A discovery call will provide an opportunity to ask questions and gain an understanding about your current challenges, goals and pain points. This is a key opportunity for us to start building a relationship and understand how I may be able to assist you. You can also learn more about my expertise and knowledge, the success I have had in helping others with similar issues, and consider whether my offerings will be able to meet your needs. Ultimately, a discovery call helps to determine if there is a good fit and we can decide if we would like to take the next steps together. Read more

Esther teaches Satyananda yoga (classical yoga - therapeutic, breath-centred, meditative style) at Yoga in Hornsby in a private beautiful studio setting. Classes run with the school term (now until 17 December) and usually consist of 10 classes per term. I’d you are late to join just pay for the number of remaining weeks to hold your spot. A class typically has a 10 minute relaxation/meditative practice, followed by about 50 minutes of asanas (postures). You will be shown some breathing techniques (pranayama) which are also used throughout the practice, finishing with a deep meditative relaxation (yoga Nidra) with some deeper meditative practices such as trataka (candle gazing), mantra repetition, antar mouna (inner silence) and kaya stherium (stillness and steadiness), ajapajapa, etc being offered in the progressive beginner classes. Practices are modified for each individual so it is accessible for all including those who want a stronger practice, If there is space in the class, you may join as a casual which is $26 ($22 per class when pre-booked by the term/remainder of the term if space and joining late). Always check there is a spot directly with Esther before purchasing to avoid disappointment as they do tend to fill fast especially during covid when spots are even more limited. There is a waitlist system to get the best chance of securing a spot. Read more

I teach the expecting parent/s how to be more grounded, calm and prepared leading up to and during birth using the tools of mindfulness and hypnosis to help empower them in the birthing process. Many women have certain expectations (eg. drug free natural birth or baby arriving on due date etc) but we can't control life and what happens, only our response. It is about having tools to find calmness no matter what happens and making it a positive birth experience even if things don't go according to plan. I will teach you how to use certain tools that can help foster a positive birth experience. Read more

You will be guided through a meditative relaxation which will leave tensions behind you. You have the option to bring a friend or family member. This can make a lovely self-care gift / quality time, followed by lunch nearby or at the cafe across the road perhaps or a walk in Crosslands National Park on the Hawkesbury river at the end of the road!
