25.01.2022 Even though we are on school holidays, I am still in training... watch out term 4, I have some surprises in store for you... If you have not booked your place, do it now.. www.getupgirl.com.au

21.01.2022 One more step in the right direction....

21.01.2022 Will my culture thank me if I disrupt its complacency? #excellentquestions

18.01.2022 As I swim in the ocean each morning, I give thanks for the gift of being able to see the sun rise on another day... and I ask myself: If today was my last day, would I be proud of the life I have lived? Have I contributed more than I have complained? Have I given more than I have taken? Have I helped more than I have hurt? ... What questions do you ask yourself each morning?

16.01.2022 Guess what? Life is hard. Sometimes. And sometimes it is downright nasty and very, very challenging. Not every day is going to be doused in sunshine, lollipops and freaking feel good chakra popping moments of joy. And this fake happy, life hacking culture, the one shoved down our throats by every post that claims to be able to improve your life in 10 easy steps? It is, quite frankly, giving me the shits....Continue reading

16.01.2022 Do you make space for difference? Can you cheer for that difference? Can you be in acceptance even if you don't agree with it?

16.01.2022 Why I like to hit shit... Boxing, martial arts, combat... they have all long held a very special place in my self care routine. For very specific reasons.. 1. Because it gets me in my body and into the present moment... 2. Because I can legitimately and safely access my rage - feel it, own it and move it through my body. I don't hold on to it and get mired down in unexpressed anger 3. Because I feel relaxed and soft afterward 4. Because it makes me strut (ps: feeling powerful is also a total turn on) 5. Because I CAN. It's a blessing to have a strong and healthy body and a privelege to live in a society where I have the freedom to do this. What lights you up, gets you in your body, makes you feel powerful (and hot!) And keeps you present?

14.01.2022 You can ask for anything if you're wearing a low cut top.

12.01.2022 Don't let society fool you into believing that if you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend then you're destined for a life of misery. The Dalai Lama has been single for the last 80 years and he is one of the happiest people on earth. Stop searching for happiness in places outside of yourself, and start finding it where it has always been: within you. Miya Yamanouchi

11.01.2022 What is wrong with this picture? So much, so very very much..

09.01.2022 Making a subtle, yet powerful shift back to my professional roots... loving what is showing up in this space... Keep an eye out... individual opportunities to work with me are opening up soon.

06.01.2022 I am a female self defence teacher. Yes, I teach girls how to punch someone in the throat. I teach them how to deal with being choked, grabbed by the hair, dragged from their car, followed on the street, mauled in bars. Yes, I teach them situational awareness, how to walk, what to carry, ways to have the best chance of surviving an attack from a stranger on a street. But that is not what they really need. They really need to know how to have a voice. ... How to speak up. How to speak out. How not to be the good girl, the quiet girl. The well mannered girl, the pleasant girl, the co-operative girl. The yes girl. How to say No, I don’t want to to their boyfriend, husband, lover, when they don’t actually feel like having sex. How to say No, don’t speak to me like that, to their friend, cousin, brother, uncle when the sly innuendos are thrown her way. How to say No, I don't want to kiss you / hold your hand / sit on your lap, to their father, family friend, teacher or Santa. And how to say YES to their gut, their intuition. How to trust themselves over all the other conditioning that is heaped upon them - to be pleasant, to be nice, to be good, to be quiet How to speak up when something just does not feel right about the way they are being treated. ESPECIALLY when it is by someone they know, and should be able to trust. Because the inconvenient fucking truth is that they probably will never have to defend themselves from a stranger on the street. The truth that no-one wants to hear is that they are much more likely to need to be able to defend themselves against a family member, a trusted friend or an intimate partner. The truth is that until we give a girl a voice, it does not matter what weapons we put in her hands, she will never be safe. #getupgirl #giveagirlavoice

05.01.2022 What would YOU do with your life, if you truly, and absolutely believed that you were ENOUGH?
