The Well Beings Space

26/04/2026

I and many other Women grew up in a culture where we were taught to criticise, critique & punish our Selves relentlessly albeit unconsciously
Especially for the way we look,
How much we weighed & the size of our clothing.
You needed your bra to be bigger & your knickers to be smaller.
Both body parts should be round, firm & perky - even as we bare children and even as we age!

We went thru the low fat, no fat, skinny every-fkg-thing years.
Many of us STILL carrying the scars & beliefs that low calories and low fat is best,
Never stopping to question or consider the unconscious conditioning we have absorbed.

As I made & continue to make peace with my body, I became kinder to my Self & so others
As I learnt to have compassion for my wounded Self and her ingrained beliefs I had more compassion for others
As I learnt to let go of those self destructive body shaming beliefs
She began to let go…
Her voice became quieter
As her fear became smaller.
Her fear became smaller
As she began to feel SAFE

HELD
LOVED
SUPPORTED

She would never have allowed ‘us’ to eat ice cream
Nor butter
Nor full cream anything
Because her value depended on her size & shape.

This is a reminder to anyone who know this story too
Self care, health & wellbeing
Are never gruelling
Never punishing
Never excessive nor depriving in their practice

So make peace with those parts
Get busy doing the work
And eat the frickin ice cream
And enjoy the view.
Life is shorter
And goes faster
Than you think

Last year I dedicated my 2025 to ‘Being Known’ and ‘In demand’
through the work and passion projects I do.
I created platforms & opportunities for others.
I made my classes affordable and accessible to all through The Healthy Darwin  funding program.
So when I reflected, I saw very clearly it was the intentional steps I took last year - guided by my vision for 2026, that created the great opportunities flow me now.
And at this next level, the game changes SIGNIFICANTLY
Organisation
Accountability
Responsibilities
All probably reason I’d dragged my feet for so long on up levelling.
Fear of Success someone whispered.
Nope fear of extra RESPONSIBILTY & fear of having to be ORGANISED!
I needed proposals, plans, budgets…
And I needed them to speak to different audiences
The Community Service Sector 
The Corporate Sector
I need to be PROFESSIONAL.
 
And then my beloved Flo was badly injured & in intensive care and the estimated bill climbed to $30k.
It was a devastating & extremely stressful few days.
I NEVER want to be in the position where I’m stressed about spending money like that on someone I love again.
I felt that keenly.
Motivation to grow you’d think.
Yet still I dragged my feet.
And then within weeks my mum was diagnosed with cancer.
My family is in Melbourne.
Currently if I’m not HERE, I do not earn money.
So true to ADHD form, the cogs started turning as soon as the pressure reached peak point & I had myself a very long & intimate date with Chat GPT and pumped out some serious work together. From there ideas & solutions flowed.

So whilst I’m having a very challenging year - I’m also having a pretty damn great one too.
I can be heart broken and still find peace and clarity in-between. 
I can be overwhelmed and fearful and still find direction and reasons to celebrate
I can be in utter despair and still know hope…
Because this is LIFE.
And I’ve trained damn hard to get to this level of living.
Resilient.
This is why we do the work.
So in the hard times you are not taken out.
So you can find the light in the darkest days
And another breath in the moments where you can barely breathe
Completely - even if excruciatingly uncomfortably, with it all.

Everyday we get to choose the life we want to create for our Selves
With each word we speak
Thought we think
Action we take
Dollar we invest
Time we give
Belief we embrace

And all of it is an act of Self Love
Or not

We choose

EVERY
SINGLE
DAY

The question is are you choosing consciously?

Your body always tells you…

Are you listening?

Stillness reveals so much
Silence brings answers
Which cannot be found in the noise of ‘doing’

💜

Not everyone will get you
Or understand you
Or like you
Especially if who you are
Makes them uncomfortable
They might even blame you
Talk badly of you
Disrespect you
No matter your intention
And they might just be someone you love…
They might be family
Be you anyway
Loudly
Proudly
Respectfully
Fk em!

I took a long loooong time to realise I don’t need approval
That I just need to be true to my Self
Bending to fit other people’s POV
Only made me unwell & resentful

You do you
And let them do them

Make peace with that
Zero expectations
100% Responsibility…

Still not fluent in that 🤣

Meh, I’m a work in progress

We all are
Be kind to your fabulous Self

HOPE

In the darkest of days
Finding even the tiniest moment
Of JOY
Of HOPE
Brings respite
Relief
And remembering
That nothing is permanent
And this too shall pass…

Having said THAT
It ain’t easy
I am have regularly found my Self
Up against it lately
With years of work
Under my belt
It absolutely has
Deepened my awareness
And understanding of Somatic work
And how truly grateful I am
To be willing to do the work
I don’t think I’d manage with the same knowledge I had or didn’t have 10 years ago let alone 20years ago.

Growth is optional
Self enquiry is optional
Suffering too is optional

Just like doing the physical training
Is an investment in an easier future
So too is the inner work.

We get to choose.

For those curious as to the relevance of the dragonfly, up here in Darwin the arrival en masse of the dragonflies marks the beginning of the glorious Dry season…and whilst they’ve only been sighted in small numbers this little guy is a sign of relief to come.

The felt sense…

I first learnt about the felt Sense maybe 15years ago
Through a chance meeting with a Woman who was a practitioner of a modality called Focusing
After a couple of sessions with Jo
I went on to study with her…

A few years later I discovered Breathwork
Again by chance whilst in Ubud
I sort out classes when I returned home
And again studied with my teacher Zeroum Law

Next came Yoga when I was gifted the opportunity to do Teacher Training with Amy Bracks
That lead to Yin Teacher Training & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Paul Archer

And in amongst that Covid happen & I went down a rabbit hole of courses and further study.

Many courses I abandoned but Embodied Processing with Matt Kaye & Ryan Hassan through the Centre for Healing I fell in love with

And over my time training & facilitating all the classes separately I eventually realised they are all connected

Most recently with my Yoga Asana practice after meeting a teacher who shifted my relationship to my body & practice so deeply he has become my mentor

All of this learning was driven by my own desire to heal
To FIX my Self
What I got was so much more…

I discovered freedom
And how to feel at home in my body
Peace

I wish this for everyone

I met Jen for the first time 2 weeks ago at Thursday morning Sunrise Yoga.

Today we chatted for ages & then decided to grab coffee and chat some more!

Jen is a Qi Gong instructor who is here from Broome for Wet Season with hubby & to visit her daughter- who coincidentally I know.
Further, some of her people live in the same little country town where some of my people live outside of Melbourne.
IN THE SAME STREET
Good old Muddy Gates Lane!
Yes it’s a long dirt road full of farms but we’re pretty certain they are very near each other.

But I digress…

If you’ve ever wanted to try the beautiful practice of Qi Gong
Or if you’re curious…
Join in every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday
Dip your toe in the water
With Jen
She’s a beautiful soul

It’s donation based
And all you need is YOU

Absolutely suitable for EVERY body.

See you there
We can coffee & magic after x

💜
