Be Your Own Guru I offer body-based holistic health support through Yin Yoga, fascial unwinding, and personalised 1:1 sessions. The aim is not dependency, but capacity.

Holistic Health Practitioner
Yin Yoga | Fascial Unwinding | Personalised 1:1 Support
I offer body-based practices & 1:1 services that support a return to peace & calm. My work centres on listening to the body as an intelligent system. Rather than forcing change, we create the conditions for regulation, release, and insight to emerge naturally. This may support nervous system balance, reduced tension, greater body awareness, and a stronger sense of self-trust. I don’t position myself as the expert over your experience. Instead, I work alongside you to help you reconnect with your own inner guidance. Tools you can feel, understand, and carry into daily life. This is slow, embodied work for people who want sustainable change and a deeper relationship with themselves. [email protected]

Fascia is the amazing substance within our bodies that holds everything together.

Muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and even our organs.

When we listen deeply to the fascia, it has the remarkable ability to unwind, to soften, release, and reorganize long-held patterns. These may be connected to past physical events like concussions, impacts, surgeries, or injuries, as well as emotional tensions or protective responses the body has stored over time.

Because fascia is both structured and fluid, it can change its tone and tension when given the right conditions. As these shifts occur, the body can naturally move toward greater alignment, ease, and balance. This often supports reduction in pain, improved mobility, and a sense of clarity or emotional release.

Fascia unwinding is a gentle technique is simply listening & witnessing the bodies stories & patterns. Your body will convey what it needs in the moment.

Sessions are held at Misty River Retreat just a short 10 min drive from Blenheim & also online.

Single sessions available as well as 3 x session packages dependent on your needs.

I relish in the fact I bought this trampoline in my late 40s.

It's not for my kids, cause I've got none, it's for me.

This represents my values.

Values in health, play, mobility, freedom, strength & caring for my body.

We've been sold the narrative that aging = a decline in health & function. One can believe that if one wants. Because what we believe is true right?!

But what if there was another possibility available?

One where one thrived in health & vitality as they grew wiser?

I practice what I teach & let my body & being be an example of that. I'm honoring my ancestors & changing the tides of our story. It's been work, but worth it.

My inner child is more alive & embodied than ever, and she's ready to live & play!

How are you living & aligning with your values?

Mixed feelings dance through with today's situation.

Mostly acceptance, mixed with some sadness.

Mamma Lambs babies didn't make it & I must have shown up moments after.

The unfairness of nature.

The acceptance of what is.

Wondering how she feels?

The desire to do more, knowing I can't and accepting this as it is.

Wondering about the theme of this situation into my own life.

The piwakawaka visited me at lunch today and reminded me of death. I heard it's message, then here it was.

What parts of me are still dying?

How long does it take to 'die' before being reborn? Can you be reborn & still be dying? Nothing is linear.

The frost fans are on & she is there.

I hold her, her babies and the land in my heart as it is all felt. 💗

Fu***ng life. Heartbreaking & beautiful all at the same time.

What's your number?

Our grip strength can dictate our overall strength. So I wanted to give this challenge a go.

How long can you hang for?

90 seconds is recommended for females.

Coming in cold today and slightly tired from yesterday's hanging during my session - but I'll take it.

Have you heard about Fascia yet?

Fascia is now understood to be one of the most expansive and interconnected systems in the human body. It wraps and weaves through everything — muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and even our organs. Many describe it as a kind of “human internet,” an intelligent web that communicates throughout the whole system.

When we listen deeply to the fascia, it has the remarkable ability to unwind — to soften, release, and reorganize long-held patterns. These may be connected to past physical events like concussions, impacts, surgeries, or injuries, as well as emotional tensions or protective responses the body has stored over time.

Because fascia is both structured and fluid, it can change its tone and tension when given the right conditions. As these shifts occur, the body can naturally move toward greater alignment, ease, and balance. This often supports reduction in pain, improved mobility, and a sense of clarity or emotional release.

Curious how Fascia Unwinding can support you?

Let your body unwind the stories it has been carrying. Create greater fluidity within to support your daily living.
