I am not sure where you are at in the cycle of pregnancy and parenting but wherever you are I can bet, at some point, there has been some serious letting go! As we are now in a phase of the New Moon, and a new season, it’s time to shed anything you may be […]

Even though […]
I just came back from a beautiful Vietnamese dinner in Glebe with my mum. As I walked home, I realised I was walking up the very same hill that I marched up before every single HSC exam right near my high school. I remembered what got me through and allowed me to blitz the exams….It […]

I hope you and your familiy are all well and safe – enjoying the holiday vibe growing and the great changes that are also taking place across our planet at the moment. I know Xmas is a time to pause and rest and be happy but here by my little beach in Tamarama I find […]
I was out watching the sun rise this morning over Bondi Beach and wondering what else I need to implement in my daily life so that I can feel as good in Sydney as I do in Bali on holidays. Impossible i hear you say! There were some really beautiful insights and wisdom I gained […]
I am traditionally not one to become political. I am a Gen-X Aussie – mostly I hold the attitude of ‘what’s the point’ and/or ‘she’ll be right’….But, there are some things worth getting a little noisy about…like same sex marriage and homebirth! I have run commitment ceremonies for same sex couples and cried so much […]
I remember going to my first mother’s group just after Leroy was born. It took all of 3 hours to get out of the house but I was desperate just to connect and find some women who felt a little bit of the joy and challenge that I was experiencing! However, I don’t think I […]

It has always astounded me how sometimes the simplest and cheapest things available to women throughout their pregnancy can make the biggest differences. Just like that odd shaped pillow behind your back or between your legs at night. Or that funny old book your aunt gave you with all the herbal recipes for constipation through […]

This full moon on Friday at 4.39pm is the pinnacle of the Vedic or yogic calender, Guru Purnima. It’s a time to give thanks to the lineage of teachers that have taught us throughtout our lives, and that stretches all the way back to the beginning of time. I like to remember all the inspiring […]
Connection is simply another word for union or yoga! It really is the most important thing in life, in birth, in motherhood, in partnership etc…All this hoo haa in spiritual circles about detachment to me is seriously overrated!! How are we ever to love or to learn and grow without attachment and connection? Attachment is […]

What is it? Conscious infant toilet training where we learn to communicate with our babies about their peeing and pooing. It is not really tt because none of the conventional procedures need to happen because our child has learnt to acknowledge the processes in their body rather than ignore them. Why do it? Less landfill […]

Women are incredibly complex beings. Unlike men, with one primary hormone, testosterone, which you may have noticed is either up or down, women undulate through rhythms and cycles. We live in a delicate balance of oestrogen, progesterone and the best hormone of them all – oxytocin. What is surprising to most people is that the […]
Dear all, Well, we got through the school holiday juggle. I did get sick of popcorn and lemonade at the movies but I really loved not having to be at school by 9am every morning and really enjoyed spending quality time with Leroy and his mates at the beach. Letting ten young boys take over […]
