Nuance and paradox.

Life is full of nuance and paradoxes.

Feeling all this and sharing for those who may be feeling this too with whatever you’re going through right now.

Any form of grief and joy.
Feeling ready and needing lots of rest.
Grateful and bone-deep tired.
Relieved and mourning a loss.

Whatever you may be going through right now, big or small, heavy or light, may this give you the permission you don’t need to feel it all and if you can, whilst laying down, or as one of my absolute favourite humans so delightfully describes, whilst horizontal.

Even if for just one minute …. or five if you’re lucky enough 😉 IFYKYK

It’s been a time!

And a very difficult year. But just as Spring has sprung, and Djilba arrives, one season has well and truly ended and another is very excitingly unfolding.

I’ve been on quite the hiatus professionally, and personally, but am looking forward to reconnecting with so many of you here.

I don’t have the capacity to return to teaching or work just yet, and I can’t show up quite how I’d like to right now, but I’ve learnt so much over the last year/s and I’m really looking forward to integrating it all very soon into unpolished but accessible, highly adapted virtual offerings for those who may be interested. Mostly audios maybe some videos with gentle, nurturing, adaptive movements and lots of relaxation. Some live, a lot pre-recorded.

My work will mostly be an invitation of support for women, especially mothers, and parent/carers (new and experienced) navigating additional needs, disability and chronic illness. But all are welcome!

Feel free to share a 💚 below if this interests you and I’ll gently check in again soon.

So grateful

This client testimonial 🙌

I love working with and supporting women and mothers through the work that I do. It’s an absolute honour and privilege.

And I have the best clients 🥰

If you are an expecting mother, feel free to reach out to enquire about my pre and post natal massages.

This particular mother had just had a fall a few days prior at 39 weeks and had injured her tailbone.

Once she had the medical authority for a massage, I worked gently and intuitively to ensure her ultimate comfort and safety, and included reiki to invite some pain relief. Then bubs arrived healthy and well, the very next morning 🥰 Just amazing ✨

My favourite season in Perth. Fresh bookends of the day. Cooler temps. Mostly sunny. Sometimes raining. Beautiful colours. And no swooping Coolbardies (magpies).

I love these gorgeous captures by 💙
My two littles 🥰

Today, I’m identifying with Scooby in the photo … I’m on the edge … cautiously about to brave the boundary of my comfort zone.

I’m choosing to get a little controversial on here (Insta) and share my opinion in my stories on a political topic that I’m deeply passionate about - women’s rights, reproductive rights and pregnant people’s rights.

I’ve never been political in this space so I’m fully aware this has the potential to be divisive. However, I feel too strongly not to share, so as always, if it’s not resonating, feel free to skip, swipe or unfollow. No hard feelings.

If you’re intrigued, stay tuned for my Insta stories later today. My hope is to raise awareness on reproductive rights here in WA.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Reflection.

At this mid-part of the year, I’ve been in deep reflection.

Reflecting on the fact that we’re over half way through this year. How is that even possible??

Also reflecting on where I am now. My identity, how that relates to the roles I’m currently in, both within motherhood and outside of it; my journey through matresence, secondary infertility and now at this point in my life where I find myself at a bit of an unexpected crossroad.

In addition to my self reflection, I’ve had so many of you recently reach out and ask about my teachings and my work. Thank you for that! In my role as a full time mum, my work and creativity have taken a bit of a back seat so it was so lovely to reconnect with you and a timely reminder of who I am outside of being “mum”🙏

And so I’ve been reflecting on how I can teach and work in a way that aligns with my family’s values (and our still sleep deprived and FIFO timetable).

I’m still figuring that out and am looking forward to sharing more of what that looks like with you very soon.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing more of my own learnings from these last few years, particularly those relating to life’s major transitions, mental health, identity, values, matresence, infertility, pregnancy loss, and trauma-informed practices to support all of the above and more.

You may find that what I’m sharing and posting is no longer relevant or resonating with you.

If that’s the case, please feel free to unfollow at any time, no hard feelings, and I thank you for your support so far.

If you’re happy to continue following along, please reach out if you’ve been wondering about my yoga teaching - your interest will help shape my plans. And if you would like to be the first to know about my yoga classes and other offerings, please follow the link in bio.

Namaste
