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 also found qigong and Yin Yoga. She found these ancient practices so valuable and healing that she went on to train as a meditation, yoga & qigong teacher, to be able to share their benefits with others.
Adding mindfulness, meditation, qigong and yoga to your bag of 'life tools' is invaluable for navigating the rollercoaster ride of life, and for helping to re-fill your cup.
If you would like to join any of Freya's classes, workshops or retreats please refer to the current timetable on the home page of this website, or contact her directly. You can also find Freya as a teacher on Insight Timer, known as the number 1 app for sleep, anxiety and stress. On Insight Timer Freya offers guided meditations and "live" classes on Friday mornings (AEST) during Australian school term time.
Freya is the award-winning author of - WONDER FULL WOMEN. ATTUNE & BLOOM. EAT, MOVE & MEDITATE WITH THE SEASONS.
Freya is a registered mindfulness & meditation teacher with Meditation Association of Australia, a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance International, a registered Chiropractor with AHPRA and a certified YOQI® (Yoga & Qigong) instructor. She continues to learn, regularly train with others, and attend retreats alongside her daily practice for professional and personal growth.
