Heartspace

Heartspace Heartspace is a page where I share what moves me in daily life. I have a wide varity of interests: y I am an essential oil educator.

Heartspace Wellness Solutions has been created by Silke Whittaker, a yoga teacher, sound healer, reiki master, essential oil educator, artist, mama, wife and explorer of the inside and outside world. I used to own a yoga studio in Hastings, New Zealand and loved to share the practice of yoga, sound healing and aromatherapy on a regular basis with my clients. After a sabbatical with my family overseas for 2 years I currently offer one off yoga & sound healing group sessions around Hawke's Bay when time allows. I also love working one on one with clients either for sound healing & reiki sessions or to customise a yoga practice just for you. I am passionate about using doTerra essential oils and love to teach how they can be used to improve your health and home care with these pure gifts from mother nature. doTERRA's sourcing practices and quality are impeccable, which is why I have been working with them for around 6 years now. I am happy to customise one on one sessions, group sessions or make custom blends for clients. You can learn more about Heartspace Yoga & Heartspace Essentials on heartspace.nz. If you have any questions you can contact me on silke@heartspace.nz. I am looking forward to connecting with you.

I created a sacred space in my office next to my meditation cushions. I got rid of a set of drawers we didnt really need and tidied up the office over labour weekend. I feel so much more relaxed in tidy, cosy spaces.

On a mission to create space in the house and in myself and give away what we dont use. When I have clutter around me myself and my mind also tend to be cluttered.

Just putting up some of clinic stock here as well, incase you are keen on some of the products:

GONE - Easy Air Clear Drops - many of you have enjoyed these in my yoga sessions, when there are niggling coughs or sneezes. These little drops clear the sinuses and airways really well. $30 for 30 drops. Easy Air rollerbottle, 15 ml, $40 ready for skin application. Great for chest rubs or to use before exercise and breathwork to open up / unblock the airways.

GONE - Ice Blue stick - great for pain relief. I use this for any aches and pains. Can also be used before gym in the spots that you know might feel sore after. This one has Copaipa in it - knows to have an association with Nerve pain similar to Cannabis oil, $55

Ice Blue oil - similar to the stick, you can make your own rollerbottles, balms and body oils from this to deal to achy, painful areas of your body. This is an undiluted oil, so will go a long way. 5 ml, $55

Passion Blend - 5 ml undiluted, $70. This a blend of essential oils to connect you with your passions, inspirations and feminine. Spices, florals, woods, vanilla - a warming comforting scent. You can use this in the diffuser or to make your own rollerbottles / bodycare products

Great to support your immune system, when bugs are going around. For energy workers, this is also a great blend to cleanse & protect the energy field.

Magnolia, 15 ml rollerbottle, $55, ready to be used on skin. Great perfume blend. Super calming, relaxing & uplifting at the same time. A sweet floral and soothing scent.

Lavender, 15 ml rollerbottle, $35, ready to use on skin. Swiss Army knife of essential oils. Calming, grounding, sleep support, perfume.

One of my core desires is to be of service. Over past 20 years I have grown and evolved a lot, but what condensed out of all the work I have done over the years is the strong desire to do good, leave the world a better place even if its just in my tiny little bubble and be of service to people, while I also nourish, explore and respect myself.

When I first started out in my attempts to be of service I did not do it with the right balance, respect and space for myself and ended up with an empty bucket - burnt out. A combination of many things - trying to be too many things: mother, wife, householder, student, guide, space holder, business owner, working way too much and having not enough time for things I enjoyed and needed my self. I still haven't figured out the right balance, but have become a lot better at looking after myself. Its easier now, that my kids are grown up and need me less, so I pop out easier to a session with another space holder, for a walk, do my own yoga practice, have a sleep in etc.

In my yoga sessions I offer what resonates with me, gentle movement, deep/slow breathing, inwards focus, tuning into my intuition, rather than being alignment focussed, listening to the body, calming the mind and creating some space in amongst all the noise and external stimulations and expectations. I have always been a "doer' measuring my worth on achievements and outcomes and how productive and useful I could be. In the past as soon as I created some space, I filled it with doing something useful. Its a conscious effort for me to slow down and create space to just be and explore creative endeavours and just play - endeavours that may not be useful or income generating or appreciated.

Particularly in my one off sessions I try to invite the people that come to focus on that inward listening, to allow things to fall away and create some space, learn to just be and hopefully come away feeling nourished. Those are my 2 main intentions for these sessions - nourish you and create some space for you to just be. As with everything this takes practice. It has taken me many years of practice to get to where I am today and I have a feeling that practice will never be finished. I intentionally don't work with "themes" in these particular sessions to allow yourself to be fully present for whatever comes up for you.

I have 2 special sessions coming in November and I encourage you to book your space to commit to your selfcare. I would love to see you in those spaces to create a little bit of peace, insight and connection to self and each other.

Nourish - a 2 hour Yin Yoga & Sound Healing journey with Tibetan Singing Bowls. This is a floor based, gentle and meditative practice. 2nd November, 3.30 - 5.30 pm, Haumoana, $25pp, Koha accepted

Sound Sanctuary - a 1.5 hour journey to self - Yin Yoga, Live piano music by Liz Barry, Sound Healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls, 9th November, Havelock North, 2 -3.30 pm, $40 pp, some Koha spots available

Our Story

Heartspace has been created by Silke Whittaker, a yoga teacher, sound healer, reiki master & essential oil educator, mama, wife, truthteller and explorer of the inside and outside world. I used to own a yoga studio in Hastings, New Zealand and loved to share the practice of yoga, soundhealing and aromatherapy on a regular basis with my clients. Now a new adventure is calling, living on a sailboat with my husband, 2 children and our dog and getting back to basics. I will share my insights and adventures with you and yoga, sound healing, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation will still be a big part of my life. I am looking forward to really immersing myself in my own practice, reading, digesting and internalising my insights, writing more, drawing more, spending more time looking into my childrens and husbands eyes and being present for myself and my family. I am also an essential oil educator. I am passionate about my doTerra oils and love to teach how they can be used to improve your home, health and body care with these gifts from nature. I am still sharing the oils from our boat and educate my clients how to use them safely and efficiently, either online or personally if we cross paths.
