WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga is a holistic practice that helps build strength and flexibility in your body and your mind. My yoga classes include pranayama (breathwork), asana (poses) and savasana (the best bit at the end of every class where you lie down for mediation / relaxation!).

DO I NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE?
NO! Yoga helps build flexibility, but it's definitely not the entire aim of the practice or a requirement for you to start. For group classes, you do need to be able to get up and down from your mat (sitting to standing). If you do have an injury or limitation, please make sure you let your teacher know before class.

WHAT DO I WEAR?
It doesn’t matter what you wear as long as you can move easily.

WHERE ARE CLASSES HELD?
Group classes are held at Grampians Movement & Wellbeing Centre (aka 'The Hub) at 11A Ararat Road, Stawell. We have a big mat room and spare where you can put aside your shoes, phone, bag etc while you hop on to your mat and forget about life for an hour!

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
A yoga mat if you have one. If you don't, I have plenty of spares.
If you are coming to Restore, bring a yoga bolster if you have one. I do have a few spares if you don't.
Layers of clothing: Depending on the class (and the time of the year!), we usually move from cool, to warm, and back to cool again so bring any layers you need to be comfortable.
Any extra props/comforts you need, eg: socks, blanket, cushion, eye pillow.

CAN I ATTEND IF I HAVE AN INJURY, LIMITATION OR AM PREGNANT?

Yes, with awareness. If you are pregnant, have recently given birth or have a medical condition, please seek medical clearance before attending. Let me know before class so I can offer safe, supportive modifications.

ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW?
Avoid heavy meals for 1-2 hours prior to your practice.  The last thing you want is an uneasy feeling in your belly during your practice!

WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is an energy therapy that works with your nervous system. Using gentle hand placements around your body, always with your comfort in mind (hands-on or hands-off, entirely your choice), it helps shift you out of fight or flight and into rest and digest mode so your body can properly rest and recover.

WHAT IS SOUND THERAPY?
Sound Therapy uses instruments like singing bowls, tongue drums, wave drums and chimes to help shift your brainwaves into a slower, more relaxed state and stimulate the vagus nerve, the nerve directly responsible for switching off your stress response. Because your body is mostly water, the sound also travels through your tissues and bones, working almost like a gentle internal massage.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?
You'll settle onto the Reiki bed, covered and comfortable, with your choice of a lavender or unscented eye pillow. I'll guide you into relaxation with three cleansing breaths and clear the space with my Native American drum, then move through Reiki hand placements around your body before finishing with Sound Therapy and a gentle return to the room.

WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
Everyone experiences it a little differently and every session will be different. You may notice warmth, tingling, heaviness, lightness or simply a deep sense of rest. There's no right or wrong way to experience it.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Absolutely nothing but yourself! Wear something comfortable.

HOW WILL I FEEL AFTERWARDS?
Reiki keeps working for a few days after your session. It's common to feel a little fatigued at first, this wears off quickly, and most women sleep well and feel steadier for days afterward. Drink plenty of water and take things gently where you can.

ARE SESSIONS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
Yes, though if you're pregnant, navigating a medical condition or have any specific concerns, let me know when you book so I can make sure the session is right for you.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I COME?
Reiki has a cumulative effect, so many women find sessions every 2 to 4 weeks help maintain a sense of balance. I'll always ask if you'd like to book your next session while you're with me, so you never have to think about it later.

WHAT IS WELLBEING COACHING?
Coaching is a supportive space to help you gain clarity, confidence and direction. I blend grounded coaching tools with practical wellbeing strategies so you can move forward with intention and ease.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?
We explore where you are, what’s feeling heavy and what you want to change. You’ll leave with clarity, simple practices and next steps that feel realistic for your life.

WHO IS COACHING FOR?
Women who feel stretched thin, overwhelmed or unsure where to start, and who are ready for calm, clarity and change.

WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I NEED?
That’s completely normal! Don't worry, we'll work through it together.

WHAT IS THE 3E METHOD™?

The 3E Method™ is my signature framework, built to help you find out what's actually keeping you stuck and then build something that holds once you've found it. It moves through three phases: Embracing where you are, Empowering you to know your worth, and Embodying the woman you're becoming.

WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM INVOLVE?

You'll move through weekly coaching, simple wellbeing practices and guided reflection. In the first two weeks you'll regulate your nervous system and find the belief sitting underneath your patterns. In the middle two you'll get clear on your values and build boundaries from them. In the final two you'll turn it all into habits you keep, and learn to run the whole process again on your own. Everything is practical and designed to fit real life.

DO I NEED PAST EXPERIENCE WITH COACHING OR WELLBEING WORK?

Not at all. The 3E Method™ is beginner-friendly and intentionally designed for women who feel stuck or disconnected from themselves. I guide you step by step through the whole process.

WHAT MAKES THE 3E METHOD™ DIFFERENT?

Most wellbeing advice assumes that once you can name what's keeping you stuck, you'll change it. Sometimes that's true. But some beliefs are doing a job for you: protecting you from a risk, holding up your sense of who you are, or saving you from a decision you don't feel ready to make. Those ones don't shift just because someone points out they aren't serving you. The Embrace phase is where we work out what the belief is actually doing for you, and what could hold that weight instead.
