About Vicki

I have had the privilege of being a Registered Midwife and Nurse for decades and of working full-time in all phases of childbirth cycles until motherhood. Whilst working full time, I worked with women, their babies and supporters prenatally, in birthing and postnatally, and also as a Midwifery Educator. Since becoming a parent I have established and conducted Childbirth Classes and
continue working with women and their supporters around childbearing.

Concurrently, I have always loved animals and have been blessed to experience wonderful relationships with them all this lifetime.

This lifetime, perhaps my conscious yoga journey began as a teenager, in junior high school, when I lost my best friend to cancer. After school I moved to Brisbane to commence General Nursing Training. One day off whilst exploring the city I wandered up a set of rickety steps and was greeted by a large, middle-aged, serene, smiling Indian woman and the most wonderful feeling of belonging. Yoga is now so enshrined in my life that it is with me wherever I am and whatever I am doing.

I am blessed to have been able to experience the: - first 200 hour Byron Yoga Centre and Bliss Baby Yoga Prenatal and Postnatal Course in May 2011 - Australia Yoga Therapy Conference in Brisbane in 2014 - annual Australian Yoga Therapy Conferences since 2014 - Spinal Integration: A Workshop with Donna Farhi in 2016 - Restorative Yoga Teacher Training in 2017 - Yoga Therapy and Trauma Workshop with Sal Flynn in June, 2018

I am passionate about safely and sensitively empowering and nurturing:

  • self care
  • women and their supporters around the birthing cycle
  • carers of others. Often these people do not seem to have ‘off buttons’ especially around intense situations
  • humans’ relationships with all non-humans. We have so much to learn from all other mammals, especially horses - balance, strength, power, freedom, being in the present moment, trusting instinct and intuition, unconditional love.
  • humans’ relationships with non animals, hence with all.

Yoga is the light enhancing and supporting these passions.

Improving this light, individually and universally, involves connecting with everything, including ‘our’ selves, ‘our’ children, ‘our’ horses and those in ‘our’ care. Paradoxically, yoga also allows us to move beyond ownership (the ‘our’).
