From Chaos to Calm: My Yoga Journey
Turning personal turmoil into tranquility through the power of practice.
How Yoga Found Me
In my earlier life as a performer, my world was vibrant and chaotic. Behind the glamour and excitement lay unresolved trauma I didn’t know how to process. Therapy felt like a revolving door—but then, yoga stepped in.
What began as a physical practice became my unexpected refuge. It didn’t just quiet my mind; it helped me rediscover myself. From Melbourne’s bustling arts scene to quiet, soul-restoring retreats, yoga taught me that true transformation doesn’t happen overnight—it’s in the consistent, intentional work we do every day.
SWY is the culmination of that journey—a space where growth, healing, and connection come together.
What I Believe
At SWY, we take yoga seriously—but never so seriously that we forget to laugh. My goal is to meet you where you are, whether you’re here for strength, stillness, or simply a moment of peace.
Each session is designed to empower you. With thoughtfully structured sequences, repetitive progressions, and a touch of playfulness, we aim to build more than flexibility or strength. We build confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself.
"Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees." — B.K.S. Iyengar
A Practice Rooted in Expertise
With over 20 years of personal practice and more than a decade of teaching, I’ve trained with world-class mentors in yoga, biomechanics, and modern anatomy. My approach blends traditional wisdom with evidence-based techniques, ensuring your practice is not only transformative but also safe and sustainable.
Expect personalised attention, alignment-focused instruction, and encouragement to push just beyond your comfort zone—all with care and precision.

SWY: A Studio Beyond Poses
Our studio is more than a space to move—it’s a sanctuary for growth, connection, and self-discovery.
Nestled in the serene Queensland coast, SWY reflects the journey from chaos to calm that yoga brought to my life. Here, we cultivate strength, joy, and peace—together.
Are you ready to take the first step?
At SWY, we embrace yoga as more than just movement—it’s about balance, connection, and honouring life’s natural rhythms. That’s why we operate on a term-based schedule, with intentional breaks that allow space to rest, recharge, and integrate the benefits of practice. Just as we honour pauses on the mat, we honour them off the mat too.
