I so love being part of day retreats. There’s something so special about watching people arrive carrying the weight of busy lives, only to leave feeling softer, calmer, and more connected to themselves.
I'm am looking forward to returning to Kula Muriwai alongside the wonderful Purnima Trasi to offer a deeply nourishing Sound Bath Immersion as part of her retreat day PRANA RISE . Through the gentle vibrations of alchemy crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, and other sacred instruments, I’ll create a space where the body can rest deeply, the nervous system can settle, and the mind can finally exhale.
This beautiful day has been lovingly curated for busy, overworked women who are ready to pause, replenish, and reconnect with their body's wisdom during midlife.
✨ Yoga, Pranayama, Mudra & Bandha
✨ Meridian work
✨ Meditation & Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound)
✨ Seasonal gut-friendly lunch, treats & tea
✨ Time to unwind and integrate
✨ Optional sauna & ice bath
✨ Full access to the beautiful Kula Muriwai Shala & spa

What a treat in the middle of Winter!
If you've been feeling tired, stretched too thin, or simply longing for a day that is entirely devoted to your wellbeing, this is your invitation to receive.

I can't wait to share the healing power of sound with you in this stunning setting and hope you will join us – just need to put down a deposit of $100 and pay the rest before the 22 August.

Great gong that can be used on a stand (sold separately), but it also comes with a carry handle so it can be played as you move around a space.

Fantastic starter gong and a lovely accent gong to add to a symphonic collection.

This week it’s been international Addison’s Disease Day so I thought I would share my personal experience of living with this rare condition that destroys the adrenals.

My story with this goes back a long way, and sadly it caused some miscarriage’s before diagnosis. I used to have a lot of odd symptoms. It started with me feeling weak and constantly tired. It was a struggle to hold a hairdryer up. I would get incredibly nauseous and have constant dizzy spells especially standing up from a chair I would feel like I was going to black out. I was mad for eating crisps and adding Indian lime pickle to everything (a form of self-medicating - as salt really helped)

The weird thing was that I looked tanned (from hyper pigmentation) and as I had lost weight people kept saying how good I looked. Getting a diagnosis was hard as it’s not a common condition but it saved my life. I do have to take medication every day and carry an emergency injection and it took a while to come to terms with having to be on medication for life. For the first five years I couldn’t even get life insurance, but 22 years on I feel that I live well with it. If I get sick it is complicated, and there have been quite a few trips in the ambulance. I had 5 days in hospital with stomach flu as it’s vital that I don’t miss my medication and last year getting overtired when Charlie and I both had flu landed me in in hospital on the way to an Addison’s Crisis and that always has the potential to be fatal. As primary Addisons is so rare (maybe 500 people in NZ) doctors in emergency often don’t the treatment protocol right. But Im so grateful that there is medication that keeps me alive and that has only been possible since the 1950's

My journey as a soundhealer and Yoga & meditation teacher has been in parallel with this and plays a massive part in helping me stay stable - so grateful for that too✨

I stock beautiful sage spray made from sage grown organically by Kylie and her family in Taranaki. It's so pure and fresh and brings clarity to the mind. I use it as room freshener, in sound baths and as a mindful pick me up if I am flagging in the afternoon .

It's somehow grounding and refreshing at the same time and I prefer it to burning sage which makes me wheezy.

Check it out when you are at the studio. It makes for a lovely gift as well.
