Last night’s Gemini Supermoon felt like a cosmic exhale - a bright, expansive release at the close of a chapter.

The supermoon’s energy amplifies everything. If you felt a sudden surge of clarity, a rush of forgotten words, or a deep need to speak your truth… that was its gift. It illuminated the space between thought and expression, between what we carry and what we are finally free to put down.

Now, as the moon wanes, we integrate. We take that clarity and plant it in the quiet soil of our intentions.

Did you feel it?

As we enter the last month of the year, it's easy to get caught up in the momentum of feelings in our day. But amidst the rush, the expectations, and the noise, remember the profound wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh: "The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion."

Your to-do list can wait a moment. The holiday rush will still be there. Right now, just breathe. Feel your feet on the ground. Listen to the quiet hum of your own being.

This is your anchor. Not in the chaos around you, but in the stillness you can cultivate within. This is where your true power resides.

Wishing you a month of gentle presence. 🙏

Biodynamic Craniosacral Psychotherapy is a gentle, hands-on somatic approach that listens to the deepest rhythms of the body. It operates on the principle that beneath the stories of trauma and stress, the body possesses an innate, organic wisdom - a sense of safe that is always present and orienting toward resolution.

I wholeheartedly treasure every moment I get to receive as a student. It always feel like such a nourishing experience when I can sit on the floor, raise my hands and download wisdoms from my teachers.

My body feels lighter, my mind is more clear, I sleep deeper and my soul feels home.

Deep healing happens when you become conscious to the Order of Love in Family Constellation and truly allow yourself to receive.

On my last day at Rishikesh, I took a morning walk to bid my gratitude to Mother Ganges. I was invited to multiple temples along my way to the river bank; met a beautiful Rajastanian family who kindly offered to fill up bottles for me to take holy water home; sipping chai, saying goodbyes to the locals. People here are genuinely kind, caring and protective.

It all felt so natural and authentic.

The human to human connection helps to liberate all conditioning.

I feel connected within myself.

The wounds of childhood don't always leave visible scars.

When a child is regularly screamed at, shamed, or criticised, they cannot process it with logic. Their developing brain does not have the capacity. Instead, they feel it - deeply and viscerally - in their nervous system.

This chronic stress becomes the blueprint. It shapes brain development, wiring a child for survival, not for safety. Their system learns to be on high alert, to anticipate threat, to please and appease. It is a brilliant, adaptive response to an overwhelming environment.

Years later, we give these brilliant survival strategies clinical names: anxiety, depression, complex trauma. We pathologize the symptom, often missing the root - a child who was simply trying to find a way to survive with the tools they had.

Our early world writes the first, deepest language of our nervous system. But it does not have to be the final word. Healing begins when we meet these old, protective parts not as disorders, but as wise, young guardians. It’s the gentle, somatic work of teaching the nervous system, breath by breath, that the danger has passed. That safety is possible now.

Te Rerenga Wairua, Cape Reinga - where the land itself is a threshold between worlds.

Here, the wind carries more than sea spray; it carries the whispers of a thousand spirits on their final journey home. Māori tradition tells us this is the leaping place, where the soul descends the roots of an ancient pōhutukawa into the ocean below, beginning its voyage back to the ancestral homeland of Hawaiki.

This isn't just a story. It is the living memory of the land. You can feel it in the wild, meeting currents of the Tasman and Pacific, and in the evidence of centuries of human settlement who understood this place's sacredness.

From the great navigator Kupe who named this pathway, to the lighthouse that now stands as a silent guardian, this land breathes with layers of history. It is a place that reminds us we are all part of a vast, interconnected story, walking on a land that holds the footsteps of ancestors.

To stand here is to be humbled. To listen is to hear the soul of Aotearoa.

Mental health is not a landscape lived only from the neck up. It is a full-body experience, orchestrated by the wise, often unheard, whispers of your nervous system.

When your body feels safe, your mind can finally rest. This is the foundation of all true healing.

Family Constellation Therapy ✨

It's to remember what your body sounds like when it is no longer speaking the language of inheritance.

To feel a breath that is entirely, unquestionably your own.

This is the homecoming that awaits.

Still feeling the gentle hum of Saturday’s gong bath - the collective quiet, the shared breath, the sacred pause we created together on the lawn outside The Concourse.

A deep bow of gratitude to every soul who showed up. To those who arrived curious, who settled into the mats, and who allowed the sound to guide them home to themselves - thank you.

There’s a special kind of magic in gathering as strangers and leaving as a quiet community, hearts a little softer, nervous systems a little calmer.

It’s an honor to hold this space for you. May the resonance carry you gently into the week ahead.
