Join My Outdoor Tea Ceremony WhatsApp Chat.

I'm someone who often heads out for tea in nature quite spontaneously, depending on the weather, the season, and what my schedule allows.

Sometimes it's a quiet sit by the river. Sometimes beneath the trees. Sometimes watching the sunrise with a bowl of tea in hand.

If you'd like to receive last-minute invitations to join me for these informal outdoor Tea Ceremonies, send me your mobile number via DM and I'll add you to my WhatsApp group.

No pressure, no commitment—just occasional invitations to slow down, share tea, and connect with nature and community when the moment feels right. 🍵🌿

Exciting news, my kids meditations are now on Spotify!
I'd love it if you could take a listen & share it amongst your community.
All meditations have fun & interesting facts infused, providing not only some space for rest & quiet time, but some gentle learning too!
If your child has a favourite animal or something in nature that they're fascinated by, let me know & I will create a meditation inspired by them!

Offering One Free Space — For Someone Who Needs This Right Now

I'm holding a Rest & Replenish afternoon on Saturday 2-4pm at Metta Wellness Space— a deeply nourishing 2-hour reset with Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

And I'd love to offer one free space to someone in our community who could really use some gentle care right now.
Maybe you're running on empty. Maybe you're holding a lot and haven't had space to soften. Maybe you just know, in your bones, that you need this — but the cost feels like one more thing you can't quite manage.
If that's you, this space is yours.

What This Afternoon Offers:
Restorative Yoga — Gentle, deeply supported poses that let your body completely surrender
Yoga Nidra — A guided meditation in the space between sleep and waking, where deep healing happens
Sacred stillness — Time to rest without agenda or expectation
You'll leave feeling nourished, grounded, and reconnected to yourself. Like you've been held.

How to Claim the Free Space:
If this is calling you, send me a private message and tell me in a sentence or two why you need this right now. I'll choose someone by Wednesday and let you know.

(And if you'd like to come but the free spot goes to someone else, the investment is $45 — there are a few other spaces available too.)

Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is rest.
Let me hold space for you.

My apologies but I've had to make a few cancellations lately, including tomorrow's Sunday Swap Tea Ceremony & this Friday's half day retreat.

I've had a recent surgery that is requiring more rest & recovery time than anticipated.

Thank you for your support & understanding.

Have you ever wished we lived a little more like a village?
A little less transaction, a little more connection.

This Sunday, I'm offering something a little different at Metta Wellness Space in Eltham — a Sunday Swap Tea Ceremony.

Instead of monetary payment, guests are invited to bring something meaningful to exchange. Perhaps it's herbs or flowers from your garden, homemade preserves, eggs from your chickens, something you've crafted, a skill you offer, or simply an abundant gift from the heart.

The idea is simple: to bring community together through sharing our gifts and remembering that we all have something valuable to offer.

We'll gather for a meditative Tea Ceremony, slow down together, connect, and experience a different way of exchanging value—one based on generosity, reciprocity, and trust.

In a world becoming increasingly digital, this feels like a beautiful opportunity to return to something more human.

If this speaks to you, I'd love to welcome you.
9am Sunday Swap Tea Ceremony

My apologies for any disappointment, I have postponed this Friday’s Women’s Circle. We will next gather on the 31st July. ✨🙏

I’ve found myself in so many conversations with women lately around stress, burnout, exhaustion, and overwhelm. So many admitting they don’t know how to slow down. That sitting for a Tea Ceremony, meditation, gentle Yoga, or anything still and quiet feels almost impossible… because their body, mind, and nervous system simply won’t let them.
And I get it. Women are carrying so much… Motherhood, taxi driver, work, the mental and emotional load of the family, relationships — partners, marriages, friendships, family dynamics. Caring for ageing parents while still raising young children, running on broken sleep, their own shifts in hormones and cycles as they age, trying to exercise, eat well, show up for everyone, and somehow squeeze “self-care” into the cracks of an already overflowing life.
We are often praised for how much we can hold… but rarely taught how to rest. As someone who experienced adrenal fatigue for over 10 years, I learnt the hard way that constantly pushing comes at a cost. One of the greatest lessons I learnt was to keep reserves in my tank.
If you’re feeling amazing, still keep 20% for yourself.
If you’re already stressed, depleted, or overwhelmed, maybe only work at 40% maximum of your usual capacity where possible.
Not every season is meant for pushing. We live in a culture that glorifies hustle, striving, overdoing, and constantly achieving more. But sometimes what we truly need isn’t to do more…
It’s stillness. Rest. Nourishment. Space. Replenishment.
You do not need to burn through every drop of yourself to be worthy. What if saving those drops… preserving that energy… is actually what allows you to become the healthiest, strongest, most present version of yourself.
