Refined Offerings

From May to September this year; I gave birth to my daughter and navigated matresence, re-enrolled in my Bachelor of Health Science studies, passed Human Biological Science at 90%, travelled to the Sunshine Coast, returned to yoga teaching, healed my body, spent the whole month of September with back to back family visitors, began writing my book and adopted the full-time role of breastfeeding.

I’m aware that I have experienced a rare and smooth introduction to motherhood. To be honest, my joyous new reality is thanks to the voices and stories of the women who suffered during this time. I have intently listened to them, learned how and what can make a first-time mum slip, I have become immune to the intimidating forces and entities that feed off vulnerable mothers and newborns, so, I primed myself. I felt mentally prepared for the largest hormonal drop, I honoured and expressed all my emotions through writing, painting, meditating, movement and therapy. I reined in supports, spiritually cleansed and created boundaried containers to roll with the storms. I lay on the Earth. Sung to the moon. I ate and ate and ate. Friends and loved ones dropped off warm meals. Daily Yoga Nidra turned my cells around. I watched my daughter’s eyelashes grow. It has been the busiest four months of my life. The fullest. I have never felt more true to myself. Ever.

I must also thank my amazing Man. The most divine I have ever met. He is the backbone of my rebirth. My love for him is eternally omnipresent.

Everything makes sense now. Every menstruation. Every country I have set foot in. Every lover I’ve ever had. Every heartbreak. The termination of my two pregnancies before my daughter. My Sexual assaults. Yep, plural. I have a daughter now. My power, my work, my healing, my ancestral cycle breaking, my yoga, my business, my purpose, now breathes in my lap and demands hot milk every few hours. I prize her need.

There have been challenges, no doubt. I am grateful for my “off the mat” yoga practice that has assisted me in how to respond, rather than react to, such challenges. Our daughter is healthy and happy, so we are also blessed in that avenue.

I have been navigating multiple channels, and this has been possible thanks to the art of simplifying.

Which brings me to the point of this post. I have refined my offerings. I only have 20 sessions available until the end of 2025. Once upon a time, I was easily managing 20 sessions over three days. Hilarious. But for now…..

Appointments with Sanative Sanctuary are now given in my home studio in Brunswick. Pricing is based on a time structure. There is still flexibility within these times to alter the sessions, based on your needs. You still have access to all my tools when you visit. Your options for appointments with me are as follows:

ONE-HOUR SESSION $160

This session is for clients who already know how to switch off their mind as soon as they hit the massage table. A brief consultation illuminates how our time will be spent. Reflexology, Reiki or Ayurvedic Head massage. A timely, yet deeply aligning reset. Affordable in both time and investment.

90 MINUTE SESSION $200

In this session, we begin with an Oracle Reading to address and discuss any spiritual and emotional contributing factors to your body's current state, then, we ground and integrate with a Full Body Massage and Tuning Fork Chakra Attunement.

TWO-HOUR SESSION $222

A ceremony. We open with the heart medicine of Mama Cacao. We move through an Oracle Reading to discuss the spiritual and emotional contributions to imbalance, then we integrate our discussions with grounding warm stones and specific essential oils with a Full Body Massage. We close this ceremony using Sound Therapy & Incantation. Holistic and truly transformative.

75 MINUTE PREGNANCY MASSAGE or POST-NATAL SESSION $180

PREGNANCY: Allow yourself to be completely looked after anytime after your first trimester (12 weeks).
Pregnancy is a potent rite of passage that deserves intentional attention, nourishment, space holding and connection. A pregnancy pillow is available to provide incredible support. You can expect a blend of deep tissue release, reflexology, relaxation techniques and Reiki to support your mind and spirit during this profound journey of inner and physical transformation.

POST NATAL: From 6 weeks. Bub is welcome, and our session start time is flexible. Arrive within the hour of your appointed session. Buffering time once you arrive is considered for tending to bub/feeding/settling, etc. Bassinet is provided. This session is comprised of a back, neck, scalp and shoulder massage to ease those nursing aches and strains, calming the mind of all the change it is growing through. A deeply nourishing and tender womb massage for emotional, spiritual and physical healing (only if you want, of course, you don’t have to feel ready!) We close with a sound healing using crystal singing bowls and elemental chimes for you and bub.

I feel immense gratitude to be returning my magic to my wonderul clients. I feel more potent and intentional than ever. Thank you for trusting and supporting my work,

Warm Wishes

Shann
