I have a passion for women's health and working with children. This is at the root of many of my practices with an emphasis on supporting women through prenatal care, birthing and beyond.

When I place my hands over someone’s heart in Abhyanga, the whole room shifts.
Breath deepens.
The mind softens.
The nervous system remembers its own intelligence.

Ayurveda teaches that steadiness comes from anchoring; warm oil, slow breath, touch that reminds the body it doesn’t have to brace anymore. December can scatter Vata and leave us feeling ungrounded, overwhelmed, or strangely “not in ourselves.”

This is your reminder that regulation doesn’t have to be complicated. A hand over the heart, a slow exhale, a moment of warmth… it changes everything.

If your system is calling for deep nourishment as the year closes, I’m here.
Gift vouchers available too, because rest is the kindest gift we can offer.

The festive season is well on its way… Bright days, full calendars, long drives, late nights, heat that lingers, and emotions that sit a little closer to the surface. It’s beautiful, but it can also be depleting. The nervous system spends so much of December in a quiet hum of fight-or-flight: juggling plans, holding family dynamics, overstimulating the senses, pushing through when the body is asking for gentler rhythms.

Abhyanga is one of the antidotes. Warm oil, slow intentional strokes, and rhythmic movements that tell your whole being, you can soften now. It steadies Vata, soothes the vagus nerve, quiets the stress response, and brings you back into a state of grounded presence.

As Christmas approaches and the summer energy builds, this practice becomes even more supportive. If you’re feeling stretched, scattered, or running on reserves, Abhyanga can help restore the vitality you’ve been pouring out all year.

And if someone you love is moving through the same tenderness or exhaustion, you can gift them a voucher to experience this deeply nourishing treatment themselves.

The season may be full, but your body doesn’t have to be overwhelmed. Let yourself be replenished.

We all know the physical body; muscles, bones, joints, breath.
But beneath that visible layer is another landscape entirely… a network of membranes, energy pathways, emotional imprints, and nervous-system currents that shape how we feel, move, react, and heal.

Yoga calls this your subtle body. Ayurveda calls it the layer where mind, breath, and energy meet.

When you start paying attention, you can sense it:
that tightness behind the heart when you’re overwhelmed,
the heaviness in the belly after too much stimulation,
the buzzing in the temples when your mind is scattered.

In next year’s Ayurveda + Subtle Body Teacher Training, we explore this hidden architecture, not as theory, but as lived experience.

Here’s a simple map to start tuning into your own inner terrain.

Ask yourself now….
Where in my body does energy feel stuck, slow, or heavy?
Where does it feel light, open, or flowing?

Your awareness is the doorway to deeper practice.
Your body always whispers first.

Today, I had the immense pleasure of sitting with a friend, mentor and teacher, Karl Palin. He joined me at the table and opened the door to his personal journey into yoga, the real kind, the kind that arrives when life is whispering (or shouting) for another way.

We spoke about what this practice is and what it is not. We explored the moment he felt called to teach, and the deeper motivation behind mentoring the next generation of teachers. Karl shared honestly about burnout, about the slow unravel that becomes a path, and about the self-care rhythms that keep him steady: his own dinacharya, his daily rituals, the small choices that rebuild a life.

And we looked ahead to what’s on the horizon for One Big Heart.

This conversation holds grit, tenderness, and a very human kind of wisdom.

The episode drops later this week….

How are you feeling?

The pace of late-year living has a way of tugging at all our seams. Deadlines, school concerts, social events, emotional fatigue… the body feels every bit of it.

Abhyanga and Ayurvedic bodywork were designed for seasons like this. Warm medicated oils meet tired nerve endings, coaxing the whole system back into steadiness. Slow rhythmic strokes tell the vagus nerve, you are safe now. Circulation improves. Muscles soften. The mind loosens its grip on the year’s tension.

When the body is bathed in oil, something quiet and ancient happens: the digestive fire strengthens, the nervous system steadies, and the hormonal pathways return to their natural rhythm. This is why these treatments are often called “liquid nourishment.” They gently detox without depletion. They prepare the body for renewal rather than pushing it into survival mode.

And as we edge toward 2026, I have only a small handful of appointments left for Abhyanga and Ayurvedic bodywork. If your system is asking for grounding, recalibration, or a breath of softness before the year ends, this may be your moment.

Your body remembers how to return to harmony. These treatments simply help you hear the remembering.

Limited December + January spaces now open.

Three spots remain for this Sunday’s Ayurveda Cooking Workshop.

Sunday 23rd of November
11am - 2pm
Thirlmere NSW

There’s something beautifully grounding about learning to nourish yourself the way the sages intended, through simplicity, warmth, and attention. Across the dhatus, the seven tissue layers that shape your physical and emotional vitality, food becomes a quiet medicine. This workshop is an invitation to understand that relationship in a hands-on, deeply embodied way.

We’ll make ghee, brew kitchari, and explore why these humble staples have supported cleansing, healing, and replenishment for thousands of years. No harsh detoxing, no depletion, just a gentle reset for anyone who’s been craving clarity, steadiness, and a softer way back to themselves.

If your body has been whispering for nourishment, this is a beautiful place to begin.

Yesterday, I sat with one of my teachers, Myra Lewin, listening to her speak on Āyurveda and the six stages of disease. I am always taken by her grace, grounded wisdom, and clarity.

It was not lost on me that we also sat beneath the quiet gaze of Shiva, the destroyer and transformer. I felt an invitation to let the past fall away, to burn through old stories, habits, and attachments that keep the body and mind in cycles of dis-ease.

In Ayurveda, we come to understand that true health begins not just with herbs or diet, but with courage… the courage to destroy what no longer serves, and to step into a new chapter of self-care and conscious living.

A sacred ending that marks a beautiful beginning.

Does living an Ayurvedic and yogic life mean everything is soft, serene, and untouched by chaos? Not at all.

These teachings don’t promise calm, they teach us how to return to it. They remind us that the path is not about escaping the storm, but learning to stand in the rain with grace.

Sometimes, walking in alignment can be confronting for those still searching for theirs.
Your peace may hold up a mirror.
Your light might stir the shadows.
And yes, that can be lonely.

But even here, we practice.
We breathe instead of bite.
We choose compassion when it would be easier to close.
We remember that love is the higher discipline.

Ayurveda and yoga aren’t about being untouched by life,
they’re about being fully in it,
anchored in truth,
awake in every moment.

Even when the whispers rise,
we stay in devotion.
