Breathing Space Yoga And Nutrition

Helping people create nourished lives through better nutrition, wellness programs, yoga classes, retreats, succulent living and life by design

I'm a yoga teacher, deep tissue bodyworker and sometimes, I write. I’ve been massaging since I was 12 years old and I've been a serious student of the mind-body connection for over 25 years. I teach classes in Moruya and I run an annual retreat in Ubud, Bali - all levels are welcome.

A backpacking trip to Africa at age 25 and some nasty tropical diseases left me with mysterious health problems I couldn't shake. That set me on a path of self discovery. I went on to study at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies and gain qualifications in Bodywork Therapies. I later gained qualifications in specialist bodywork techniques from the Centre of Human Transformation incorporating leading edge human consciousness, rolfing, and techniques to access and release cellular memory.

These were exciting and interesting developments but my symptoms were still present - like a program running in the background that slows everything down and makes it less efficient. I lived with food sensitivities, debilitating gut symptoms, migraines, bone weary fatigue, transient pain and mental fog. I had always been interested in diet and nutrition but after many years of managing my symptoms, countless special diets, eliminating this and that but only getting temporary relief, I was fed up and feeling defeated. I ate a wholefood, organic diet, I meditated, I was so so good, but as time went on my symptoms were not only still there, they were getting harder and harder to manage.

Then finally, in 2015 (25 years down the track) I finally stumbled on something that works for me and has transformed my health. Its simple and easy and not what I expected. I’m delighted to say I feel better than I have for years. I sleep, I have energy, my brain works and I sing regularly and loud.

If any of my story resonates with you I would love to hear from you. I hope my journey and experience can help you on your way. I'm sure that what you bring will benefit me too. See you on the mat, on the table or on the beach. I'm the one with at least 2 little canines in tow.
