About
My involvement in meditation dates back 20 years. I began this path of self-discovery during my teenage years attending my first Yoga class and I recall feeling deeply connected with something well beyond the physical practice. I had touched on something I knew was going to be a life changer and sought out meditation groups which back then were few and far between.
I was raised in Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and pursued working life in the corporate / design world, my strength firmly founded in building lasting client relationships. Throughout those years I was always seeking more purpose and wanting to help others along the way. Naturally, part of the journey was working on connecting to ‘self’ and dealing with my own stuff! As my personal yoga and meditation practice evolved through various techniques, teachers and yoga schools I pursued Yoga study with Master Teacher Nicky Knoff in Cairns, Australia in 2008. One little gem that Nicky shared was ‘Always maintain a Beginners Mind in life’.
In 2016 I was introduced to Vedic Meditation, a beautiful ancient technique which was a game changer. I had finally found a meditation technique that not only ‘clicked’ and was effortless, yet offered the spiritual depth and wisdom for healing and ongoing support. I am now a proud Teacher and can share with you this incredible tool to support you through life’s every day challenges with grace.
Vedic Meditation
Firstly, this technique does not require you to ‘switch off’ or ‘stop the internal chatter’. It is easy, effortless and a joy to practice! Vedic Meditation is for everyone wanting to improve the quality of their lives and I believe is the most powerful gift you can give yourself. Secondly, this is not a religious practice in any way, it is simply an eye’s closed mental technique and invaluable life tool.
VM works to restore your nervous system and help manage stress and anxiety. Meditation is proven to be one of the most effective antidotes to stress. Stress accumulation happens as a result of so many factors and our ‘Fight or Flight’ response is continually triggered in this demanding modern world. Here you will learn a technique to not only clear that residual stress we become accustomed to living with, yet also manage our conditioning / reactive patterns to everyday challenges with greater ease.
It will promote a deep state of rest allowing the mind to function with more clarity. Your state of awareness becomes heightened as you feel an expansion of happiness that will translate in your waking state, or your day to day living. As a result of these internal shifts, your perspective changes, you become less reactive & more resilient, and your relationships and overall health & well-being improve.
This ancient and profound technique is derived from a tradition that has been passed down by a linage of master teachers dating back 5000 years. Originated in India, this practice arrived in the West during the 50’s by a well-known great master named Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, an enlightened Sage and Scientist with a Masters Degree in Physics.
Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.

Carly introduced me to Vedic Meditation 2 years ago. I have found it incredibly beneficial to reducing stress and gaining clarity in life. Recently I have also started participating in her Rounding sessions. The combination of body movements, breath awareness and meditation have had a profound effect on me. I feel completely relaxed with amazing inner peace afterwards. We all owe it to ourselves to treat our mind and body to these feelings.”

My anxiety began to get the better of me and I knew something had to give….
I decided to invest in my mental health …..With Carly’s knowledge and beautifully comforting energy she helped me craft a meditation practice I can commit to.
I am so grateful for the teachings, the practice and for your support Carly…. I feel the benefits of the practice daily, I am calmer, more deliberate and have a much deeper sense of awareness of myself, everything and everyone around me
….friends have even been commenting on the positive change! Can’t thank you enough!”~Suzanne Lambert

I just loved the experience of Rounding. It was warm, cosy and a great energy. I could have gone on and on and on. It took me back to the meditation retreat experience.
When I drove by home, I felt very energised and very calm within with a sense of clarity.
A few days later I still feel this calm within, I feel very present. I am looking forward
for the next one! Thank you Carly for holding that space for us. Lots of love”~Cecile Burton
