LISTEN TO WELCOME MESSAGE—>

Hello and welcome. I’m so glad to have you here. I’m Gursharn, I’m a Yoga Nidra Facilitator, a Matrescence Guide and a Motherhood Studies practitioner. You’re probably here because you’re on a journey into motherhood.

I’ve stood in your shoes and journeyed there too.  I also have experienced a challenging fertility journey, in country and culture that was foreign to me. I’ve felt the pain, the sadness, the frustration, the fear, the shame and the extreme loneliness that comes with it all, especially when you’re so far from your loved ones.

I see you.

I was supported by an incredible fertility doctor and today I’m a mother to my 4 year old son. I was a ‘perfect’ patient. I followed all the advice, attended all my appointments and bone-deep exhausted, I trekked from one appointment to the next all over town on auto pilot, the endless long hours of waiting to be seen, scanning the eyes of the other women and practitioners you meet along your journey, hoping for someone to just stop and notice how huge what you’re going through really is. But I kept on going. I just wanted one thing, to fall pregnant with my baby.

The process was long and eventually I unravelled; I felt bewildered and lonelier than I’d ever had and then finally when my son arrived I experienced postpartum depression- it was hard.

Looking back, I didn’t prioritise my mental and emotional health. I didn’t take the time to understand how every aspect of my life would change as I traversed into motherhood from the moment I’d decided I wanted to have a child. I didn’t think about my emotional needs at all, let alone that the journey that I was taking was also deeply spiritual and scared- an initiation and a rite of passage of some sorts. The process left me feeling disconnected form my heart, body and my womb. I had forgotten who I was in the vulnerable body I was living in.

I wish I’d taken better care of myself, sought women who I could share my journey and experience with and who would understand what I was living.

My experience shaped and formed so many stories, expectations and beliefs I held about myself and my body and that added pressure to be a ‘perfect’ mother to my child. Unpacking these stories and beliefs created so much space for me to show up as me for myself and my child- vulnerable, resilient ‘imperfect’.

This is where my healing has brought me today. Supporting women, wherever they are on or in their journey to motherhood, to rest and make space for themselves to be mothered, to have their unique journey honoured and witnessed with love and compassion.

I would love for you to experience this deep rest and to be mothered as you move forward in your journey. You can get in touch with me using the contact form below. In the meantime enjoy this free Nidra to get you resting.

Journey well sister.

Rest well.
