 Set one clear intention for what you’d like to invite in.

If you happen to see 11:11, take it as a gentle sign — your energy is aligning and the universe is reminding you to trust your path. 🌸

Good morning 💛

The weekend is here — and before you rush into errands, housework, or family plans, take a moment to pause.

Really BREATHE.

Saturday mornings remind us we don’t have to keep moving to feel accomplished.
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow down.

Stillness doesn’t have to look perfect.
✨ Stand barefoot outside with your morning coffee.
✨ Take three slow breaths before opening your phone.
✨ Listen to your body before saying yes to something that feels heavy.

Even these tiny pauses help your nervous system regulate.
They tell your body, “I’m safe to slow down.”
And from that space, your thoughts soften, your energy resets, and your emotions begin to find balance again. 💫

I know what it’s like to juggle work, family, and everything in between — and how easily stress can take hold when we forget to stop. That’s why stillness and sound have become part of my daily rhythm.

Through sound, I’ve learned to slow my thoughts, recalibrate my energy, and return to myself — which is why I created the Stillness Collective Workshop Series.

🎵 A 90-minute immersive sound bath using crystal bowls and other frequencies to help you rest, release, and reconnect.
You’ll experience deep calm as the vibrations move through your body, soothing your mind, relaxing your nervous system, and helping you understand what your emotions are truly asking for.

🗓 Sunday 30th November
🕐 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
📍 Alchemy Centre of Transformation, Gymea
✨ Men and women welcome.

👉 www.holisticallyme.com.au

And if you’d love to learn how to bring stillness into your everyday life, I can help.
Send me a 💌 DM or visit my website to explore my Holistic Counselling and Transformational Programs.

Take a little space for yourself this weekend — to breathe, recalibrate, and come home to calm.

☀️ Monday Mindset — Be Kind to Yourself This Week

Good morning 💛

If you woke up today not quite feeling ready for the week ahead — that’s OK!
You’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re simply human.

Some Mondays we wake up with focus and energy…and others, we’re just doing our best to get moving, find our rhythm, and get through the the day.

Instead of pushing yourself to “be on,” try softening into the ebb and flow of the day. With all the plans we set, sometimes they don’t eventuate, as the ‘unexpected’ happens.

As you’re making your coffee or tea this morning, take a slow deep breath in and feel your feet on the ground. Remind yourself — I can move through this day with ease and self-kindness. Even better grab a few minutes outside!

It’s easy to set high expectations for ourselves — to keep striving, achieving, managing. I know that feeling myself as it naturally occurs with all the demands from work and home.

But what if this week it was different, your goal was simply to meet yourself with gentleness?

To check in, pause when you need to, and know that every small step counts🌿

Your energy will naturally rise and fall — thats OK!
The more kindness you offer yourself, the more steady and capable you can feel.

💚 Wishing you a week of grounded energy, gentle focus, and moments of stillness in between it all.

✨ And if you’re craving a deeper reset, join me for the Sound & Stillness Workshop — Sunday 30th November, 1:30–3:00pm at Alchemy Centre of Transformation, Gymea.
It’s a beautiful way to calm your mind, restore your energy, and begin the week from a place of balance.

🎵 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Everything in life has a vibration — including you!
Your breath, your heartbeat, your thoughts, even your emotions — all create waves of energy that ripple through your body.

When life gets busy or stressful, those waves can become scattered and uneven. That’s where sound comes in 🎶

The gentle vibration of a crystal bowl or chime doesn’t just create a soothing sound — it communicates directly with your nervous system. It invites your body to slow down, your heart to steady, and your energy to return to harmony 🌱

Sound is a language beyond words — it reaches places the mind can’t. It can move emotion that’s been held too long, soften mental tension, and open you to a deep sense of peace and balance.

Have you ever noticed how a single sound can change how you feel? When you allow yourself to feel sound, you begin to tune back into your natural rhythm — the one beneath all the noise.

✨ Come experience this at

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 - 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

𝗔𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

A 90-minute sensory immersion on a Sunday afternoon themed on 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚, 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 where crystal singing bowls, chimes and other frequencies blend with guided stillness to soothe the body, calm the mind, and restore balance.

Many of you describe experiencing sound at the end of class as like floating and deeply relaxing - now you can feel this for 1.5 hours!

There are only 9 spaces left so if you would like to join I’d recommended to book in to reserve your place.

Be kind to your mind 🩵

It’s something I remind myself of often — especially when life feels full, and my thoughts start to race ahead.

For me, it means slowing down long enough to notice what’s going on inside…to breathe before reacting,
to speak gently to myself, and to remember that I’m doing my best — even on the messy days.

REMEMBER to ask yourself often, “Am I being kind to my mind?” — and watch the quiet magic ✨ unfold in how you think, feel, and move through your day.

Good Morning!

Its world Menopause month and as many of you know, the past few years have taken me through breast cancer treatment and into a medical then surgical menopause. Because of the type of cancer I had, HRT wasn’t an option — so I needed to learn how to support myself in other ways.

It took time.
It took gentleness.
It took patience.
And it took really listening to my body.

Through my own research, training, practise, knowledge gained and a lot of compassion, I slowly developed my own toolkit — one that supports the mind, body, nervous system and all the emotional flows.

And now, its time to share what has helped me by introducing:

🌿 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

A gentle, grounding, heart-led workshop for women who are:
• approaching or in peri-menopause
• in menopause (natural, surgical or medical)
• or simply noticing the shift and changes

This workshop offers a new way to look at menopause — one that is not about pushing through or “just coping”…but about understanding, grounding, reconnecting and supporting yourself kindly and holistically.

• A new way to look at menopause
• Tools that nourish your mind, body + nervous system
• Space to feel seen, supported + understood
• A gentle community of women walking this path too
• Especially supportive if you’re open to holistic health

If your body, your emotions, or your energy have been shifting lately — this could be your gentle next step. And may even help someone close to you.

💗 EARLYBIRD PRICE is available until 7th November
This is a reduced rate for those who register early via the website or DM me.

THE IMPORTANCE OF REST — A SUNDAY REMINDER

Hi Everyone…

Rest is not a luxury.
It’s not something you “earn.”
And it’s not something you take only once everything else is done.

Rest is a biological requirement — especially in our 40’s and beyond.

Your mind, your hormones, your emotional world, and your energy systems all depend on periods of slowing down, softening, and returning to balance.

But I know that for so many of us — even on weekends — the mind keeps going.

Because your body doesn’t know it’s the weekend! Your nervous system only knows the pace it has been living in.

So if you’re sitting here this evening feeling tired, wired, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off — please know: you are not doing anything wrong.

This is your body asking for space.
For regulation.
For breath.
For grounding.

And I see this in so many women in our area —
professional, capable, caring women who do so much and hold even more — yet rarely feel able to pause without guilt or pressure.

I know this feeling, because I live it too!

🌸 Why Rest Can Feel Hard

Rest can trigger things we’ve been taught to push away:
• Guilt — “I should be doing something.”
• Fear — “If I stop, everything will fall apart.”
• Identity conditioning — “My value is in output.”

We learned to perform.
We did not learn to restore.

But midlife calls us back home — back to the body, back to intuition, back to grounded truth.

Rest is not stopping.
Rest is how we return to balance.

🌿 Why Balance Matters For Your Whole Self

| Mind | Becomes clearer, more spacious, less reactive |
| Body | Releases tension + stops bracing against life |
| Emotions | Move through you instead of building up |
| Spirit | Feels connected, calm, guided, and at home |

Balance doesn’t just make you feel better — it brings you back to yourself.

🌙 A Gentle Restorative Pose to Try Tonight & Tomorrow

Supported Reclined Butterfly
(soft, safe, no flexibility required):

1. Sit on your couch/bed/floor.
2. Bring soles of feet together and let your knees fall open to either side
3. Place pillows or blankets under each knee.
4. Lean back so your spine is supported.
5. One hand on your heart, one on your belly.
6. Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds.
7. Exhale through your mouth for 6–8 seconds.
8. On each exhale say to yourself “I don’t have to hold everything right now.”

Stay here for 2–5 minutes and let your whole body soften.

✨ Your Invitation

Try this today.
Try it again tomorrow.
Then come back and share how it felt. 🌿
Your voice may be the reminder another woman needs.

With warmth,
Wendy

🌿 A little about me… 🌿

For those who don’t know me well, I’m a single mum who’s lived a big, full, and sometimes messy life — one that’s taught me more about strength, surrender, and self-discovery than I ever could’ve imagined.

I’ve spent most of my career in corporate leadership — a world that’s taught me so much about people, resilience, change and possibility. It also led me to briefly step back and ask deeper questions about what truly matters, leading me on a path toward finding more meaning, balance, and authenticity in life.

I grew up surrounded by the ideals of holistic health — natural ways of healing, trusting the body’s wisdom, and listening to what we truly need. I’ve always been a lifelong learner, curious about how we can feel and live better. Over the years, I’ve explored and used natural remedies and holistic techniques to support my wellbeing, including managing a chronic lung disease I developed when my kids were young, nearly 20 years ago.

When I moved to Queensland over 12 years ago for work, something shifted again. It was there that I truly began to embrace and deepen my connection to holistic living — trained in Hatha yoga teaching and meditation, and exploring new ways to live with presence and intention. From there, I was drawn to energy healing, including Reiki, and over the years gained my Masters in Holistic Counselling and not too long ago training in Psych-K, allowing me to guide myself and others into a deeper knowing of who we are beneath the noise of everyday life.

Through all my learnings, sound has always been paramount — the vibration, rhythm, and resonance that connect us beyond words. As a trained sound bowl practitioner, I weave the power of sound in a subtle yet powerful way into everything I do. It’s amazing how sound frequencies can help shift and release energy in a way which you

I’ve carried these practices with me everywhere I go— always seeking ways to learn, grow, and connect. 🌞

Life gave me the nudge I needed — through that long health journey, and later through breast cancer only a few years ago. Surgeries, treatment as well as a medical and surgical menopause pushed me into a condensed menopause which threw my whole being. Both experiences cracked me open and reminded me what truly matters: health, peace, purpose, love and connection.

I’ve been married, divorced, engaged, and through all of it, I realised that what I was really searching for wasn’t in anyone else — it was in me.

Now, as I approach my 50th, I can honestly say that walking the path of my 40’s has been something truly unique — a decade of awakening, unlearning, rebuilding, and rediscovering who I really am beneath all the layers.

These days, I’m in a season of coming home to myself — creating space for healing, expansion, and helping others especially women do the same either in their early 40’s or beyond their early 50’s, in a way which is real and meaningful. This next chapter is about slowing down just a little, living intentionally, and sharing from a place of truth.

And a little more about me… I love soaking up the sunshine, and starting the day with gentle movement, a mini meditation, and mindfulness in making my coffee — barefoot, of course — so I can ground myself and begin each day with intention.

It’s much the same way I end my day — soaking in the stillness and quiet, calming my busy mind, and closing with a moment of gratitude for it all.

I’m savoury over sweet, love fresh food, cooking, morning coffee, talking with people, crystals, watching an open fire, walking with my pups, cuddles with my ginger cat, hanging with my family, socialising with friends and being outside in nature - beach, river, the bush. It’s the simple things that bring me back to who I am. 🌸

If my journey resonates with you, or if you’ve ever felt the call to realign your life and come back to who you are beneath it all, I’d love to walk that path alongside you. Here’s to growth, healing, and being Holistically Me. 🫶
