Devi Shakti Yoga

Devi Shakti Yoga provides trauma Sensitive Yoga and meditation with a focus on women’s health and nervous system regulation.
I offer a unique blend of yoga asana, trauma release and emotional freeing techniques that is evidence-based and yet steeped in ancient philosophy. I am often referred to by gynaecologists, psychologists and pelvic physiotherapists to provide evidence-based trauma sensitive practices and somatic therapy to help women restore balance to their lives.

It is my passion to help women detangle and free themselves from the stress, trauma, anxiety or grief that have them feeling lost and detached from the world and themselves.

Working solely with women in a private practice, it’s my passion to provide support and gentle nurturing practices to those that may carry trauma, disease or illness.

Studying Yoga therapies and in particular Trauma Sensitive Yoga I became interested in the link between trauma and women's hormonal and pelvic health. Following the theories of Prof. van Der Kolk (author of: 'The Body Keeps The Score'), I believe the body retains the memory of trauma.

Devi Shakti Yoga aims to re-forge a long lost connection with the body through somatic therapy including yo

ga asana, breath-work and meditation appropriate to the client. We work deeply to release emotional stress and to retrain neurological pathways that are often weakened as a result of stress and trauma.

My goal is to inspire women to take charge of their health, empowering them with unconditional love for their bodies and the journey they have taken to get to this point.

Healing comes when trauma can be met safely, adequately and appropriately!

It’s time to let her go 🥹

This account will close soon. However I am still curating the online resources for the FINDING HER program. These will be up and available soon.

Thank you to all those that have expressed an interest in these and thank you for your patience as I gather myself 💕

In the mean time I have felt it time to move away from Devi Shakti. Something greater, deeper and more profound is stirring in me 🐍

You can find me here

Under Grandmother moon yesterday, I finally found peace on a difficult decision.

I have decided to close Devi Shakti private therapy.

This may come as a rash decision made in the midst of eclipse season. However, this full moon has truly highlighted for me what I’m needing to shed in order to continue to grow.

I’ve known for sometime now that there is incredible personal growth awaiting me. However, this ‘newness’ cannot flow whilst hanging onto the old.

As much as I adore and am immensely proud of Devi Shakti- it is time to let her go. Over 8 years I have painstakingly developed and tended to my business. I truly believe what I have created is something unique.

I still hold incredible faith in my work. I’ve seen immense changes in women through our time together. But there is also a staleness that I can not deny.

Being a sole business owner has had its challenges, and I’m tired. Bone achingly tired. I’ve taken little breaks here and there in an effort to restore my energy, all the while ignoring my body which has been screaming at me. Yesterday, I could no longer deny the pain in my uterus. She was begging me to stop.

I’ve bargained, gambled, pushed, and pulled with this decision throughout the year, and now finally under this super cleansing moon, I have succumbed to what I know has needed to happen for sometime.

Closure.

It comes with its pain and heartache. I have thoroughly enjoyed my therapy work and building connections with you all. I hold incredible respect for women diving into such challenging and deep healing work.

I want to thank all of those that have supported my services in some way. Acknowledging my posts, sharing my content, referring my services, purchasing sessions, or just through verbal encouragement. You have encouraged me to keep going more than you realise.

I don’t know what comes next. I am equally terrified as I am intrigued. All I know is I keep receiving the same message “bigger than this”.

So I go now. This time willingly to shed old skin and to grow into the next chapter 🦋

With so much love and respect

If you’re looking for change, for your life to be happier, more manageable and easier
then keep scrolling!

If you know that long lasting change needs to come from within,
then stick around.

I’m looking for the resilient, determined and READY woman who knows it’s time to address the wounds that prevent her from truly changing her life.

I’m looking for the woman that knows the patterns that no longer serve her and is READY to lay them to rest.

I’m looking for the woman who is READY to stop searching outwardly for the answers and is READY to find them from within.

I’m looking for the woman who knows she is beautiful and strong and capable, but wants to feel it from within her bones.

What I’m cultivating with my FINDING HER program is for this woman.

The READY woman🗡️

If you’re REaDY to acknowledge the wounds that prevent you from moving forward in life,
to spend the time tending them and nurturing them toward healing
then I’m READY for you🗝️

…………………………………………………..

I am a real person and refuse to use AI technology. So instead let’s chat. If this resonated with you simply send me a brief hello and I’ll share the link to my FINDING HER program 🌸

I get teary whenever I receive testimonials from clients.

When you work along side someone through all the grit, grief and pain, it brings me such joy to see them through to the other side. 🌸

And I am confident it’s permanent change too. The reason I’m so confident on this is because of something that Jen mentions here in her testimony…

“she has helped me understand what is happening in my body and how this is connected to my mind in a way no other therapist has been able to do”.

These words are not new to me- I get told this frequently by my clients.

It’s the connections we make to the body that often hold the key to trauma recovery.

When you gain this sort of knowledge, the changes we make can’t help but be permanent. You now hold the key for how you continue to care for your body, mind, and spirit. 🗝️

With awareness, deep connection and compassion change becomes possible.

My calendar is now open for 3 new clients.
Reach out to make an enquiry.

The term embodiment and feminine embodiment have become popular but what does it mean and is it for everyone?

To be “embodied” is similar to somatic experiencing. We use somatic interception to go within. To not only ask “how do I feel” but “where do I feel it”?

It’s also knowing how to respond, how to listen and how to support without judgement. And this is where we start to weave in feminine embodiment.

Feminine embodiment is not just about adorning yourself and parading around seductively. It’s about tuning in and honouring the natural cyclic nature of the female form (both in terms of the menstrual cycle and the life cycle). It’s about cultivating and honouring the feminine qualities of creativity, nurturing instincts, receptivity, spirituality, softness but also fierceness.

It’s about discovering a fierce admiration and love for self that is not selfish, but honouring of your boundaries and needs.

So can anyone learn to be embodied? From my experience working in trauma therapies, not immediately. Dissociation often occurs because the body is not a safe space to be in. There are stories, memories, emotions and experiences that don’t want to be re-lived. So they get locked away, only to continue to infect the body in other ways.

Safety from within needs to be obtained first. We cannot be embodied from an overwhelmed nervous system. We need to regulate the nervous system as we journey in- constantly checking our window of tolerance and resourcing as needed.

What is the point of embodiment? Most women I work with, at some point in their healing journey will say to me that they want to feel more connected to their sexuality
more in tune with their menstrual cycle and stage of life
to feel creative and alive
to trust their intuition and instincts
to have clear and healthy boundaries
to feel safe and strong from within
to feel genuine joy!

This is why we practice embodiment!

Ladies!!! It’s ok to feel that inner rage.

Being a woman is not just meek and mild 🔥

It’s ok to say f**k you to generational trauma.
To feeling stuck
To feeling inadequate
To feeling powerless.

Resilience requires a heroine and she needs to be fierce 🗡️

I was recently chatting about this with a client. She asked how to release that inner rage when others are present (as in family in the house).

I find silent screams/yells, sticking out my tongue, large eyes and mouthing F**k you as though you are shouting it still affective. Stomping your feet, pushing hands out in a “no” or shaking is also helpful.

I also like to work out and channel my rage in a constructive way.

Helps me feel better and keep fit too.

Don’t keep that muck in. Find a way to let it out 🔥
