Transformational Events & 1:1 Mentoring

10/10/2025

Every month I journey deeply with the theme we’re exploring at . Not always intentionally… usually life has a mysterious way of delivering me the lessons I need so that I can more deeply embody the chosen topic before sharing it with others.

This month our theme is the sacral chakra and a friend asked me about how my journey had been with it…

At first I thought I hadn’t really journeyed with it and felt confused because usually the monthly theme shows up SO strongly.

When I think of the sacral chakra I think of sensuality and creativity 🧡 This month, I feel like my creativity has been offline and while sensuality has been present, it hasn’t felt like I’ve gone to new depths with it.

Then I remembered, the sacral chakra is associated with the element of water 🌊

Water is associated with emotions… and boy have the emotions been coming up for me this month. I have been riding big waves of emotion. Traversing deep sadness, grief, anger, frustration, confusion and more. Releasing almost daily in the way of tears 💧 So much has bubbled up since India!

It made so much sense when it clicked! I thought I hadn’t journeyed with the sacral, I just hadn’t journeyed with it in the way that I expected, or had hoped.

So, as we head into our monthly transformational event this evening, I see the ways that I have descended… more into my body, more into my emotions. Becoming more embodied in all that I teach.

When we think of the spiritual journey, we often think of ascension. But what I have come to learn is that descent is just as important. As above, so below. The deeper I can go into the depths of my body, the higher I can rise in consciousness.

I love that we’re descending through the chakras this time around and that as we do so, I have been descending too. Bringing the ethereal into the material. Anchoring spirit more deeply into the human.

Through this descent, through the release and purges I’ve experienced, through my connection to my body and emotions, I become a clearer channel for the divine 🕊️

Can’t wait to share another powerful evening with the community tonight!

I wasn’t expecting to have so much growth of my own on this India retreat 🤯

As a support space holder, the trip photographer / videographer and doing less of the spiritual practice than the retreat participants (but still 2-4 hours per day), I underestimated the transformation I myself would receive!

I don’t even know if I can adequately put it into words…

The increased self awareness
The wounds that arose for healing
The patterns and conditioning that I watched play out
The emotional release and processing
The deep connection and bonds that were formed
The authenticity and truth that was shared
The challenges we faced individually and as a collective

It was DEEPLY healing and I got SO much from it ❤️

I’m beyond grateful for the advanced tools and timeless wisdom we received from throughout the retreat. As if Vedic Meditation wasn’t already powerful enough, this has taken things to a whole other level!!

After being immersed in the practices and wisdom for the 10 days, I can really see how they will (and already are) contributing to me living a life of deep fulfilment.

I was initiated as a Vedic Meditator around a year ago and have seen so much value in the practice, but if I’m being completely honest I’ve still had a lot of resistance to my daily practice and seen it as more of a chore.

After this retreat, my view of it has completely shifted. Now, not only do I feel excited to continue and deepen my practice, it feels like an absolutely fundamental part of my life… especially if I want to live a life of fulfilment, freedom, love, peace, connection and authenticity! (Which I absolutely do).

Vedic meditation, the Vedic wisdom and the advanced practices are absolutely life changing and I feel like I want to scream it from the rooftops so you can receive the immense benefits too 📣

Feeling so so grateful for , this incredible retreat, the Vedic wisdom and spiritual tools, the beautiful souls I journeyed alongside and the sacred land it all unfolded on!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏

Can’t wait to do it all again next year !

Living my dream life right now!

In India, supporting my amazing fiancé on his retreat (which is at the most beautiful venue, with the most delicious food and the most amazing group of people), getting to capture the magic of this experience through my camera lens, learning deep spiritual wisdom, healing and spending lots of time in spiritual practice 🧘🏻‍♀️

The craziest thing is, I started living my dream life when I stopped chasing it. When I stopped focusing on my external reality and instead focused on my internal reality. When I made fulfillment my priority!

So grateful for this incredible chapter and what’s to come for and I ❤️

One of my intentions this year was ‘life artistry’ which involves making my life a work of art. Funnily enough I’ve been feeling so lit up by making art again - in my case photography and videography 📸

Absolutely loving what’s been captured of this retreat so far! I’ll be sharing heaps of the retreat pics and behind the scenes over on

Now excuse me while I go bask in the beauty of this experience 🥰

Also, how cute are we in our matching outfits! The amount of times we accidentally dress the same is wild

Absolutely loving our time in India so far! 🇮🇳

Our first week, we stayed down south in a town called Vellore, at a Holistic Ayurvedic Centre and Ashram devoted to Amma, the reincarnation of Narayani (the divine mother).

While our time here consisted of a lot of rest and rejuvenation time so that could recover from the sickness he got the night before our flight, we did a whole heap of epic things too!

🛕I experienced my first Hindu Ceremony, known as a Pooja! We watched a special Vishnu Abhishekam and Aarti on a giant statue of this diety.

🧎🏻‍♀️Watched another couple of Pooja ceremonies performed by Amma - one at her house and another at a Narayani temple nearby. It was beautiful to see her level of presence and devotion in these ceremonies.

🙏 Met Amma, the goddess incarnate herself and was blessed by her!

⭐️ Explored the golden temple and all of the beautiful temples within this complex, including the ‘star path’, which goes around it and is literally in the shape of a giant star.

⚱️ Woke up at 4:30am one morning to attend a Lakshmi Pooja and get all the abundance codes.

🐘 Visited a temple dedicated to Ganesha.

🐮 Watched a ceremony dedicated to a cow and another dedicated to an elephant. We also got blessed by an elephant in one of the temples!

💆🏻‍♀️ I got an Abhyanga massage, a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage.

🍛 Ate lots of delicious Indian / Ayurvedic food. Including the Prasad (blessed food) from the ceremonies we attended, some of which is pictured here.

🧘‍♀️ And of course kept up our regular meditation practice, which we’ve ramped up in preparation for our retreat starting on the 7th.

I’ll be sharing a vlog with lots of the behind the scenes from our time here. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to be notified when it goes live!

Now, we’re spending a few days exploring Rishikesh before we kick off the Advanced Spiritual Retreat is running and I’m supporting.

I recently completed another Rose Dieta, this time journeying with the wisdom of this beautiful plant for 3 weeks 🌹

To say rose dietas have been life changing for me is no exaggeration. I’ve gained so much from creating the spaciousness and stillness to tune into her energy, wisdom and guidance.

This time around, I vlogged the whole experience and theres a 3-part series over on my YouTube channel.

In part 1, I introduce this sacred journey, sharing what a rose dieta actually is, what it involves and an insight into my intentions for this one ✨

Part 2 takes you behind the scenes of a day in the life when I was on this dieta. This was a beautifully spacious day when I was away in Hepburn surrounded by nature and all of the elements 🌿

Last but not least, part 3 breaks down the lessons and learnings that I experienced this time around, as well as an insight into some of the biggest take aways I got from my last dieta with rose ❤️‍🔥

I had so much fun documenting this journey and am loving having this new creative outlet. Head over to the channel to get all of this inside scoop!

Grateful for the powerful wisdom of this master teacher and so excited for the changes and shifts this dieta brought about

Love this snap from two weeks ago today! It was taken at the last at , while I take a sacred pause, complete my rose dieta and prepare to head over to India for a month ✨

I ran at every Tuesday night for 10 months, from the start of October 2024, to the end of July this year, with the exception of only a few weeks. That’s over 40 events 🤩

I’m so grateful for all of the incredible evenings we shared. From the nights with only one person in the room, to those with a full house! I appreciate every single person that walked through that door, whether just once or numerous times. Definitely missing this beautiful community already 💜

I personally got SO much from a weekly shake off and saw so much growth within myself, with the health of my nervous system, with my emotional fitness and with my personal expression.

& I know I wasn’t alone, I got an abundance of incredible feedback from community members about how these events impacted them on so many levels 🥹

I mean, who doesn’t love a safe space to scream, punch pillows, throw tantrums, sob, growl, laugh, play, feel, shake and dance?!

Shake It Off is a celebration of authentic expression, a reclamation of the full spectrum of human emotions and a return home to ourselves.

I’m not sure what will happen with the at , I’m really tuning in to what my next chapter holds (more updates coming soon), but for now I’m still running them every Saturday morning at Saint Haven 💃🏻

Did you come along to one of these special events? Please make yourself known in the comments 😍

After months in a death and rebirth portal… being called to wait, reflect, pause, hibernate…So much has shifted. So much is changing….

This phoenix is rising!

There is so much to update you on…

🌹 I’m in the midst of my second rose dieta.
To say it’s been life-changing is an understatement…

⏸ I’m taking a sacred pause.
I’ve created space to stop and listen, Which means all business activity is paused.

🌪 Shake it Off at COY is on hold.
Part of my sacred pause means taking a break from my weekly Tuesday night classes.

🎥 I entered my content creator era and started a vlog!
After the longest time thinking about it, I decided to do something about it and am now posting vlogs over on my YouTube channel.

🌊 I spent a few days down the Great Ocean in a creative portal.
The amount of epic shifts and I had is wild, watch these spaces.

📸 I’m getting back behind the lens.
I’m playing with photography again and I’m excited to shoot my first retreat next month! I’ll be posting more of my photography over on

I’ll share more detailed updates into each of these over the coming week, so stay tuned for those.

There are other things changing, including some which I can’t share quite yet 🤫 But all I’ll say for now is I am feeling so excited, inspired and aligned.

For now, I’m off on another nature retreat in Hepburn tomorrow afternoon with !

Oh and the next is this weekend, yay 💃🏻

And I get to see my love (for 6 hours) on Wednesday after 3 weeks apart!!!

Let me know in the comments which update/s you’re most excited to hear more about…

Stepping into 33 🪽

Remembering how much of a miracle it is to be ALIVE. To be here, living, breathing, feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, talking, singing, dancing, walking, running, moving, sitting, experiencing. What an absolute gift!

Choosing to live with gratitude for this miracle of life 🎁

Remembering that I am divinity, in human form. Human and divine. Spirit and matter. A spiritual being having a human experience.

& with this remembrance, choosing to live in such a way.

To live with reverence and devotion.
LIFE AS A CEREMONY ✨

With my body as the altar.
My heart as the compass, guiding the way.
❤️🧭

Declaring this year to be one of magic and miracles. Because magic and miracles are literally everywhere, when we allow ourselves to see it. When we open up to them.

This year I’m playing in the limitless 💫
The infinite potential. The unseen. The mystery. The subtle realms. The energetics.

& also the physical. The matter, the material world. The WHOLE human. The light and the shadow. Riding the waves of life.

Holding the duality.
Fully human & fully divine.

Present, open and alive.

Here’s to a year of fulfilment first. Choosing presence, gratitude, love, peace, authenticity, truth and connection.

& having a whole lot of fun in the process!

It’s Leo season and this lioness is about to turn it up 🦁

Happy 3 year anniversary (for yesterday) my love ❤️

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to do life by your side!

You have the biggest heart, are wise beyond your years, are such a powerful leader and are such an incredible example of a healthy, safe masculine presence.

We’re going to India! 🇮🇳

I’m so excited and grateful to be taking part in an Advanced Spiritual Retreat run by my incredible partner between the 7th-17th of September, up near Rishikesh.

India has been on my bucket list for a long while and I’ve always wanted to head over there to deepen into the spiritual wisdom this sacred land holds 🧘🏻‍♀️

After being initiated into the Vedic meditation lineage last year, I’ve enjoyed deepening my practice and learning from the Vedic tradition. I know this whole India experience is going to be so potent for my spiritual embodiment and I can’t wait to learn the advanced techniques Ryan will be sharing at the retreat.

I’ll be attending Ryan’s ‘Awaken in India’ Retreat as a participant, emotional support coach and the trip photographer! 📸 So excited to be re-incorporating photography back into my life and what an epic opportunity to capture the magic of this beautiful offering.

Before the retreat begins, Ryan and I will also be visiting the ashram that he spent 3-months at last year learning to be a Vedic meditation teacher. Can’t wait to dive into the Ayurvedic treatments here and attend a whole lot of sacred ceremonies 📿

If you’ve ever been to Rishikesh and have any tips of things to do/see, please let me know in the comments 🙏

& if you’re keen to join us on the retreat in India - DM me or . We’d love to share it with you!
