I froze when my reiki client asked for tools on how to support herself through what was causing the inner imbalance that brought her for a energy healing that day.

I was a trained and experience energy healer, Master level, with in depth training. However that training didn't provide me with the tools, knowledge and experience to support the core reason (root cause) to why people's energy was off balance, not flowing and "blocked".

I took and take this work seriously. I understand that this is someone's life and it needs to be handled correctly. I was aware that it is possible to set people back, to re-trigger and so in that moment I said "sorry I don't" because I would prefer to admit that I don't know than to accidentally cause harm.

This experience is what led to my additional studies, so that I could support my clients at a deeper level, so that I could say YES when my clients asked for additional help. It led to me saying yes to opening The Australian Holistic Academy so that I could help others in the same position that I had found myself in, to be able to train holistic professionals to provide deeper support to their clients.

If you have stayed this long, I am guessing something similar has happened to you. This is your sign to take the leap into additional studies so you can provide the level of support you are being called to provide.

Today we welcomed a new intake of students. I love these days, the start of such a wonderful experience for a new set of students and future change makers.

Learning and growth comes with our courses, not only from a professional perspective but also personally. Each student experiences a level of growth, awareness, healing or expansion as they walk the path of learning to support others.

I am so honoured to be able to do this work. It is a blessing and each new student reminds why I moved into this space. It connects with my purpose and the legacy I want to leave behind.

I encourage you to join me in celebrating and congratulating our new students. If you have been sitting on the fence, the next intake is 28 April and enrolments are now open!

If becoming a certified meditation teacher has been on your heart, this is your moment.

I am hosting an immersive seaside Meditation Teacher Training Retreat, there are only 6 places available.

- Practice teaching in a supportive environment
- Deepen your own meditation practice
- Gain certification through the Australian Holistic Academy
- Walk away READY to teach

You’ll spend dedicated time away from distraction, immersed in learning, practice and integration in a beautiful coastal setting.

Bet you weren't expecting that, neither were our students!

One of the things that keeps surprising our students is the personal growth that they experience as they move through their selected course. This happens time and time again and with each course that we offer.

I love working through the student assessments and seeing their comments about understanding something in themselves, realising a limiting belief, or how they feel more relaxed and so much more.

Our courses are designed that way, because it is the lived experience and change that helps you connect with your clients in a deeper way. You can empathise, understand and come from a more grounded place. This helps you become a great teacher, coach or holistic counsellor.

Want personal growth and understanding whilst learning new skills for a career that lights you up? It's what we do over here.

Our next intake is 16 March and enrolments are now open! DM for details.

It's a bittersweet experience seeing my students graduate.

I get so much joy out of watching them grow, hearing about their experiences and witnessing the learning that takes place, yet there is a little bit of sadness as I finish their final assessment, send their congratulations email and organise their certificate to be sent out. These things are done with so much joy and excitement but the sadness of something ending is there too.

I know that they are off to start their new career or to add to their existing business. That they will make an impact and change peoples lives with the work that they will do. And this is the reason that I started the academy, for the larger ripple effect. Knowing that each student that comes into the academy has the opportunity to impact the lives of many. That I am part of something bigger than me and the work that I do in my coaching business. I can see the flow on effect that comes with teaching others to support others. But I still get a little sad that I don't get to witness so closely the changes that come after graduation.

This role and opportunity gives me so much fulfilment so I will take a little sadness as each student moves onto their next step in impacting the lives of others. And sometimes I am lucky enough to see the students come back to further their studies so they can provide deeper support and change.

So today I acknowledge the three new meditation teachers that are entering the world and ask you to congratulation them as well.

You feel the desire within yourself, you are being called to:
- help people find peace
- help people feel less stressed
- show people how to live more present
- guide people to find relief in a world of busyness
- live a life with more meaning
- to feel like you are making a difference

But there's one problem, you need more structure when learning. You need interaction with others. You want live access to your teacher. If you are being honest self-paced learning is not for you. You like the idea of online learning for the ease but without the structure of set times, accountability and support you won't do the course. You know from experience it's wasted money.

I know because I am the same, structured learning is a better fit for me. The motivation starts to wane and I might as well have just put the money I spent on the course in the bin.

I also hear the same from people asking about our courses, well maybe not as honestly, but they are asking for more than self-paced learning.

Because of this I have decided to run our first online classroom based meditation teacher training!

Start on Saturday 21 February the meditation teacher training will be delivered each Saturday morning between 9-11am over 12 weeks. We will take breaks over the Easter and Anzac long weekends.

If you need more structure and are interested in our upcoming online intake DM for details as enrolment is open! There are limited spaces to ensure that everyone will be supported during the sessions.

Today we welcome our new intake of students.

I am so excited and honoured to be sharing this experiencing with them. What I am noticing over time is that the students not only learn the skills to become powerful change makers in their chosen course but they experience personal growth along the way. Exactly how the courses are designed.

This intake I am honoured to welcome students enrolled in meditation teacher training, holistic empowerment coaching and holistic counselling.

I wish them all the best in their studies and know that this will be a life changing experience for them. Drop a like and comment to show your support for their studies!

This is feedback from one of the recent graduates from the Meditation Teacher Training course. She went on to say:

"An important insight I have gained is that happiness is within the mind; meditation and mindful practices enable individuals to access inner peace, create their own joy, and develop resilience to stress. By teaching techniques that calm the nervous system, release tension, and focus awareness, I can help participants consciously foster wellbeing and emotional balance within their lives."

It was such a honour and extremely fulfilling to watch Amanda deeply embrace the training material, the exercises and practical aspects of the training. And to hear her personal experience on how the course also impacted her.

Our courses are designed not only to make you an impactful teacher but for your personal growth and expansion.

Enrolment is now open for our February and March intakes, DM if you are ready to step into your meditation teacher training or would like to explore our other courses.

Wondering what you can do with the accredited meditation teacher training at The Australian Holistic Academy?

Here is a list of things that I have done with my meditation teacher training.

- taught in-person weekly meditation classes
- ran a chakra meditation series over 8 weeks
- developed an online program to teach people how to meditate, learn different styles and overcome the common misconceptions around meditation
- use it as part of weekend and one day retreats
- online classes for carers
- use it as part of women's circles
- use it as part of a membership program
- use it as part of my 1:1 mentorships
- hosted free community meditations

But it was not only about what I could do with my training. As a result of my training I personally experience:
- a calmer way of living
- the ability to manage my stress better
- the positive impact on my health
- think more clearly
- be more present
- understand myself differently
- use the tools that I learnt to help myself

With the meditation teacher training you don't just learn about meditation. You are taken through the foundations of happiness, understanding stress and the stress response, the impact of stress, human needs as well as being provided with holistic counselling skills for meditation teaching.

By the end of the course you become a confident meditation teacher, who believes in their abilities to support students and clients at a deeper level. You know how to make your students feel supported, acknowledged. This course can turn you into an all-star meditation teacher who truly understands the impact meditation can have.

- teaching skills and workshop preparation, meditation is not just reserved for classes you gain skills to help design workshops
- small business skills, as a meditation teacher you will be running a business

Your school reports screamed you "could do better if you just applied yourself" and your tests results may have said otherwise but it's not that you were a bad student.

You were being forced to study something that you had no interest in. That someone else told you to study. Or that you picked because you had to pick something.

When you study something that you are not passionate about, that is not connected with something that has you actually want to do, of course it seems like you are a bad student but that is not the case.

Firstly you need to be studying something that you truly want to study. Something that links to a passion, something that you want to share with others. Something that connects you with the career you want to be in and the impact you want to make in this world!

Secondly you need to be in an environment that works for you in a way that fits into your life now. In an environment that is supportive, that you can ask for help in, that treats you like an individual, not just another student.

This is what the Australian Holistic Academy provides. Courses that are run online that are self-paced, meaning you can study when it suits you. With flexibility so you can adapt as needed. No locked in class times.

But if you need structure you can also join one of the online classes. Meditation Teacher Training has online classes at a set time each week that keeps you on track.

Meaning that you can complete your studies in a way that supports your needs and treats you like the individual that you are.

Imagine completing your studies and being accredited ready to start a career that you are passionate about. Gaining knowledge and understanding that you can take into life and support others.

This is what we aim to support at The Australian Holistic Academy. Students are graduating in a way that feels aligned and supported, they are confident and ready to start sharing with others with belief in their abilities.

This could be you too. Enrolment is now open. DM to find out more about the courses on offer and to enrol.
