Most of us know how important sleep is for our overall health and well-being, but a lot of us still struggle to get a good night’s rest. We tend to rely on “sleep hacks” and melatonin to get by without addressing the root cause for poor sleep quality. This workshop explores the science of sleep, the pillars of rest, and why it matters. Whether you’re struggling with insomnia, restless nights, or simply want to optimise your sleep, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to achieve deep, rejuvenating sleep on a consistent basis.

This is a powerful breathwork journey that utilises a bottom-up approach of whole body processing to release negative emotions. The basis of this type of breathwork is that people sometimes retain an emotional experience physically in their body. Learn to release the emotional energy that was retained, suppressed or isolated within the body.

Learn to use the power of sound and vibration to influence your nervous system simply and effectively. Sound therapy works on the scientific principle that everything in nature, including our bodies, vibrates at a unique frequency, which must be balanced. When our natural frequencies go out of sync, they trigger diseases and emotional imbalances.
