Hey there!
I’m Ros
I’m passionate about normalizing rest and helping women to make it a priority. It’s not lazy, it’s whole-body restoration and absolutely bloody necessary.
I value a gentle, slow approach to living and in the last few years this has seen me consciously and deliberately moving away from relentless overdoing and overscheduling. Instead, honouring, and following natures cycles, carving out time for stillness and spaciousness and joyful exploration of activities and interests that light me up.
I’m most at home in nature, the ocean will always bring be back to peace, but I feel equally connected to the bush. I live with my family on the Gold Coast on an acre of land with plenty of room to grow vegetables, surrounded by gum trees (big exhale).
I haven’t always been this grounded or connected to myself
Over the years I have lost my way countless times. To most it looked like my life was perfectly fine but, growing up I was an expert level people pleaser, skilled at putting on a smiling face and shapeshifting into the version of myself that I thought people wanted in any given situation.
And this worked until I started to feel like I was being floored almost daily with a persistent niggling feeling that there was more to life. It was completely exhausting and a lonely way to live.
Deep down I ached for real connection and belonging, but I was terrified of being seen – believing that I was not enough for most people and too much for the rest.
The tipping point came after my children were born. I experienced PND and anxiety became an all too familiar companion.
I saw a plethora of health professionals (Naturopaths, GPs, Osteopaths, Energetic Healers, Psychologists, Nutritionists) and while they helped ENORMOUSLY I still felt as though I would take a few steps forward and then slide right back to where I had been.
Before too long I started to wonder if perhaps I was too “broken” too be put back together.
Nervous system regulation was the missing piece, it’s the foundation that underpins our health on all levels.
I’ve spent the last decade journeying within to heal and release stories, wounds, and belief systems that were keeping me contracted, and stuck in repeated pain and disharmony loops – effectively preventing me from living a more lighthearted and expansive life.
More recently I have come to understand that this work needs to be a regular part of my life as I continue to dance with my shadows, reconcile childhood experiences and work on strengthening the relationships in my life in a meaningful and authentic way.
If this is you too I get it. I know firsthand the value of having a safe space to be held and seen while you reconnect with all parts of yourself (even the messy, wounded parts).
Let me walk beside you and equip you with down to earth tools and practices that help you anchor into to self-empowered healing.
dive a little deeper
i believe that integrative healing approached with consideration, compassion and gentleness can be incredibly powerful
i believe that working with our nervous systems and engaging with our bodies is foundational for healing
i believe nature has the answers we are looking for if we make space to slow down and reconnect purposefully with all she has to offer and teach us
i believe in restoring sacred presence and spontaneous joy in my life..... one moment at a time
it lights up my heart when you leave my presence feeling deeply cared for
