23.01.2022 Standing by our brothers at Gillette

21.01.2022 We're getting excited to meet old and new friends at @redtentau @boundlessselfloveretreat today! We'll have goodies for your mind, body and soul as well as a surprise collab with my beautiful sister and her cuuuute felted friends! Custom orders are always available, too!

21.01.2022 I've been craving the water and the sand. Do you do that, too? It's such a gentle, relaxing way to just wash all the "stuff" away, breathe in the fresh salty air, ground, discover. Today was the day. And man it felt GOOD! {the water was freezing, but still divine!} I am so grateful that I was born and still live within driving distance of many beaches, just like this. I've travelled all over the world, but South East Queensland is where my heart belongs #washitallaway #healyourshit #createwellness #whereelsebutqueensland #redlipsbluesky #justthewayilikeit

20.01.2022 It is Stroke Awareness Week! I thought I'd share this little story of the son of a colleague and friend, who is 6 years old and had a stroke back in March. It was heart-breaking to hear how it all went down, and what has/will be involved in his recovery. Initially he had very little use of his limbs, hearing, vision and cognitive function were all reduced. Thankfully he has had incredible care. Quinn and his awesome parents have worked SO hard, and what you see in this vid...eo is far from how bad it has been for them. As you will hear, stroke is in the top 10 causes of death in children...say what??? Yup. And here are the 4 symptoms you need to be aware of... think the "FAST" acronym: F - Facial weakness A - Arm weakness S - Speech problems T - Time - if there are any of the symptoms above, get them to the hospital as soon as possible!

19.01.2022 Yo, mummas! We have created a new group especially for mums (and moms!), and we would love to have you join us to share stories and support each other on our same-same-but-different journeys! I have partnered with lots of other mums so there is something for every type of mum, but here's my personal story so far... I have 3 children earth side 11yo , 10yo , 5yo . I also have 2 angel babies due to miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy , and have been a single mum for 2....5 years . I work full-time, dropping my kids to school around 8, picking them up around 6, rinse and repeat, swapping every other week with their Dad and his girlfriend (who I feel so blessed to say both love them very much). I have my kids part-time in my arms, full-time in my heart. I have come to see that whilst I still feel as though I have no idea what I'm doing, I have 3 happy, healthy, clever, capable children that prove to me every single day that I must be doing something right. I have learned forgiveness, patience, humour and gratitude are critical to getting through each day. And most importantly in the last few years, I've learned to be humble and vulnerable and to ask for help when I need it (and boy, do I need it!!). If you've been to my place, you'll know I don't have the perfectly kept house, but it's a warm and lived in home where I hope anyone feels welcome. A home that we've made based on hard work, perseverance, sacrifices, love, and yes, quite a bit of heartache, stress and tears at times. Some people say my kids look like me, others can't see it and say they're more like their Dad . My first two didn't gel so well with breastfeeding, my third loved it. None of them slept through the night till they were about 3 years old , and during at least one of those years I had 4 jobs. I have no judgement of me or others on any of those (or any other) aspects. Wherever you are at, I see you, I love you, and gosh do I admire you!! You are one blessed, incredible, beautiful, inspiring goddess!! I see all the different types of mothers out there, and while I could say that I feel like a "normal mum", I know that there is nothing of the sort. There's no rule book - we all succeed in some ways and flounder in others (even if some don't want to admit it!). PM me to join us in The Miracle Mom group and share your story, your triumphs and your "omg I can't even" moments. This week we have a 5-day Gratitude Challenge happening (we run US time).

15.01.2022 I lost the mental game of yoga today. . I didn't want to go to yoga class at 6am... it's a public holiday after all! If it wasn't for my partner being the yoga teacher, I wouldn't have gone at all. But I did. . I was doing ok for about 20 minutes. My body had other plans though. Or was it my mind? I kept doing the asanas "wrong", losing balance, toppling over... all the things I could normally do, today I couldn't. I was losing the mental game of yoga.... . It went down hill pretty quickly. Thankfully I was the only student today. I quickly spat out "this is Sandra giving up" and went into child's pose, and didn't come out of it. I cried. Like the snot dripping down onto your yoga towel kind of cry. And I lied. But who gives a shit about lying to your partner when he asks "are you ok babe?" and you nod back, trying to hide the tears (badly) with your head between your legs (except in this case, literally also). . In my mind I was yelling at people, throwing equipment all over the studio, maybe punching a hole through this wall mandala. Mentally I was giving yoga the bird. . But this is the thing about my glorious awake, all yoga embracing partner. He knew I wasn't ok. And although I told him to keep practicing without me, he didn't. He simply came over and kissed me on the head and cuddled me. Then just sat back and waited. . I was there a good 10 minutes. Crying. Snotting all over the towel some more {I guess yoga studios don't usually need tissues cause there were none... he had already looked}. My mind slipping into darkness and then snapping myself back out of it. Rinse and repeat. But he just waited there. And then I realised... . He was simply just holding space for me. . FOR ME. He didn't care that I was a mess, so I was allowed to simply be that mess. {Say what? When was the last time you could simply be a mess without judgement from yourself or others? Bizarre feeling. One I could get used to, though!} . Eventually I moved, and he changed the class into a restorative one. And I just lay there and stared at this mandala cause that's about all I could manage.. . I lost the mental game of yoga today. . But tomorrow is a new day. See more

15.01.2022 I realise I look half asleep, but I'm posting this anyway as I'm just SO excited that my Reiki journey has begun. Full of love and gratitude for my dear friend and now Reiki Master, Deena from @spirit_weaver_crystals . I am just feeling so loved up right now, what a beautiful, beautiful modality . Grateful for the next few months to practice on friends and family, then Level 2, then I'll be adding Reiki sessions to my healing bag of tricks for you all

14.01.2022 Take a deep breath... Can you feel these glorious winds of change? P.S. I'm back!!

12.01.2022 I'm feeling creative today, how about you? I may have gifted myself some new colouring pencils. My pack of 24 just didn't give enough colour variation, ya know?! Oh, and have I mentioned I'm currently doing an Art Therapy course? What better way than to combine my love of colour and healing!

12.01.2022 Something's brewing at Create Wellness!! Ideas have been flowing and content has been pumping out of me this weekend. I am grateful for this time and opportunity to be able to sit, breathe, play and create (and sometimes all 4 at once!). Stay tuned!

11.01.2022 THE POWER OF SCENT We're doing a mild version of Konmari around our house. (Yes, #bandwagon) I've come to a box that has been untouched for years - a box of my old perfumes. Now, I haven't worn perfume in YEARS. I no longer enjoy the wafts of chemicals coming from other people let alone putting them on my skin. It's au-naturale or essential oil pure-fume all the way for me these days and has been for the 4 years I've been with doTERRA. So this box has to go!... ... Except for this little bottle. THIS bottle #sparksjoy. This bottle belonged to my late grandmother, or as we called her, "Ma". It was her signature scent. It is one of the few belongings of hers I have, along with the hand-stitched tablecloth and napkins, and some opal jewellery. Every time I see this bottle I think of her. And every time I open this bottle, I well up with tears. It takes me straight back to her and her, and her cheeky smile and contagious laugh. She sure knew how to have fun. Oh how I miss her, and am SO grateful for her lessons in simplicity, creativity, love, laughter, overcoming hardships, caring for others. #thislittlebottle #konmari #createwellness See more

11.01.2022 Inspiration at any age

10.01.2022 Beauty is everywhere, and in everyone. Today I woke with a fresh perspective on life, business, creativity, and ME. So I put on the cute underwear (honesty post, it's not always cute). I don't have a partner. No one else will see it but me. No one will even know but me. And I am so worth it! Inspired by this video, I even took a few sneaky pics, and guess what, they're not as horrible as I was expecting! What are you wearing today that makes you feel a bit special and beautiful? P.S. Don't be rude and ask for the pics, they're already deleted anyway.

08.01.2022 I'll be presenting again this week within the Miracle Tribe group... and this time it's all about COLOUR! One of my favourite things! What do certain colours mean? Why is blue your favourite colour but you can't stand yellow? What colours can balance each other out? How can you use colour day to day to create/invite your desired feelings/people/experiences, etc? All this and more will be covered! ... (and yes, for my US friends... in Australia we spell it colour, not color... it's all good!) I'm so thrilled to be joining some incredible, down to earth, authentic women this week, who share their stories and wisdoms with love and leadership. Women and men are welcome to join us in this FREE Facebook group at any time. We have summits every other week on aaaaalll kinds of topics to do with mindset, personal growth, and whatever could help you on your path to living your best and happiest life (and whatever else feels right to share at the time)! PM me for details, and please share if you may have friends that might be interested in any of these topics too We keep the Facebook Lives to around 20 minutes so it's easy to squeeze into your day. We run on global time (ie go Live whenever suits us in our timezone, haha!), so although I'm on Wednesday, I'll be going live early Thursday morning Aus time to try and cover Aus, UK and US . Hope to see you there!

07.01.2022 Just a reminder to put out ALL of your crystals for a yummy cleanse in this full moon in Pisces light. Or is it just me who regularly forgets their jewellery also? . Fun fact: Just as I was lining things up to take this photo my phone restarted itself... talk about a sign! There has been so much scattered, yucky energy this past week that even my phone needed some time out! Beware of emotional overwhelm, and with the full moon, bless and release what isn't yours and what no longer serves. Don't get so caught up in helping others that you lose yourself. Drop the "I'm fine" act, and take some time out to breathe and reconnect with YOU. Embrace new opportunities and gifts... feel them deeply in your heart, they are there for you!

04.01.2022 It's my birthday next week, and I gifted myself a retreat. Thank you @r.e.a.l_essentials for creating this bliss, and for making me feel confident and comfortable to run my first Liquid Crystals workshop , I am so looking forward to facing that fear, popping that cherry, haha. And thank you For Lucy for these gorgeous, nourishing soaps #practicewhatyoupreach #createwellness

02.01.2022 This week or is all about one of my favourite topics... Self-care! It's not a comfortable concept for many people. Women are often giving too much of themselves to serve others, men are often too bold to think they need it. It's taken me being a single mumma and learning my limits, being vulnerable, to realise just how critical it is to my sanity and well-being. ... We ALL need self-care, whether it's just some time out to ourselves, time to catch up with friends, or a true pampering session. It's not selfish, it's self-full. Come join us and The Miracle Moms for free this week to learn more! Comment or PM for details.

01.01.2022 Today is 8/8, aka the Lionsgate Portal! There are so many gems throughout this article, but here's what hit the hardest for me right now... "We live in a world where showing empathy is not always encouraged, but if the Sirian waves can tell us anything, it is that love reigns supreme. In fact, the only thing that is real, the only thing that is left when we strip the ego bare, is love."
