Smiling on the Inside

To All the Mummas…

Today, we honour you.

To the Mums doing the everyday magic,
the soon-to-be Mums holding life within,
the step Mummas and second Mums who choose love every day,
the Nannas, Grandmas, and matriarchs guiding generations with wisdom,
the aunties, big sisters, and mother figures who step in with open hearts,
the mothers of angels, whose love lives beyond time,
the women raising children not from their womb, but from their soul—
and to our Mother Earth, who holds us all.

You are the heartbeat, the safe place, the warrior, the nurturer,
the one who shows up even when it’s hard.

Today, we celebrate every shape of motherhood.
The loud, the soft, the messy, the sacred.
The tears, the joy, the growth, the giving.

You are seen.
You are celebrated.
You are loved.

Happy Mother’s Day, beautiful souls.

From all of us at Smiling on the Inside.

Smiling on the inside

10/05/2025

At Smiling on the Inside, we don’t just use aromatherapy…
We weave it.
Into every breath. Every layer. Every moment of care.

From the moment you arrive, scent is already holding you.

The diffuser greets you with grounding notes to soften your nervous system.

Beautifully scented hot towels wrap around your skin — calming, warming, deeply regulating.

A guided Aroma Journey invites you to pause, breathe, and feel which oils your body responds to most.

Each session is gently supported by essential oils chosen for both their olfactory effect and their therapeutic properties — calming the vagus nerve, supporting the limbic system, anchoring emotional safety.

We use aromatherapy as a bridge:
Between breath and body.
Between nervous system and heart.
Between what’s happening outside… and what’s happening deep within.

Because healing isn’t just physical.
It’s sensory.
It’s energetic.
It’s felt.

And scent is one of the most powerful tools we have to guide that journey gently, safely, and beautifully.

Come and experience the aroma-led healing we’re known for.
It’s more than just a scent — it’s a ceremony.

At Smiling on the Inside, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation.
We hold the whole person — the nervous system, the emotional body, the energy field, the physical body, and the soul.

Here, healing might look like:

A warm foot soak and grounding scrub

Gentle breathwork to soothe the vagus nerve

Guided aromatherapy journeys to regulate through scent

Somatic movement and stillness to reconnect you to your body

Deep, therapeutic massage and sacred touch

Meditation and nervous system education

Quiet, co-regulated presence and compassionate mentoring

Emotional literacy, creativity, and reflection

Sacred rituals of rest, care, and return

Whether you enter through massage, a support circle, a healing journey, or breathwork…
you are met with softness, professionalism, and sacred intention.

This is not about fixing you.
It’s about holding space for you to remember who you are.

Welcome to Smiling on the Inside.
You are safe here.
You are whole here.
You are home.

It's been a while since I've introduced myself in this space.

Who I Am
My name is Tahlia Astley, and I am an Integrative Therapist passionate about nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and soul reconnection.

I weave together therapeutic modalities including:

Breathwork (Pranayama)

Somatic Movement and Embodied Regulation

Therapeutic Yoga (Sacred Movement, Mana Flow, Mantra)

Aromatherapy Emotional Support

Healing Through Hands

Creative Crafting for Emotional Processing

Nervous System Education and Bottom-Up Healing Practices

Organic Skin Therapies to support the skins natural functions for optimal health and radiance.

I am also a qualified Massage Therapist with 20 years of experience in a wide range of healing modalities including:

Relaxation Massage

Therapeutic/Remedial Massage

Aromatherapy Massage

Pregnancy Massage

Oncology Massage

Tibetan Healing Massage

Hot Stone Therapy

Sacred Tantra-Inspired Bodywork

Each massage is adapted to meet the physical, emotional, and energetic needs of the client, offering a deeply nurturing and restorative experience.

My yoga practice is rooted in its original philosophy — a sacred path of union, inner awareness, and connection to life force energy. Through the integration of pranayama (breath), mantra (sound), and asana (movement), yoga becomes a living ritual of embodiment, regulation, and healing.

I offer therapeutic yoga for adults as well as specialised yoga for children with additional needs. My children’s yoga sessions are sensory-aware, trauma-sensitive, playful, and gently structured to support neurodivergent bodies and minds. These practices help develop emotional literacy, body awareness, regulation skills, and self-esteem.

My work supports the whole person — body, breath, mind, skin, spirit, and emotional health — through a holistic, evidence-informed and energetically attuned model. Every offering is designed to restore safety, self-connection, and resilience.

I integrate sensory, emotional, and communication adaptations to support a wide range of clients, including neurodivergent individuals and families, without making it the focus. All care is rooted in honoring each person's unique experience and nervous system expression.

I am deeply committed to creating spaces where healing doesn’t ask you to change who you are —
It invites you to come home to yourself, safely, gently, and with sacred care.

At Smiling on the Inside, you are not just supported —
You are seen.
You are understood.
You are honored.

This is healing for the whole self:
Body. Breath. Emotions. Spirit. Family. Community.

You are welcome exactly as you are.
And it would be an honor to walk beside you.
