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.

Meditation teacher training with us includes more than meditation techniques because being a meditation teacher requires more than just understand how to guide different meditation styles.

Our meditation teacher training includes:
- human happiness, this comes in handy when your students are searching for "more"
- causes and effects of stress, most people that turn to meditation are experiencing stress and are seek support in this area
- holistic coaching skills to support your students when something arises for them during meditation that they need support or help with
- 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
and of course
- meditation history, techniques and styles

We want you to be ready to start your meditation teacher career or have the skills to add to your business.

Enrolment is now open for our February and March intakes. DM for more details and to enrol.

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.

I hear you, you want to complete your meditation teacher training but life, right? This is why this year I am offering an immersive meditation teacher training retreat.

This is an opportunity for you to be free from the distractions of life and come fully to your studies.

I have chosen a luxurious setting, in a calm and relaxing environment that is close to nature so that you can be present to immerse yourself. I want this experience to not only nourish your learning but also nurture and honour you.

You will have the opportunity to not only deep dive into the learning but have plenty of time for private practice as well as guiding others to build your confidence.

You will come away from this week long retreat refreshed, confident and equiped with a new skill for your business or ready to start your new career path. With the program calling for personal reflection there is spacing for healing, self-awareness and transformation to take place.

Spaces are limited to keep this experience intimate and to ensure that you receive the support that you deserve. DM retreat to apply.

✨ We’re back and 2026 is already feeling so expansive ✨

After a beautiful pause over the festive period, the doors to the Australian Holistic Academy are officially open again.

As I reflect on how far The AHA has come, from a simple vision held in my heart to a thriving academy supporting students to step into their calling, I feel such deep gratitude. What started as a dream is now a living, breathing community of soulful practitioners in the making.

And this year there are some truly exciting things unfolding behind the scenes. New offerings, deeper connection, and even more ways to support our students to grow, heal and lead with integrity.

Enrolments are now open for the 2 February intake.

I cannot wait to see how The AHA continues to expand in 2026, and even more so, to witness the transformation and growth of the beautiful souls who choose this path.

Here’s to another year of purpose-led learning, heart-centred connection and soul-guided expansion.

Wow! Is all I can say.

This year I started The Australian Holistic Academy, knowing that it was the right thing to do. It felt right, this was my next step. It felt aligned and I knew that I was capable of bringing this to life.

The last 4 months have been amazing and my heart is full. I am so grateful for the students that said YES, not only to themselves but to The Australian Holistic Academy. They believed that we were the right fit for them and I am honoured.

My heart fills with each enrolment, with each assessment I get to mark and witness the growth and understanding the students are experiencing, the interactions I get to have with the students and people who are interested in studying with The Australian Holistic Academy.

In just 4 months we have welcomed students from across Australia as well as International students. I am so excited to see what unfolds in 2026 as well as sharing some amazing learning experiences that are in the works.

As we close for a short period to recharge and enjoy time with our families over the holiday period, I want to say THANK YOU, to not only the students, the followers, my support network and the people that believed this was possible and encouraged, and keep encouraging, me.

The Australian Holistic Academy will be closed from 22 December 2025 until 4 January 2026. As we take some time to recharge I encourage you to do the same.

Today we welcomed the last student intake for 2025!

What a start it has been for The Australian Holistic Academy. Launching in August (on my birthday :-)) to having the final intake of students, an Immersive Meditation Teacher Training retreat scheduled for 2026, 2 more training courses added and Meditation Teacher Training online classes scheduled for 2026. What a start it has been.

It has been a blessing watching the academy grow this year. It is just the beginning I can wait to welcome more students in 2026 and look at additional courses to support holistic practitioners.

My heart is full and I can't wait to see where this journey takes this years students.
