"God help us to
live slowly
To move simply
To look softly
To allow emptiness
To let the Heart create for us.
Amen."

Review of Freya Bennett-Overstall's "3 Minute RECONNECT" recording on Insight Timer...
"There is no shortage of similar super-short exercises on IT, but this is among the best. Not a moment is wasted.
GREAT for beginners, but more experienced meditators can benefit from it too. Also lends itself to multiple listens." Ron Ehmke

About
Freya has been practising various forms of mindfulness and meditation for many years. Her first experiences were as a child with a regular practice of Yoga, dance and Tai Chi.
When Freya began practising as a Chiropractor in 1997 she also started teaching mindfulness of breath techniques to patients, to help them with sleep and stress reduction.
In 2013 due to a debilitating health challenge Freya had to suddenly stop working as a Chiropractor. She increased her dedication to her daily formal meditation practice and found it so valuable that she decided to train as a meditation teacher and share the benefits with others further.
Her passion has always been working with women and children (as a Chiropractor), so it felt like a natural progression to extend that into her mindfulness, meditation and Yoga teaching. She started teaching mindfulness and meditation at Caulfield Grammar School (the Malvern Junior campus) in 2015 and has been teaching there since. She finds it wonderfully rewarding.
Adding mindfulness, meditation and Yoga to your 'bag of life tools' is invaluable for navigating the rollercoaster ride of parenthood and helping to re-fill your cup. If you would like to join any of Freya's adult classes please have a look at the current timetable or make contact through the link below. Freya would love to help.
You can also find Freya on the 'Fit Mother' program with Chloe Lorback, at Wellness Workshops with Cecilia Rosenberg and some of her guided meditation recordings on INSIGHT TIMER.
Freya is currently a registered mindfulness & meditation teacher with the Meditation Association of Australia. She continues to learn, regularly train with others and attend retreats alongside her daily practice for professional and personal growth. She wholeheartedly recognises the value of mindfulness practices, meditation and yoga and their positive & healing effects on our body, heart and mind.

Testimonials
"Dear Freya,
You have made a difference in my life. I use lots of your strategies in my daily life. I do deep belly breaths to get to bed sometimes. At camp I used so many of your strategies to fall asleep, to encourage myself to do activities and to calm down. The one strategy that works for me is deep belly breathing and when we bend our legs and put our hands in the air. My favourite activity was when we walked around in a circle (slowly). I'm very, very grateful that you were my mindfulness teacher/coach for 2017.
From Annabelle." (9 years old)
