If you’re interested in putting together a session for your group of friends like last week’s circle of friends did, let me know!

Dedicated time, insulated from outside responsibilities, can be enormously healing in that it provides you with space to receive purposeful care.

Last week was honouring the respect this circle of women have for each other and the way they support each other with laughter, love and compassion. This is not your everyday women’s circle, this is deep intentional work for the clearing of pain and the invitation to soothe the inner cry for peace.

I am able to provide specific instruction in yoga teachings, create an atmosphere for heartfelt card readings, share restorative practices with massage techniques and serve nourishing food and drinks in this warmly enveloping space.

From 3hrs minimum to a full day retreat itinerary, if this is something you’re craving, let’s begin a conversation and get your group together for a life changing experience, Gx

What a beautiful way to spend time behind the camera in this newly rebuilt and stunningly appointed massage room.

The day was dark and very wet, but in here, the atmosphere was warm and cosy!

Jules Rooks of Julie Rooks has opened bookings for various styles of massage care in the heart of Rutherglen VIC and you can contact her directly if you’re heading that way any time soon.

You’ll slip on a fluffy robe, enjoy some flavourful tea and sink into the gleeful experience of having your tension taken away.

For massage and private yoga sessions contact Jules and if you have photography needs, let me know, Gaelle x

BENDIGO YOGA FESTIVAL SUNDAY 11 OCT ‘26

This year I’ll be presenting a class close to my heart! Along with Katie Stiffe I’ll be guiding you through a RESTORATIVE YOGA WITH MASSAGE session that involves placing your body into supported positions that’ll amply ease your body towards clam.

This is no ordinary restorative yoga class though. Katie and I will be moving around to each participant so that every single one of you will also receive hands on massage care, an amazing way to wrap up your festival experience.

Bring every prop you muster, we’ll use them all!

I’ll be singing mantras like lullabies too so you’ll finish the class feeling that you’ve received the soothement often so elusive to us during our regular days.

Yoga Festival run the best festivals both across the country and abroad, you’ll love the investment you make in attending.

With the river flooding earlier this week, I took a walk down yesterday for a closer look.

Since last Monday’s rise, the river has dropped about 2mts and has left a beautiful softening of the surrounding land.

The last image is so beautiful and whilst I often shrug my shoulders at the extremes of weather and temperatures we experience in Australia, there’s no doubt that this part of Victoria is a blessing for me to be in.

As I walked around, I just wished there was enough water going into the earth, that it helps when it’s so hot in 6mths that it’ll all be crispy enough to be a fire threat again!

Resolve

During 1:1 sessions, we identify something that has taken hold, small or big, whatever the topic and work it through the body to get deeply into the tissues of personal belonging.

Combining different forms of massage, ayurveda and yogic knowledge, I use sound massage as one of the techniques.

I use professional grade metal alloy bowls specifically made for resonating the body towards peace. They are placed on/around the body and when struck, pulse vibrations into the core being of who you are, reminding the eternal self of peace.

Resolving patterns of belief and behaviour is done with the support of stretching, massage of varying types, food/beverages, journalling and talking. Our 3hrs goes quickly, but it builds a foundation of specific inner enquiry.

Follow up appointments are suggested then to be regular but intentionally spaced. Our time together facilitates a direction for you to take but the work is yours to adhere to. Charge happens incrementally, with awareness and with perseverance and I’m here to support women who are ready to resolve questions about themselves! Gx

Change…

No substance is experienced without the willingness to allow change. Change however, by its very notion, requires us to be uncomfortable and be willing to unhinge ourselves from our current belief system. We live in a world that encourages quick fixes and surface involvement so it’s not easy, I know!

Holding on to status, appearances, patterns of behaviour, being righteous or on the opposite side succumbing to pleasing others, or remaining quiet and distant is resistance, (current personal safety measures aside), as change takes affirmative action and it does require us to give up something we had built as being right.

Ayurveda states simply that lifestyle choices are the foundation of applied wellbeing. It’s not about being perfect, but allowing the curiosity of what else could be an outcome to take precedence over what amounts to surface level enactment of life.

Being a woman of substance means having the courage and learned ability to stand in personal strength for the sake of the self. This is not for the purpose of standing up against someone else, but being clear about who you are so you know who you are in your fullness.

Seeking change is self nourishment and it’s not all ‘light and love’!

Now that I’ve returned to working with women on a personal level, progress of significance is being made. What that means is, because we have dedicated time to delve into individual challenges and work through them, each woman can witness their own sustainable change taking place.

Consistency is key, along with regular attention to details and the courage to take action This sets the foundation for different outcomes to eventuate. It takes trust in me as the guide and in yourself, that you are worthy of more than you’ve accepted.

This happens during asana lessons, providing ways of nourishment, journaling and discussions of concern and through the unveiling of what is the space of peace when acceptance of care is embodied.

My approach is for the curious and for those who genuinely want support. I don’t follow a cookie cutter handbook way to do this. You will not hear me p***y footing around topics or fill the session with platitudes.

We start when you’re prepared to direct considered attention to your own personal self. Contact me to discuss how to unwind yourself from the tethers that you feel bound by, to get clear on who you are, (to yourself not others) and progress with the renewal of personal strength.

As the wafting of incense moves throughout my space it also wraps around those who enter this environment of peaceful action.

It’s a space of intentional design and purpose for peace. It is only when we’re are quiet long enough to hear our inner voice that we can approach life with considered calm. Daily noise tends to throw out our access to inner listening.

Women are drowning in noise. The kids, partners, colleagues, friends, family, all vying for undivided attention, pull women away from the healing that occurs when space is invited, accepted and revered.

Women also have attachment to the roles they play in other people’s lives. Identity becomes a holder for acceptance, but I question what becomes of our inner self when seeking approval outweighs solidifying who we actually are.

This little dude Shiva stands on as he dances, symbolises the delusions that we take on that separate us from our remembering, that we are full of divine love.

The fact that Shiva has his food pressed against him rather completely squishing him means he is stopping him in his tracks, but also giving space for agency.

Awareness of our behaviours and their origins develops an understanding of process, patterns and where what might have worked in the past, no longer has the same potency.

Here, we are being asked to recognise our reactions and transform the initial impulse, to something quieter and grounding, by coming back to the breath and allowing for an alteration to the way information is being received. Accounting for our own actions is paramount to creating change and is an exciting way to self nourish!

This is our yoga practice, to feel, be aware and take action.

1:1 Self Nourishment Sessions provide you with a way to open the body to the space of possibility for change and clear the mind of a concern that is blocking that possibility from happening.

There is opportunity for 1 more client now for the 2nd half of July and into August and I’d love to hear from you if you’re a woman looking to clear the way forward! Gx
