Melissa's Healing Space: Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation

02/03/2026

We are so excited to share that there are now only a handful of places remaining for the May 2026 Week-Long Nurturing Women’s Retreat 🌿✨

If this retreat has been quietly sitting in the back of your mind…
If you’ve found yourself thinking, maybe next time…
If you were waiting for a sign…

Consider this your sign 🤍

This retreat is for women who have been holding a lot.
Women who are ready to slow down.
Women who want space to truly rest — not just take time off.

Women moving through change, transition, or simply craving something steadier and more nourishing.

A full week devoted to your nervous system, your body, your learning, your rest 🌾
If May feels like the right timing, we would love to welcome you.

And if May isn’t possible, our September Weekend Nurturing Women’s Retreat is also open for bookings - a shorter but equally beautiful immersion 🌸

May is nearly full.
September is now open.

💖 Some love for the Pelvic floor awareness programme! 💖

🌸 The pelvic floor is not something to think about only when there is a problem.
It is a part of us that carries, supports and responds to every stage of a woman’s life. From puberty to pregnancy, from recovery to perimenopause and menopause, the pelvic floor is continually adapting and asking for our awareness.

🌸Nurturing pelvic floor health is about listening, understanding and responding with care rather than urgency or force. Through gentle movement, breath awareness and education, we can support balance, strength and softness where it is needed.

🌸This Pelvic Floor Awareness Programme was created to offer women a safe, respectful and accessible way to connect with their pelvic floor at any age or stage. A practice of awareness that can be returned to again and again, allowing the body to feel supported, informed and at ease.

New teachings/offerings that I am passionate about, a 2 hour pre recorded Pelvic Floor Awareness programme for women of all ages and stages.
Important to have in your daily self care regime, suitable also whether you are a beginner to yoga or experienced.
Pre recorded and brings you the same depth of care, knowledge, and embodiment that we share if in person, so you can join from anywhere, in your own time.

Tonight, I made the decision to light the Sydney Opera House with candles on the Menorah, marking the second day of Chanukah.
 
In the wake of this horrific attack, it is more important than ever that the Jewish community in NSW knows they do not stand alone.

We cannot, and we will not allow Jewish Australians to feel they must hide their faith, their traditions, their religious celebrations or their identity.

Lighting the Opera House is a simple but powerful gesture: a message to the world that we cherish our Jewish community, that we honour their courage, and that we stand with them in solidarity and love.

Tonight, those candles are a symbol of resilience and a reminder that even in darkness, we choose to stand with one another.

✨️I am so pleased to share more about our Nurturing Women’s Week-Long Retreat in May. This offering continues to grow and evolve, and we are already at half capacity which is wonderful to see.

🌸The programme this year feels beautifully spacious, allowing time to rest, practise and connect without hurry. I am especially excited for all of the new offerings for 2026 including women’s health education sessions, Ayurvedic cooking classes, herbal cream-making workshops, and the opportunity to add a one hour naturopathic consult as an additional support to your stay.

✨️It is such a special week held in nature, designed to replenish and restore you on every level.

Insightful read from my meditation teacher Ian Gawler

Seems we all become overloaded from time to time. What helps? What do you do? Having been in this situation myself recently, the latest blog post offers suggestions. When I spoke with Ruth after the post, she immediately added 2 more- prioritise and delegate. So any other bright ideas to add to the list?
