In 2018, I first learned Vedic meditation as a stressed and overwhelmed university student, seeking for tools to help me move through life with greater ease, increase my self-confidence and lessen fatigue in my body and mind.

After discovering the simple practice of Vedic meditation, I noticed a profound shift in the way I began to experience my life, as well as a re-discovery and re-connection to my innate state of energy, creativity, calmness, joy and connection, both to nature and with others.

I will never forget learning for the first time, how relaxed I felt almost immediately and realising the stark contrast from my normalised state of being tired, overwhelmed and fatigued on a daily basis.

Vedic meditation felt like a coming home to my nature. It felt like my whole being was finally coming out of the deep waters, breaking the surface and filling up my lungs with fresh air. It felt so natural and was the first technique where I did not have to try, concentrate or put in any effort. I could finally stop doing and just let go with complete abandon.

I fell in love with Vedic knowledge and wisdom. Its timelessness and its vastness is incomparable. Even thousands of years later its truths about life and the nature of our Self remain incredibly relevant.

Over the past 6+ years I have had the opportunity to travel multiple times to India and across south-east Asia on beautiful pilgrimages to places where the Vedic tradition emerged from. I was also charmed to complete advance training in Vedic knowledge, mantra chanting and Sanskrit language with teachers based both in Australia and India. My latest training in 2024 culminated living in south India for 3-months to train as a Vedic meditation teacher. After many years of being a student and a part of a beautiful meditation community in Melbourne, there was a deep sense of choice-less knowing that it’s time to give back and share my infinite love for this practice with others.
