Yoga Teacher | Ayurveda Wellness Coach | Abhyanga Massage | Business Coach + Website Designer You're here! Welcome!

My name is Raewyn, I am a Mother, Yogi and Business Coach. My intention is to educate and build community through movement, breath work and spiritual connection. I use my extensive training and in-depth understanding of the human body and psyche to teach and cultivate awareness of one’s own practice and life process. I weave this knowledge through my coaching to support you in reaching your goals in life and business.

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. I also work within preschools and playgroups and treasure the opportunity to introduce the ancient concepts of yoga to children and their families..

This preparation was for a beautiful client today. I love the ritual of foraging herbs, purifying them and then preparing the poultice.

Pinda Sveda (herbal poultice therapy) is a treatment where warm bundles of medicinal herbs are rhythmically pressed and worked into the body.

This is where stagnation meets movement and where heaviness begins to lift.

Traditionally used in Ayurveda, Pinda Sveda supports the body in a very specific way:

– encourages circulation through the superficial and deeper tissues
– assists in breaking down ama (toxicity) held in the joints and muscles
– supports lymphatic movement and gentle detoxification
– reduces stiffness, swelling, and chronic tension
– nourishes while it draws out, a rare and intelligent dual action It’s both grounding and activating.

The oil builds ojas, that deep reserve of vitality and resilience. The heat and herbs mobilise what no longer needs to stay.

This combination is where the magic lives. Not forcing the body to detox… but preparing it, supporting it, and then gently guiding it there.

Sessions available now.

Most people meet Yin Yoga through the mood of it, the soft light, the props, the quiet spaces. And yes… that’s part of it, but it’s not the practice.

The practice is in the moment you’re not sure what to do next.
Do I stay, or is it time to come out? Is this useful sensation, or just pushing? Do I soften here, or support more?

That’s where Yin actually lives. Not in how it looks… but in how you respond. Over time, it becomes less about being still
and more about learning how to listen.

This is the space we spend time in inside the training.
The part that often gets missed. If you’ve felt this gap in your own practice or teaching, this training will meet you there.

There’s a lot moving through the world right now. You can feel it in conversations, in headlines, even at the petrol pump.

But here’s the thing I keep coming back to — we don’t just live in the world… we participate in shaping it.

In YTT this week, many of our conversations centred around the role we play in our own suffering, how leaning into fear and uncertainty can deepen that sense of suffering in our day-to-day experience of the world.

That matters….

While prices rise and uncertainty lingers, I’m choosing to lean the other way. Less fear, instead I’m choosing more love…. Less scarcity, I’m choosing compassion and connection.

As a small offering to my community, I’m sharing a 10% code across all sessions, including Ayurvedic bodywork like abhyanga, and consultations.

Because how we show up in times like this becomes the world we experience.

If you’re needing a treatment or consultation but don’t currently have the financial means, please reach out via private message. I would truly love to support you.

If you’d like the 10% code, comment LOVE below and I’ll send it through.

In love and service to you…

Equinox blessings to you dear one…

Autumn equinox marks the moment we move from the outward, expansive energy of summer into something more inward, reflective, and grounding.

In Āyurveda, this is where ritucharya comes in, our ‘seasonal rituals and practices’ that support our body, mind and energy, as the world around us shifts.

It’s the practice of adjusting how we eat, move, and care for ourselves in response to what’s happening in nature. Because the same forces shaping the seasons are shaping us too.

When we ignore these shifts, we tend to feel it… dryness, anxiety, poor digestion, low energy. When we move with them, things feel steadier. More supported.

So what does that actually look like right now?

Slow things down a little, you don’t need the same output as summer. Honour the natural pull inward.

Favour warm, cooked meals. Think soups, stews, root vegetables, gentle spices. This supports digestion as the air becomes cooler and drier.

Bring back oil. Self-abhyanga (oil massage) is your best friend here. It nourishes the skin, calms the nervous system, and grounds Vata.

Create rhythm in your day. This looks like regular mealtimes, consistent sleep, steady routines. This is medicine for the body right now.

Soften your movement. Try swapping intense, fast-paced workouts for yoga, walking, or slower strength work.

Protect your energy. Autumn is not the season to be scattered everywhere. Be a little more discerning with where you give your time.

There’s something really beautiful about this time of year. it invites us to come back to ourselves, to simplify, to listen a little more closely.

Remember, you don’t need to overhaul your life, begin by meeting the season where it is.

I am thrilled to introduce Samyra King as my support for our April Yoga and Āyurveda Retreat.

Samyra is a yoga teacher, intuitive, and Reiki Master whose warmth invites a sense of safety, allowing people to slow down and feel at ease. Samyra comes from a lineage of healers, which inspired her path into Yoga and Reiki, and draws on that influence to guide her practice.

Samyra offers small group yoga classes in Camden, as well as one-on-one yoga and individual healing sessions. The wellbeing and empowerment of others is a great passion of Samyra’s and holding space for growth and connection is her strength.

When she’s not working with clients, you’ll often find Samyra in the garden or with a musical instrument in hand.

Make sure you follow her for updates on her offerings at

Still one room available for April retreat. All the details at www.raewynfernandez.com.au

There’s a kind of learning that only happens when you’re in it.

Not reading about it. Not watching it. Actually sitting in the room, paying attention, feeling your way through it.

Last month in Byron I spent a few days with my teacher Dylan refining Ayurvedic bodywork. Not just the techniques, but the subtleties… the pace, the pressure, the way you listen through your hands.

It’s always a reminder that this work isn’t about doing more or doing it perfectly. It’s about understanding how the body responds when you meet it with the right kind of attention.

The systems themselves are incredibly intelligent. When you work with them properly, things begin to shift without force. The nervous system settles. Circulation improves. The body starts doing what it’s designed to do.

I came home feeling both grounded and inspired. There’s more I’ll be bringing into my treatments and into the way I teach.

Many of the symptoms people struggle with today aren’t random: poor sleep… fatigue… anxiety… inflammation. They’re often signs of a nervous system that hasn’t had space to settle.

Yoga and Ayurveda were developed as systems of regulation long before we had language for the nervous system. They remind the body how to return to balance.

This is the foundation of everything I teach. If this kind of work speaks to you, there are several ways to step in over the coming months.

In the classical Ayurvedic texts, daily oil massage, Abhyanga, is recommended as a way to slow the processes of ageing. Not because it’s a luxury ritual, but because of what it does physiologically.

Warm oil and rhythmic massage stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow, nourish the tissues, lubricate the joints and calm the nervous system.

Over time this supports:
– healthier skin elasticity
– stronger joints and bones
– better sleep and nervous system regulation
– improved circulation to the brain

Modern research is beginning to catch up, showing that massage can help lower cortisol, support parasympathetic nervous system activity and improve circulation to the brain.

This Saturday I’m teaching a Self-Abhyanga workshop, where I’ll guide you through how to practice this ancient daily ritual at home, including how to choose oils for your constitution and the simple massage sequence you can realistically integrate into your routine.

There are only 3 places left for this weekend’s workshop.

If you’re interested in supporting your body, brain and nervous system as you age, this is a beautiful practice to learn now and carry with you for life.

The women who have fortified me, nourished me, lifted me and loved me through every season.

My incredible mother.
My grandmothers and aunties who laid the foundations long before I understood what they were building.
My sisters and sister-in-law.
My step-mother and my mother-in-law, who have each brought their own wisdom, strength and care into my life.

And my beautiful daughter…

When I look at her, I’m reminded of the responsibility we all carry in shaping the future for women. The responsibility to use our voices to advocate and protect, to keep pushing for a world that is safer, kinder and more compassionate.

And to the women I hold close to my heart, my dearest friends. You inspire me every day with your kindness, your courage, your humour and your strength.

It is this connection, this community of women, that carries us through life. The reason the darker days can be endured, and the sunshine celebrated a little more brightly.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Two rooms left.

That’s it.

In a few weeks we’ll gather in Byron Bay, tucked between rainforest and ocean, for four days of slowing down in a world that rarely asks us to. No rushing. No constant notifications. Just space to breathe, move, rest and remember what it feels like to be fully in your body again.

This retreat isn’t about doing more. It’s about unwinding the nervous system, nourishing the body, and reconnecting with the quiet intelligence within you.

Think slow mornings with yoga and meditation, nourishing food, Ayurvedic practices, deep rest, meaningful conversation and the kind of stillness that stays with you long after you return home.

If something in you has been whispering that you need a pause… this might be it.

Two rooms remain for our Byron Bay Retreat. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
