Are you ready to turn your wounds into wisdom?

It’s exhausting pretending we’re fine, stuck in survival mode, hiding our pain and anxiety.

We have good intentions, but we sabotage ourselves with fear and overwhelm.

We’ve lost the sense of joy, wonder and purpose. We crave inner peace, yet we’re still at war with ourselves.

You’re not alone. I’ve been there too, and I can help.

Yoga Alchemy is the journey of a lifetime.

Yoga Alchemy is a seven month transformational coaching program.

A unique program for spiritual and personal development.

It’s not a yoga teacher training; there’s no certificate to be gained. Yoga Alchemy will bring more depth, authenticity and confidence to your teaching.

This isn’t about the physical yoga poses, so there’s no expectation that you will have an advanced yoga practice. The only prerequisite is that you have a desire to change your life.

Yoga Alchemy is the inner journey to answer the call of your soul.

Yoga Alchemy is healing from the inside, where we get to the root cause of anxiety, unease and inner turmoil rather than managing or masking the symptoms. When we get to the bottom of what’s holding us back, genuine healing is possible.

It is deep inner work as we tend to our emotional wounds with compassion.

Expect your life and your relationship with yourself to seriously change. The result will be nothing short of a miracle.

When we address our underlying emotions, our head and heart align. When we’re aligned, lasting change and transformation are possible. You will get the tools, coaching and support to do the deep internal work to align your heart, mind and soul.
Yoga Alchemy transforms our wounds into wisdom and grace.

I help clients heal their emotional wounds and overcome self-sabotage so that they can move forward in life with grace.

The next round of Yoga Alchemy will start in late 2025.

You can join the waitlist to  be the first to hear when Yoga Alchemy is open for enrollment. There is no obligation to join the program, and you will receive a $500 discount just for being on the waitlist.

Award winning Yoga Brisbane

No one ever warns you about the emotional stuff in yoga. And when the emotions begin to rise to the surface, it can hit hard and out of the blue.

It did for me anyway.

My body loved yoga. My mind enjoyed meditation, but I lacked the tools to navigate my emotions.

Yoga teachers would tell me to keep practising as if pigeon pose would resolve my emotional issues.

Meditation teachers would tell me to watch and observe my emotions with detachment. I did that for years, and nothing changed.

New age teachers would talk about good vibes only, positive thinking and affirmations, but that just felt like avoidance to me.

Too many ‘spiritual practices’ treat feelings and emotions as problems to be overcome or transcended. They bypass feelings, leaving them unresolved, and for me, these approaches created a deeper rift between my mind and my emotions.

I found a better way when I started practising feminine spirituality. Rather than ignoring, suppressing and bypassing, I found healing through feeling, acknowledging and listening to my emotions.

It wasn’t until I went deep into my subconscious mind and explored my emotional layers with curiosity and acceptance did things change for me. When I finally faced all the emotions that I had suppressed and made friends with the parts of myself I had disowned, I was able to heal and transform.

My intention for Yoga Alchemy is to guide other seekers on this inner journey. Everything I teach, I have applied to myself.

I have overcome my own dark chapters of divorce, breast cancer, loss, grief and trauma. I know what it feels like when we lose hope. My intention is to shine the light of hope for those who are stuck in the dark right now and to provide the tools to thrive after adversity.

I have received national recognition for Overcoming the Odds and was a Bronze AusMumpreneur winner for helping others to thrive after adversity.
