My mission is to support women to find health, wholeness and nourishment through Ayurveda and ancient women’s wisdom

Here’s a little more about my journey…

I succinctly remember as a child the smell of the Jasmine flowers along our backyard fence. I used to pick the flowers when they were blossoming in the springtime, put them in a bowl, add water, maybe a little dirt, and crush them into a sticky paste and offer it to my mum as a balm or a perfume. Bless her, she would always smell the bowl with delight and pretend she was using it to adorn herself.

As a child I spent a lot my time outside, playing with my siblings, and so even though I lived in suburban Victoria I always felt a deep sense of connection, curiosity and something deep within me attuning with nature.

Alas, I did not grow up where the words Ayurveda, herbal infusions, Yoga and Meditation or any of the likes were used at all. I lived the life of most standard Australian girls growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s.

When I was 21 I was itching to discover something outside the box I’d been used to.  I didn’t even wait until my university graduation to set of travelling, I was on a flight the week after I finished my last classes, Asia was calling, and eventually I followed the bread crumbs (and the backpackers party trail) to India. It’s in India where things started to drastically change, I became less interested in the sightseeing tick off list and drinking every night party culture and became absolutely enamoured with the rich culture, the extremes of the land, psyche and emotions which its people lived between. But it was the devotional and spiritual practice that I learnt about that tugged on the soul strings, a remembrance I was yet to understand.

This is when I began to discover the power of Yogic Lifestyle, that quickly began transforming my mind and health. I went on to study in northern India with Yogi Chetan Mahesh, and since then have never stopped learning and living in awe and honour of these Vedic teachings. I became forever a student in these ways.

My studies eventually led me to Ayurveda and a deeper sense of understanding, care and devotion to my own body, as well as a feeling of Dharmic purpose was born.

It was an honour to learn the art of Ayurvedic Massage from my Nepalese Teachers while immersed in the Himalayas, looking out over the magnificent mountains and feeling the majesty of these teachings, practices and techniques of this medical system that stems 5000 years through tradition and culture.

Studying Ayurveda and Traditional Tantra through the Shakti School helped me tailor my Dharma to where my heart really lies, with women, and the profound initiations the women and the feminine so intrinsically experience throughout their lifetime.

Implementing Ayurveda into my daily life and helping other do the same is a joy and I continue to observe the elemental play in nature as a way to better understand ourselves and the human body, and how we can bring ourselves back into our natural state of balance.

I combines my studies in the ancient Vedic wisdom sciences - Yoga, Ayurveda and traditional Tantra - with my love for embodiment, herbs, dance, women’s work, through Massage and womb treatments, workshops, 1:1 consultations, Yoga Teaching and Womens Dance & circles. To help others in finding their own path of healing, connecting back to nature and connecting back to their own bodies is the ultimate purpose and is at the heart of any offering I extend.

My journey is deeply seated in desire to be in service, and to find purpose in my passions. With a deep reverence for ceremony and ritual, I wish to inspire and guide others to tap into the innate wisdom of their own body by humbly carrying fourth the teachings that have served me along my own journey of healing. 

I hold the ultimate respect and gratitude for my teachers along the way, be it formally, as I have sat at the feet of many wise keepers of the knowledge, and the informal teachers that I encounter in this school of life.
