Yoga Teacher | Ayurveda Wellness Coach | Abhyanga Massage | Business Coach + Website Designer You're here! Welcome!

My name is Raewyn, I am a Mother, Yogi and Business Coach. My intention is to educate and build community through movement, breath work and spiritual connection. I use my extensive training and in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche to teach and cultivate awareness of one’s own practice and life process. I weave this knowledge through my coaching to support you in reaching your goals

in life and business.

I have a passion for women's health and working with children. This is at the root of many of my practices with an emphasis on supporting women through prenatal care, birthing and beyond. I also work within preschools and playgroups and treasure the opportunity to introduce the ancient concepts of yoga to children and their families..

Let’s talk about sleep…

Not just the kind where you fall into bed and drift off peacefully, but the restless tossing, the 3am wake-ups, the mind that just won’t quiet…

If you’re a woman who struggles with sleep, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. When my nervous system is overwhelmed or my energy scattered, sleep becomes elusive. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this often means Vata dosha is elevated (air and ether running wild in the mind and body). Racing thoughts, dry skin, gas, cold hands and feet, worry, irregular routines… all signs that the nervous system is crying out for rhythm, grounding, and warmth.

And the impact of disrupted sleep runs deep…. our digestion weakens, hormones become imbalanced, moods become unpredictable, and our capacity to thrive (and just cope) is depleted.

So what can we do?

🌿 Establish a wind-down ritual. Ditch the screens, light a candle, sip warm herbal tea (I love chamomile, ashwagandha, or nutmeg).
🌿 Massage the soles of your feet with warm sesame or brahmi oil to calm the nervous system.
🌿 Eat your last meal early, and keep it light and warm to ease the digestive load.
🌿 Try Yoga Nidra or slow breathing (like Nadi Shodhana) to bring the body back into rest mode.
🌿 Go to bed before 10pm, before Pitta (fire) reignites the mind and digestion.

Sleep is sacred. It’s how we repair, restore, and return to ourselves.

If sleep has been escaping you lately, consider it a whisper from your body asking for deeper care. You’re not broken, you’re simply out of rhythm.

Let me know if you want some herbal support or a guided night-time ritual. I’ve got you 💗

Love letters….

“It was the most amazing experience from start to finish if you have had any massage before, this is unlike any experience you have ever had you can’t describe it. The music playing, the pressure, the atmosphere was unmatched I can’t wait to do again Raewyn was phenomenal I absolutely loved it” - Paige

Beautiful words from a client this week 💗

To the part of you that’s been holding it all.
All the lists, the caregiving, the forward momentum.

Tonight, we thank the day for all it offered,
the beauty, the chaos, the intention, the undone.
And we soften our grip on what wasn’t finished.

This is the wisdom of Ayurveda…
to honour the rhythms, not the rush.
To nourish the Ojas, the deep vitality that blooms
not from doing more,
but from being more still.

So come.
Exhale the day.
Lay it down.

Oil your feet.
Drink your warm milk.
Listen to the breath.

Let the nervous system unravel in your softness.
Let your heart beat with the Earth’s pace again.

Stillness is not a luxury.
It is the medicine.
It is the way home.

A little love note from me to you 🌿

From July 1st, I’ll be charging GST. It’s a big milestone for my little business and a reflection of the beautiful growth we’ve shared — and I’m so grateful to you for being part of it.

If you’d like to repurchase your fave treatments or treatment bundles before then, you can absolutely do that and save on the GST before it kicks in Tuesday.

Thanks for supporting what I do… it means the world.

CANCER NEW MOON
JUN 25 3:31 AM PDT / JUN 25 12:31 PM CEST / JUN 25 8:31 PM AEST

MOONTHLY THEME: Nurturing, Home & Family

NEW MOON REFLECTION: ‘I openly share my vulnerabilities with trust that I will be received with love.’

“We really need to stop pretending that we’re not all deeply emotional beings. There are so many ways to explore ‘Cancer,’ but this New Moon reflection reminds me of the confronting truth that every single human being is sentient. It’s easy to imagine we’re more ‘emotional’ than others — and even in astrological terms, that the water signs have a monopoly on feeling. But the truth is we all experience emotion, we just experience it differently.

This New Moon is conjunct Jupiter, which just entered Cancer for the first time since 2013 - 14, opening a new twelve-year chapter of emotional wisdom. Jupiter magnifies what it touches, and in Cancer, it amplifies our capacity for care, nurture and belonging. It reminds us that emotional insight grows through consistent, attentive practice. The New Moon also forms a supportive sextile to Mars in Virgo, encouraging mindful action and emotional precision. Let this New Moon mark a return to your emotional truth. Let it be the beginning of a language you learn to speak with clarity and reverence...”

Yoga did not arrive as an answer.
It arrived as a question….
Who are you beneath the roles, the noise, the doing?

Over years, on the mat,
In silence, breath, and devotion…
Yoga revealed what was never lost.

To every student who has practiced beside me,
To those who have trusted me in stillness, in sweat, in surrender, thank you.
You are the echo of my teachers’ voices.

To my teachers, Mark Breadner, Katie Silcox, Jasmine Tarkeshi, Idit Hefer, Katie Rose, Mel McLaughlin, and Jeff Miller, Dylan and Sole from Vital Veda and the deeply respected Raju family….
Your teachings are woven into my cells.

In the words of the Bhagavad Gita:
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the Self.”

And on this day, I bow to the path,
To the mystery that calls us home,
To the fire that burns, purifies, and reveals.

Jai Yoga

Ayurvedic Cooking Workshop
Sunday 31st August | 11am - 2pm

A Seasonal, Hands-On Experience in My Home Kitchen

For the first time, I’ll be welcoming a small group of women into my home for a nourishing, sensory-rich Ayurvedic cooking workshop, and I’m so excited to be co-hosting this experience with my Mother.
This is more than just a cooking class.
It’s a return to the roots. A remembering. A reclaiming of the kitchen as a place of healing, ritual, and deep connection.

This is a hands-on, immersive workshop where you’ll learn the foundations of Ayurvedic cooking and eating, rooted in ancient wisdom and made practical for modern life.

This offering is personal. My mum and I have been cooking together since I was a child. Her wisdom, her love of food, and her fierce nurturing energy shaped how I now teach others to approach food: with reverence, curiosity, and joy.
I’ll be weaving in Ayurvedic knowledge, and she’ll be bringing the magic of her own lived experience, of cooking for family, of making a house a home, of finding wellness in the everyday.
This is an invitation to sit at our table, and be part of something warm, real, and quietly transformative.

Winter is the great exhale.
The cocoon.
The drawing back in.

As the leaves fall and the world quiets, I too feel the pull to return to myself. To soften into slowness. To honour the natural fall away of what is no longer needed.

In this retreat, I’ve found something unexpected, an abundance of creativity.
Ideas swirl gently in the stillness.
My mind, unburdened, begins to dance again.
But I know these seeds are not yet ready to bloom.

Spring will come.
The energy will rise.
And my creations will be ready to rise with it.

But for now, I listen to the whispers of the season…
“Rest, my dear. The world can wait.”

Winter is here….

The mornings are crisp, the days shorter, and the natural world is beginning to turn inward. So should we.

In Ayurveda, winter is dominated by the Kapha dosha, with a subtle undertone of Vata - think cold, heavy, slow, damp, dense. These qualities can leave us feeling sluggish, heavy, congested, or even a little flat emotionally if we’re not supporting ourselves correctly.

But here’s the beauty, winter is also the season when our digestive fire (Agni) is strongest. It is a perfect time to deeply nourish and build immunity, regulate hormones, and calm the nervous system.

To eat in a way that aligns with the change in season think:

- Warm, cooked, grounding meals
- Hearty soups and stews
- Root vegetables, whole grains, legumes
- Warming spices like ginger, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper and mustard seeds
- Healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, and coconut oil to lubricate and protect

This is not the season for raw salads, smoothies, or cold leftovers. Instead, we favour food that’s slow-cooked, spiced to awaken digestion, and infused with warmth. Food that feels like a hug from the inside.

Want to learn how to cook this way with ease (and joy)? My Ayurvedic Winter Cooking Workshop is coming up soon… A nourishing, practical dive into how to eat with the seasons to truly feel well. More details dropping this week!

For now, go put a pot of dahl on the stove, sip something warm, and honour the deep medicine of winter.
