The most important journey you will take is the one back to self.

Florence creates the unique and sacred experiences to help support women on their self care journey. Whether its' needing a complete reset, needing deep rest, needing a moment to take a breather, a craving of connection, time and space to be with grief, loss or challenges, needing to be held and seen- these private bookings are completely curated to your intention & needs.

Florence calls each private experience a Ceremony as it really adds a layer on love, compassion and intention to the practice. We often know ceremonies to be for weddings or big life moments - which are so beautiful, but LIFE and all of the human experience is worthy of being a ceremony too.

Sacred Rest Ceremony

This is a beautiful, healing and transformative ceremony to completely reset your nervous system, give loving rest to your body & welcome stillness and clarity to your mind.

Florence creates each Ceremony to suit you/ your groups intention for the booking. It can simply be for rest and relaxation, it can be deep support and holding, it can be for closing the chapter on a part of your journey and welcome new. As the name suggests these experiences are rooted in rest and within that so many beautiful things unravel. Florence is known for creating experiences that give you what you needed but didn't know how much you needed it.

As women & mothers we are so often the givers to everyone else. We are innate carers. There is something so special about giving yourself space where you get to take that coat of responsibility off and have someone else hold you.

Sacred Ceremony are powerful for reminding women of how important it is to pause amidst the busy. Returning to self and meeting the woman you are today, just as you are. Giving honour to your journey in motherhood and womanhood and all the paths you have walked.

These ceremonies can be a beautiful offering for any woman craving holistic self care, honouring themself in the midst of the juggle, moving through change and transition, perimenopause, maiden to motherhood, navigating grief, moving through separation, managing stress & overwhelm, in deep fatigue, needing support and guidance or simply just wanting a pause button to rest deeply.

This can also be shared in a unique blend of sacred rest & closing of the bones ceremony for women in post partum at any stage. You can read more about Closing of the bones HERE.

Florence guides and holds space that is rooted in your intention for the booking.

Where does your ceremony take place?

Our surroundings and environment bring their own energy to the ceremony and so I like to hold these sessions in a space where you don't see the dishes, the washing and the distractions. Being able to come to a space where everything is set up and candles are burning and you get to just arrive and exhale out is so beautiful.

These ceremonies take place at a amazing earthly treatment room in Maroubra.

1/25-29 McKeon Street, Maroubra Beach

For some women it can feel more grounding to be in familiar space of your own home and space and so if that is you and you are wanting the booking within your home I can also offer this option. (please email before booking to see availability and travel fee).

What is Yoga Nidra Meditation?

Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a form of guided meditation that has been practiced for centuries. It's a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage, induced by a guided meditation.

The most beautiful part is that it is all about comfort and is practiced lying down with blankets, pillows, eye pillows and essential oils. While it can be done simply just lying down, I love to use these extra nurturing rest tools to allow you to move into even deeper rest.

How Yoga Nidra helps to bring you into a deep state of rest & relaxation

Deep Relaxation State: Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Participants usually lie down in a comfortable position (Savasana), close their eyes, and follow the voice of the instructor.
Guided Meditation: It involves a series of instructions given by a teacher that leads you through a relaxing journey across your body, breath, and mind. The practice often includes body scanning, breath awareness, and visualization techniques.
Consciousness Exploration: Though it's often translated as "yogic sleep," the goal is to remain in a state of semi-awareness. It's about reaching the border between asleep and awake states, where profound relaxation and awareness merge.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra Meditation for Rest

Deep Relaxation: By systematically relaxing the body and mind, Yoga Nidra helps reduce physical tension and mental stress. It shifts the nervous system from a state of arousal to one of calm, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and healing.
Releases Stress and Anxiety: The practice helps in calming the mind and reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. It enables practitioners to explore and release negative emotions and thought patterns, encouraging a state of balance and peace.
Enhances Self-awareness: Regular practice of Yoga Nidra allows individuals to delve into deeper levels of the subconscious and unconscious mind, promoting greater self-awareness and insight. This can lead to profound self-discovery and personal transformation.
Improved Sleep and Health: It can be a powerful tool for combating insomnia and improving sleep patterns. The deep relaxation techniques can help improve overall health, reduce blood pressure, and improve immune system function.
Emotional Healing: By creating a deeply restful state, Yoga Nidra can facilitate healing from various emotional traumas and distressing experiences, allowing individuals to process and integrate these experiences in a supportive and gentle way.
Reconnecting with the Self: The practice encourages a deep sense of stillness and inner peace, helping practitioners reconnect with their true selves. It allows for a quiet space to explore what you need to release and where you need to focus your energy.
Enhancing Mindfulness and Presence: It trains the mind to be more present and mindful, which can enhance clarity, focus, and concentration in daily life.
Cultivating Wholeness: Yoga Nidra supports the journey towards feeling whole, balanced, and integrated, promoting a sense of harmony within oneself and with the world.

Yoga Nidra is a transformative practice that offers profound benefits for the body, mind, and spirit. It aids in relaxation, stress release, and fostering a deeper connection with oneself, leading to increased well-being and a sense of inner peace.
