“I believe it is through connecting with our authentic self that we rediscover the wellspring of deep inner stillness, wisdom, strength and joy within each of us, thus allowing healing to occur on many levels.”
~ Bernadette, Director of Yoga and Holistic Bodywork
Therese
With over 15 years experience as a physiotherapist, Therese’s practice of holistic health deepened with her own journey into yogic lifestyle and mindfulness meditation since 2009. Since then her array of bodywork has broadened and taken her from rural Australia around the world, learning, adapting and evolving her heart-centred practice along the way. The key point of any session with Therese is deep relaxation, a state from which we can more easily connect with the innate wisdom within to go through the healing journey (life!) with awareness, compassion and connection.
