If you know me, you know I’m a summer girl ☀️

So the grey days and slower pace lately felt… disappointing at first. But they gave me something I didn’t realise I needed.

The last couple of weeks have been quietly healing with walks, books without a clock, a slow coffee, catching up on shows and a LOT of naps.

In that space, I reflected on 2025.
It asked a lot.
It stretched me.
It taught me the value of rest, boundaries, and listening to my energy.

As I step into this new year, I’m stepping into a lot of new too.

Rather than setting big yearly goals, I’ve asked myself:
How am I going to show up for myself and my health this year?

For me, that looks like supporting my nervous system through a big transition
and trusting that when opportunities arise, it’s okay to take them —
scared, excited, or unsure.

If you’re looking for ways to support yourself this January, new offerings like our Vision Board workshop and Meditation Memberships and Classes are now available on the website 🌿

✨ Signing Off ✨

Today marks my final day seeing counselling & coaching clients, as I transition into a new chapter.

Walking alongside so many of you through anxiety, burnout, grief, growth, depression, breakthroughs, and “I don’t know what I need but I know I’m tired” moments has been one of the greatest honours of my life.

This isn’t a goodbye to the values that sit at the core of what I do. It’s simply a closing of one chapter to make space for what’s next.

To every client who sat across from me, walked beside me, cried, laughed, resisted, softened, learned, and grew - thank you. You’ve shaped me just as much as I hope I’ve supported you.

I’m taking a pause over Christmas and will continue to share what’s coming up as we collectively move from this year into the next.

Last night our meditation crew got together for a little end of year celebration and my heart is full 🥹

I absolutely love the community that’s grown over 2025. Many of the people in this room have shown up up to twice a week for an entire year — what a commitment to themselves, their wellbeing and this space 🤍

We missed a few faces, but the ones who were there brought all the laughs, connection and good vibes. Amazing food, beautiful company and some very spontaneous trivia at Appin Hotel made it the perfect way to wrap up the year.

I can’t wait to see you all back on Monday 19th Jan when our new timetable begins.

✨ Meditation Update for 2026 ✨

I’m so excited to share what’s unfolding for our meditation community in the new year 💛

From January 2026, we’ll be offering two different meditation experiences each week, while keeping the calm, grounded, welcoming space you know and love.

🕖 New Timetable

Mondays at 7pm with the beautiful Lana Devjak
Wednesdays at 7pm with me, Sam

Each class will have its own theme, offering variety, depth, and support for your practice.

✨ Welcome, Lana

You may already know Lana from our Sound Healings or Open Day — she brings such a calming presence, gentle humour, and grounded energy. I couldn’t imagine a better person to step into our Monday evenings.

✨ What’s staying the same

Our classes are still designed for the everyday person using grounding techniques, breath awareness, and guided visualisation. We’ll continue to finish each class with a herbal tea and time to connect.

✨ Coming soon…

There will be updated pricing and new membership options launching for 2026. More details will be shared very soon.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community, I can’t wait to begin this next chapter with you ✨

✨Thank You✨

Another year of meditation done.

Another year of watching incredible people show up for themselves.

Another year of witnessing just how deeply meditation, connection, and community can shift someone’s wellbeing.

Yes, we meditate. But we also laugh, we debrief, we reflect, we sit in silence, we snack and we show up exactly as we are. These classes have grown into something so much more than a typical meditation class. They’ve become a space for grounding, healing, honesty, and genuine human connection. And that’s what makes them special.

I’ve seen people walk in feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or exhausted… and walk out lighter, clearer, steadier. That impact is why I love this work so much.

We’ll be back mid to late January with an updated class structure designed to support your wellbeing in a sustainable, nourishing way throughout 2026. More details on the timetable and options are coming very soon.

✨ Want to stay in the loop?

And even though classes have wrapped for the year, the fun isn’t over, next week we’re celebrating with our own Christmas Party Dinner, and I cannot wait to see you there! 😉

Thank you for another beautiful year of meditation, growth, and community.

Here’s to even more in 2026. 💛
