Raewyn Fernandez

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..

As my children return to school this week, I am thoughtfully wandering into the year ahead. I’m not prepared to say ‘wow this year went so quick’ at the end of it….

I am showing up, present and connected. I am refining my work to ensure that everything is in alignment and in deep reverence to myself and the community I serve.

The offerings that I am sharing this year are potent and come from a place of healing and nourishment. They are the offerings that I needed when I was surviving burnout, healing and feeling disconnected and isolated. These offerings all start with Byron retreat this year. There are only two rooms left. If you have been looking to join us, make sure you get in touch…

In Ayurveda, that “something” you feel missing has a name: Ojas.

Ojas is your deep reserve. Not energy you hype up with caffeine. Not motivation you force… It’s the quiet glow behind your eyes. The steadiness in your nervous system. The feeling that you’re resourced enough to meet life without bracing. (This is the biggest one for me!!)

When Ojas is strong, you feel:
• resilient, even under pressure
• warm, grounded, emotionally steady
• able to recover instead of constantly needing to “push through”

When Ojas is low, it looks like:
• getting sick easily
• feeling wired but tired
• irritability, anxiety, poor sleep
• a sense that life feels heavier than it should

Here’s the part that matters most: Ojas is built slowly. And it’s lost quickly…

Late nights, constant stimulation, under-eating, over-giving, never resting properly, all of it quietly drains your reserves.

So how do you rebuild your Ojas?
Warm meals.
Regular rhythms.
Enough sleep to actually restore you.
Touch. Stillness. Feeling safe in your body again.

Ojas doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from being nourished, consistently. And when it’s there, you don’t feel invincible… You feel whole.

Only 6 spots left for our Byron Bay Āyurveda and Yoga Retreat.

16-19th April
Byron Bay NSW
(All Inclusive Retreat)

Somewhere beneath the rushing, the planning, the holding-it-all-together, there is a quieter part of you that knows when it’s time to pause.

This Byron Bay retreat isn’t about fixing yourself or learning how to “do” yoga properly. It’s an invitation to step out of the noise and into a few days that feel spacious, grounded, and human.

Days shaped by simple rhythms.
Food that nourishes rather than stimulates.
Movement that listens to your body instead of pushing it.
Time to walk, to rest, to sleep deeply, to let your nervous system soften.

People arrive for different reasons.
To recover. To reset. To mark a threshold.
Often without needing to explain why.

You don’t need experience. You don’t need the language. You don’t need to be anything other than where you are right now.

Byron Bay holds the landscape.
I hold the container.

What tends to emerge is not a “new you,” but a quieter remembering of yourself, one that lingers long after you return home.

This retreat is for those who feel the call, even if they can’t quite name it yet.

I’m often asked if giving Ayurvedic bodywork is exhausting.
But the truth is, it gives something back.

There’s a quiet nourishment that happens here. Not the kind you can measure, but the kind you feel in your bones. I often finish a treatment feeling just as restored as the person on the table, as if we’ve both been held by something larger than either of us.

This work doesn’t come from effort. It comes from presence. From listening with the hands. From allowing the body’s innate intelligence to lead. When I’m in that space, there’s less doing and more being with. My breath slows and my edges soften. The sense of separation thins.

I believe that this is the bliss Ayurveda speaks of, not pleasure, not escapism, but a gentle remembering of wholeness. Of totality. Of life moving through life. When service arises from this place, it doesn’t drain energy; it circulates it. Giving and receiving stop being opposites. They become the same current.

That’s why this work continues to nourish me. It’s devotion in motion. A quiet meeting place where care, consciousness, and the body remember they were never separate to begin with.

Last night I attended the most nourishing community workshop hosted by .club and .studio

A beautifully casual, quietly supportive coming together of ideas, dreams, and inspiration. To sit back and simply listening to the laughter of women connecting in community filled my heart more than words can hold.

I am so grateful to , who is always up for an adventure, and the most special surprise was seeing our girl perform as we finished dinner.

Cup full. Bring on 2026…..

Most health issues don’t start with what you’re eating.
They start with how well you’re digesting.

In Ayurveda, this comes back to Agni, your digestive fire. And it’s not just about food. Agni governs how you digest meals, emotions, stress, change, even your life experiences.

When Agni is steady, the body knows what to do. Food becomes energy. Hormones find rhythm. Inflammation settles.
When Agni is weak or chaotic, digestion is incomplete. What isn’t fully processed turns into ‘ama’ a slow, sticky build-up that quietly sets the stage for fatigue, bloating, skin issues, hormonal imbalance, brain fog, and eventually disease. Nothing dramatic. Just accumulation over time.

Here’s the part most people miss: strong digestion loves rhythm, not constant input.

A few simple ways to rebuild Agni:
– Stop snacking between meals. Constant grazing smothers digestive fire.
– Leave 3–5 hours between meals and let digestion finish. You should feel hungry before your next meal.
– Eat at the same times each day. Your body is predictive. It releases digestive enzymes in anticipation, but only when it trusts your timing.
– Make lunch your largest meal. Midday digestion is naturally strongest.
– Favour warm, cooked, simply spiced foods, especially if you’re feeling depleted or bloated.
– Eat without distraction. A calm nervous system strengthens digestion more than any supplement.

From an Ayurvedic lens, healing doesn’t start with adding more. It starts with letting things fully digest. When Agni is supported, the body remembers how to regulate, repair, and restore.

Lately, I’ve noticed how tired women are, but not in the obvious way.

They’re still functioning.
Still showing up.
Still getting things done.

They’re just doing it without much spare.

Energy is allocated.
Joy is scheduled.
Rest is efficient, but not satisfying.

Nothing is technically wrong, so it’s easy to ignore.
But life starts to feel like something you maintain rather than enjoy.

This is usually the moment people find their way to my work. Not because they’re broken. Because they’re done pushing through. What actually helps isn’t motivation or another plan.
It’s learning how to let the body feel held again.

Warmth.
Slowness.
Weight.
Care that doesn’t ask anything back.

When the nervous system softens, everything else follows…. sleep, digestion, mood, clarity. Not dramatically, just enough to feel like yourself again.

From 16–19 April, we gather at Blue Green Sanctuary for a Byron Bay retreat designed to restore rhythm, vitality, and ease.

Think luxury eco-accommodation across three beautiful houses, three pools, a purpose-built yoga shala, sauna and ice bath, and space to truly slow down. Each day we move gently and deliberately through Yin and Yang yoga and meditation, balanced with moments of rest, ritual, and joy.

You’ll be nourished with whole foods cooked on site for gut health and sustained energy, sip tea in ceremony, learn Ayurvedic nutrition and daily rituals (including self-abhyanga and morning practices for longevity), receive an Abhyanga massage, and let yourself move freely in ecstatic dance.

This is not about doing more.
It’s about remembering how it feels to be well, steady, and alive in your body, held by nature, community, and ancient wisdom.

Spaces are limited and some accommodation options are now sold out. For bookings, visit the link in my bio or www.raewynfernandez.com.au

In Ayurveda, ojas is your deep reserve of energy, immunity, steadiness, and glow. Not the wired kind of energy, the sustainable kind.

January, as a mother, is rarely restful. Restless children. Constant meals. Laundry that never ends. Trying to hold space for work, home, and everyone else.

I know for me, in years past, this meant arriving at February already depleted, starting the year half empty.

But what if the beginning of the year didn’t ask you to push?
What if it supported a gentle steadiness instead?

This is where Abhyanga becomes medicine.

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic oil massage that does two things beautifully: It detoxifies the nervous and lymphatic systems, and it builds ojas, replenishing energy rather than borrowing it.

Warm, herbal oils calm the body, ground excess mental load, support hormonal balance, and restore a sense of being held.
Many women tell me they feel clearer, more rested, and more resourced, not just relaxed for an hour, but supported for weeks.

If you want to begin the year feeling nourished instead of already behind, January and February Abhyanga sessions are now available.

And if you can’t find a time that suits, please DM me, I’ll do my best to make space.

As we stand on the edge of a new year, we find ourselves in a quiet in-between. A sacred pause between what has been and what is still unfolding.

In a world that feels weary and fractured, choosing love becomes a holy, courageous act. Kindness is never small, it is how light travels. Hope is not wishful thinking; it is the steady decision to keep showing up with compassion, even when it’s hard.

We are called to be beacons…. not by being perfect, but by being present. By listening deeply. By softening where the world has hardened us. By carrying peace into our homes, our streets, our workplaces, and our communities

As this new year approaches, my intention isn’t more doing, it’s more light.

Quietly. Gently. Consistently…. Happy New Year 💗
