WHAT DOES ANAHATA MEAN?
Over the years people have asked me what ‘Anahata Space’ means. Anahata is the chakra or power station of the heart and lungs. An ancient Sanskrit word meaning unstruck, unheard, or unbeaten, an endless sound, a vast space. It is about vitality, giving yourself space, and setting yourself free. It’s the space through which desires are realised and through which life transforms. “the wish fulfilling tree”. The heart and the lungs are the key to transformation as the rate of the breath and heart creates all that you are in every moment.

ABOUT ALCHEMICAL YOGA
Alchemic yoga is about activating the organs and glands by squeezing and stretching the body, like most forms of yoga, we use yoga poses (or asanas) and breathing. The secret is in the difference, with alchemic yoga we also focus on getting energy into the organs, because it’s the organs (not muscles) that run the body’s chemistry and emotions.
Nurturing our organs creates healthy systems. I teach according to the seasons as specific organs work harder through each season and create different emotions. Combining three ancient disciplines – tantric, energy techniques, Chinese medicine, and yoga – we support the body by working the right side, middle and left side.
Working the right side is about the ascending colon. The digestive system moves up on the right, so we support a healthy flow of food through the body and to feed the liver in the right lower rib cage. Did you know it makes its own soaps? So another reason we start on the right is to use these to cleanse the body, washing out old programming from the cells. This counteracts acidity in the body too, so you feel light and calm and have less chance of creating blockages of all sorts. It is our spirit. This is where we feel light, clear and enthusiastic!
Working the middle is about the endocrine glands which secrete hormones - our soul energy. We use these hormonal oils to nourish and regenerate the body and to reprogram cellular patterns. so here we keep our mind and emotions on what we want not what we don’t want. We activate the chakras and core muscles to set off the endocrine glands. We also lubricate the joints via the small intestines, the healthier this 18-foot-long tube is the better the joint health. This is where we feel warm, nourished and creatively juicy!
Working the left is about the spleen to strengthen, tone and set the body and to fix the new programming into each cell. It releases amino acids which combine and neutralise with the alkaline from the right creating a perfect pH balance. This is important because acid and alkaline enter the hormones, excess acid thickens the blood and hormone and limits their flow and may create blockages. The spleen creates strength, so while working this side we keep our focus on what we want to create in our lives. This embeds into our being by toning every cell wall and holding the idea within. Knowing that the cells are waiting for our command every second of the day we must keep FOCUS here.
A healthy right (sprit/mind) and left (body) creates a more perfected soul, a calm focus or a relaxed confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE:
YOGA
Besides my experience through practice and embodiment this is how I came about
My first yoga classes were at The Australian Yoga School, Bondi Junction in 1989 practicing for a while there I was told by my teacher if I kept up the practice, I would be teaching within three years. That is exactly what happened without planning.
In 1991 I met my foremost yoga/tai chi teacher and healer John Burke, perfect timing as I was not in a very good state of health. I studied and practiced intensely with him for seven years and still continue to learn with him today. After three years into my journey with John, I took myself on a personal 14 month retreat, utilising all the tools he shared with me. On this sabbatical I met other amazing healers and workshop leaders whom I learned from, this is when I created some of my most transformative experiences. As it was not only yoga I learned, it was the way energy works and controls us by intensity of thought, emotion and visualisation. I used these tools and my own internal power to create change and heal.
I made a friend Bob McDonald when I was giving talks in Gundagai whom taught me a few different chi kung practices and John shared others with me. Everywhere I went I met amazing healers that worked with me and taught me, such as Prime Tuning, bush flower remedies, herbal medicine, sound journeys, Vedic chanting.
I met Swami Sarasvati in 2001, She grew up in her father's ashram in India and was one of the first people to bring yoga to Australia, as well as channel nine's yoga teacher in the 70's. I became quite close with Swami and found her to be a genuine yogi, using the philosophies of yoga in daily life and understanding the human experience, I gained learning on human nature and how to BE. 2002 I completed my yoga teacher’s diploma and received outstanding guest award. I continued studying with Swami for a further three years until I moved up north.
In 2010/11 I studied modules of yoga therapy with Ganesh Mohan from the Krishnamacharya tradition and in 2012 a psychological module in yoga therapy with Sal Flynn.

HEALING EXPERIENCE
In 1993 I travelled to Thailand, only to have my kidneys flare up again, I could not twist my body and thought I would have to return home. I met a Thai woman whom taught me Thai massage but spoke no English so I learned via observation and intuition. She told me there was a book written in English, which I found at a market; this is how I found Asokananda, teacher of Traditional Thai Massage. Travelling to a small mountain village of northern Thailand, I learned how to enhance and balance the body's energy systems via the meridians/pranic channels and manipulating the body into yoga positions to release tensions, pains and other ailments. Waking at 5am to meditate atop a mountain, followed by a rich red sunrise yoga and chanting, then moving into 10 hours of body work per day. combining the learning of the massage with meditation, yoga and chanting brought me into a deep healing space, I felt so calm and energised that when I returned home I felt more than what I would achieve on a restful holiday. This was a very deep journey of healing
Returning to Australia my teacher John recognised my natural talent for healing and taught me energy balancing, digestive treatments, lymphatic drainage herbs and much more. I have learnt from many healers of many different modalities, which I met through my own inner journey, they have happily shared their work with me. The most recent in 2020 with Elaine Croker - Prime Tuning Healing of Cellular Vibration, which I find is profound work as it has the power to shift up to twelve generations of programming via cellular stress releases!
In the mid to late 90’s I gave talks at healing conventions in Gundagai where I first met Elaine Croker and attended her courses there and again received profound healing. I also met and joined in courses with many other amazing body and energy workers. Lovely Gay McDonald whom organised these events used to house a few of us in her home where her husband Bob an alternate dentist taught me chi kung.
When following your heart’s desire you naturally end up in the right place at the right time. There is no such thing as coincidence.
“Where your mind goes energy flows”. Always be aware of where your mind goes.
I have practiced and taught many forms of healing and energy exercise through my years and absolutely adore seeing the transformation of my clients.
I have also taught: swimming, surf awareness, capoeira (Brazilian martial art and dance), yoga - infant, primary, high school students and adults, ran health and wellness courses for corporations and trained youth certificate 4 in business. This proves me to be a natural teacher.

My Healing Story
At the age of 25 I was a picture of health; tanned, very muscular body, and a broad smile. From the outside I seemed to have my life together. But we all know looks can be deceiving. I was unwell.
My problem was that I was 'obsessive' in everything I did. I worked hard, trained hard, and played even harder. The motto I lived by was “If you’re gonna go it, go it all the way.” I was in complete burn-out, continually running away from myself, my feelings.
I sought help from many practitioners from chiros and podiatrists to naturopaths and doctors with no lasting relief. I remember once visiting my doctor with a severe bronchial, asthmatic cough only to be told the lung tests showed they were healthy as an athlete’s.
Eventually my doctor did a more complete check-up. He found liver disorders as well as having sciatica down my entire right leg causing me pain and a very sore mid to lower back. He also suggested a psychiatrist as he said I was depressed. I was devastated by these serious diagnoses and realised I was depressed.
A week later I met John Burke, the originator of alchemic yoga and a healer. In my first session he placed his hand above my liver and asked if I could feel the heat, then did the same over my kidneys, I felt absolute burning. My entire filtration system was burnt out due to obsessiveness, hence the depression.
He explained obsession runs in my genes and while it’s difficult to change an obsessive personality, I could change my obsessions to more healthy ones. This was my key to transformation and healing.
John told me not to wait until I stopped my behaviour but to start his yoga to experience a natural high. He explained this would stop me feeling any need to continue substance abuse and the damaging obsessive lifestyle including over exercising and working. I continued regular healing treatments with John, took herbs, and practised yoga daily including sound, visualisation and self-love. I became obsessed with healing myself, which brought balance to body, heart and mind.
This may sound funny but I created a relationship with my organs by talking to and loving them every day! Telling my obsessive spleen to slow down and my sluggish liver to pick up, I began to heal and feel.
During one healing session, I had a visualisation of a dark-haired boy in a dark room. This boy was very scared to go outside, he was depressed. Outside, a blonde-haired boy, overactive (anxious) started to skip down a hill, but in his over-excitement, he tumbled down, landing at the door of the dark-haired boy. He beckoned for the dark-haired boy to come outside; his mother encouraged him to go. He reached his hand out the door immediately feeling the warmth of the sun, took the hand of the dark-haired boy and they both skipped off in harmony, the blonde boy relaxed and the dark-haired boy confident and happy. This visualisation represented the fact that my liver/spirit and my spleen/ body and mind were now in balance.
I once recounted this story to my father (who since died of liver cancer and alcohol abuse), he told me that this was sad. When I asked why he said his brother had painted a picture of a boy in a dark room just before he too had died of liver cancer due to abuse – but sadly he hadn’t had the chance to paint the boy in the light.
I say this to illustrate that we have the power to change things that are stamped in our DNA. All of my dad’s family and some of my mother’s had problems with addiction/obsession. I am living proof that we can change these genetic stamps, now my children and the next generations will no longer hold that stamp.
Six months later I went back to the doctor for the same tests I originally had. The liver disorder was not detected. It was healed. My new life motto was “If you’re gonna do it, do it right.”
I met a Tantric priest who took one look at me and said, “A true alchemist is one that has healed a disease,” he then smiled at me.
Because of this miraculous healing and transformation in my own life, I am always inspired to share my experience and knowledge with others who wish to heal, increase their health and enjoy a natural, joyful way of living. I will admit it took a lot of focus, self-dedication and time, but isn’t that the way all things work, it wasn’t an overnight event that brought us where we are today.
Continual positive practice keeps us in a healthy and positive place, everything naturally works itself out!

Outside, a blonde-haired boy, overactive (anxious) started to skip down a hill, but in his over-excitement, he tumbled down, landing at the door of the dark-haired boy. He beckoned for the dark-haired boy to come outside; his mother encouraged him to go. He reached his hand out the door immediately feeling the warmth of the sun, took the hand of the dark-haired boy and they both skipped off in harmony, the blonde boy relaxed and the dark-haired boy confident and happy. This visualisation represented the fact that my liver/spirit and my spleen/ body and mind were now in balance.
I once recounted this story to my father (who since died of liver cancer and alcohol abuse), he told me that this was sad. When I asked why he said his brother had painted a picture of a boy in a dark room just before he too had died of liver cancer due to abuse – but sadly he hadn’t had the chance to paint the boy in the light.
I say this to illustrate that we have the power to change things that are stamped in our DNA. All of my dad’s family and some of my mother’s had problems with addiction/obsession. I am living proof that we can change these genetic stamps, now my children and the next generations will no longer hold that stamp.
Six months later I went back to the doctor for the same tests I originally had. The liver disorder was not detected. It was healed. My new life motto was “If you’re gonna do it, do it right.”
I met a Tantric priest who took one look at me and said, “A true alchemist is one that has healed a disease,” he then smiled at me.
Because of this miraculous healing and transformation in my own life, I am always inspired to share my experience and knowledge with others who wish to heal, increase their health and enjoy a natural, joyful way of living. I will admit it took a lot of focus, self-dedication and time, but isn’t that the way all things work, it wasn’t an overnight event that brought us where we are today.
Continual positive practice keeps us in a healthy and positive place, everything naturally works itself out!
