Ginty Bunny Kids and Teens Yoga

21/05/2025

Reiki offers healing in many ways;

* purely relaxing & deep peace, that stays with you
* great nights sleep
* reconnect you with images as a child ( this was my experience), reconnecting you with feelings of joy & freedom
* identify physical areas eg joints that would like some attention; clear and support them. I can also suggest supportive yoga poses to practice to ensure you are getting fresh blood and oxygen to areas that need it for rejuvenation.
* connect with emotions trapped in your soma (body) and give them space to be acknowledged
* insight into how you are really feeling then understanding what you need to care for yourself.

The list is endless and different practitioners will connect in very different ways.

Most of all it is simply another mode of practice that helps connect mind, body and soul. Often feedback comes up, in most of the cases it does not make sense to me but it does to my clients.

It is an ancient practice that I think everyone would benefit from trying.

Let me know when you are ready to try something new, simple & effective.

Exciting news for me.

Since leaving my fulltime role in March I have expanded the offerings from Ginty Bunny.

I have had an incredible personal journey with Reiki, starting in 2003 when I received my first session, which is in Chapter 9 of my book Childfulness

In 2014 I became a qualified practioner. I have been practising with family and close friends for over 10 years.

The feedback has always been positive and insightful.

So now I have time and space in my life I am offering it as part of my Mindfulness business, Ginty bunny.

Please see below for details and DM with any questions or bookings.

Open from Monday 19th May 2025. I can come to you or you can come to our beautiful bushland based consulting rooms in Burbank.

Thanks for your support - Gini. Confidentiality is a no brainer.

On Wednesday I went to the GC Gabor Mate conference. It was utterly incredible to hear him speak in such a humble, authentic and compassionate manner. 😍😊😇🥳

One key takeaway stood out: spending time with people who accept you as you are leads to greater happiness and health. This is especially true for children, who need to feel accepted as their authentic selves, regardless of our judgement of them. When they don’t, they may suppress parts of themselves to gain approval, which can impact their emotional and physical well-being.

Also children who experience emotional or physical trauma are more prone to autoimmune issues and neurological challenges. This highlights the importance of mindfulness and acceptance in our relationships. By fostering environments that nurture authenticity, we support healthier, happier lives.

The good news is, thanks to discoveries in neuroplasticity and its link to mindfulness and meditation practices, we can change the past. By rewiring our brains, we can heal emotional wounds and create healthier patterns, TOGETHER!

These insights resonate with the themes of my Childfulness workshops. We have two spots left for May’s sessions, open to children aged 10+, and parents of any age 😄 . If interested, message me to secure a spot! 😊

Personal but relevant and interesting.

Medical Miracles and Mindfulness

Thirteen years ago today, our lives changed forever. Our then 4-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Today, I am very happy to say he is a thriving 17-year-old, ready to start Year 12. The journey that began on January 14, 2012, has come full circle to this very day, January 14, 2025 when we had our final meeting with our oncologist.

What I’m about to share could be mistaken for a clever marketing story, but it’s not—it’s my truth. And for those who know me well, I hope you’ll see it that way too. At the start of this year, I started to transition my passion project, Gintybunny, into Childfulness—a mindfulness-focused, family-centered business that has been years in the making. Where we will be running Family Fulness Workshops.

Mindfulness entered my life just a few months into my son’s treatment, during one of the darkest and most uncertain times we faced. Having lost 15 kilos in two weeks and with no hair, we had no guarantees about what the future held.

I decided in a moment of utter despair that since I couldn’t predict or control the future, I would focus on being present. The odds didn’t matter to me anymore—because, really, who knows what side of those odds you’re on? Instead of fearing a future without him or feeling guilt for the past, I chose to fully live in each moment, even the hard ones.

Being present gave me the strength to embrace every moment we had, no matter how painful. Shortly after his treatment, I began meditating, took a Reiki course, and dove into mindfulness and yoga therapy studies.

Mindfulness transformed my life. It allowed me to face challenges with courage, support others with empathy, and seek help when I needed it most. It has the power to make any situation better by grounding you in the present moment, improving relationships, and even enhancing physical health. Most importantly, it helps you not miss your life, even in its hardest moments.

I want to thank the incredible teams at the Royal Women’s and Children’s Hospital, where our journey began, and the Queensland Children’s Hospital where it concluded. Hearing our oncologist tell our son what a wonderful young man he’s become—and reminding him to wear sunscreen and go
live his life—was the perfect way to close this chapter.

To all the families who shared those hospital days with us, especially the Turner Ward families—you are forever in my heart. Here’s to us and our little miracles, wherever they are.

So thought it was time to refresh my Mindfulness. Delightful course.
Funny when you think you know a bit you are reminded you know very little.
New things are brewing at Gintybunny. 😇💃

So the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia ordered 10 books. Because guess what? Trauma in some cases is linked to physical pain. 🥹
So maybe we can start looking at where pain originates from, before surgery starts. Why does the Medicare system rely on things being done to us! Instead of working through things with us first.
Holistic wellness, psychological support, being mindful, diet and appropriate yoga therapy. Proven to assist.

So I was searching for a particular flower in my photos. I was less than optimistic with my tech skills.
Anyway maybe I don’t need them today because this is what came up.
My young lady yoga client who I have been working with for 3 years now. Growing into a fabulous young warrior woman. Very proud of how she gives everything a good go, and a true ambassador for animals.
And my Cookie, who continues to give yoga a go, even though she is not too keen. A gift really because if I can get her to do it then anyone has the potential to enjoy it occasionally 🤣😇
So maybe these were exactly the flowers I needed to find today! And at 49 I have completely got distracted and forgotten what I was initially looking for 🤣

So in today’s class a little chap who said he would not touch an orb, happily without, any encouragement pushed two orbs around after our lively yoga session.
Whilst our meditation involved an adventure with a dolphin called Charlie and a dragon called Dora.
One on one mindfulness 🧘‍♀️
Love it 😍
