Simply Sattva

One of the first Ayurvedic practices I adopted was drinking a glass of water out of a copper cup first thing in the morning. I figured it was quick, easy, and wasn’t something that required a lot of maintenance (I’m all for simple ways to be healthy 👌🏻). Not to mention that it helped me get hydrated to start my day 💧

Ayurveda has long recommended drinking water that has been stored in a copper vessel overnight — and interestingly, modern research has also demonstrated copper’s antimicrobial effects against certain disease-causing bacteria 🦠

According to Ayurveda, drinking water stored in copper can also help to get your bowels moving 💩

I now drink out of a copper drink bottle all the time and I love it because the bottle never gets stinky and the water tastes clean! I simply fill it up at night and then drink it during the next day 🤎

Plus, I’ve had lots of positive comments about it 😍

Would you swap your regular water bottle for copper? Let me know below 👇🏻

WE BOUGHT A VAN!!! 🙌🏻🚐

After months of searching, we finally found ourselves the perfect caravan 😍👏🏻

It’s got all the bells and whistles for the adventure of a lifetime, and even though Lotus was the only brand that I DIDN’T want to buy, this second-hand baby was too good to pass up! (Plus, given the association between lotus flowers and Ayurveda, maybe it was actually a sign from the universe 💫 🪷)

So get ready to follow Simply Sattva on tour as we aim to head off on 1 April. Singing bowls, yoga mat and essential oils are already packed 🎶🧘🏼‍♀️🌿

197 days to go! ✌🏻😎

The days are warming up, the bees are buzzing, and the blossom is blooming! 🌸

It’s time to emerge from winter hibernation 🙌🏻

I’ve got a few exciting things on this month, but most of my time will be taken up writing my first ever book 📕

Join me for a sound bath in Yarra, or Align & Unwind in Wang or Barooga 🎶🧘🏼‍♀️✨

Private sessions for yoga and sound healing are also available, as are Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultations 🌿 Send me a DM to organise a time 🤙🏻

Let’s get ready to bloom! 🌸

September 1.

Day 1.

Book writing sprint 📕

1000 words per day for 30 days.

Bring it! 💪🏻

It’s Book Week at my daughter’s school this week and I’ve spent the weekend sewing a dragon costume for her 🐉

She wanted to go as NightWings from the ‘Wings of Fire’ series from Tui T. Sutherland. Described as having ‘purplish-black scales and scattered silver scales on the underside of their wings, like a night sky full of stars’ 🌌✨

Whilst I’m not exactly the world’s best seamstress (in fact, I nearly failed school sewing in Year 8 🙈), I reckon I’ve done a pretty good job of nailing the brief 💪🏻 🖤💜🖤💜

Mesmerised by the sewing machine needle going up and down as it powered through the fabric got me thinking, what if adults had Book Week? Who would I dress up as? 🤔

I’d probably go as Anne of Green Gables because she always loved puffy sleeves on her dresses 👗

So now I’m curious — who would you dress up as and why? 👇🏻

As a sound bath practitioner I don’t usually experience the same chilled vibe that my participants feel during a sound bath, as I’m concentrating on playing.

However, I do get to witness special moments like this 💞

Sometimes we all need a hand to hold 🤲🏻
