Narelle is the co-founder of the Revillaging Project and Sage Mamma, both of which place the mother’s wellness central to the wellbeing of our children and our families, creating a ripple effect of healing into the heart of our community.
Narelle is the mother of three children and an Innate certified postpartum care practitioner. She is a passionate post-partum doula who has centered her life around supporting mothers through all aspects of postpartum, matressence and the spirituality of motherhood through the lens of Ayurveda and other traditional wisdom.
Narelle’s Yoga journey began in India in 2002, where she was steeped in the art and science of Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda. She spent the following years living in New York City, studying extensively under the tutelage of Kelly Morris and various other highly esteemed yoga and meditation teachers, grounding her deeply onto her spiritual path and as a teacher of classical Vinyasa yoga- defined as movement with breath.
In 2008 she met her husband in Los Angeles and began her family, prompting her to drop deeply into her education around the childbearing years. Narelle weaves her Yogic and Ayurvedic knowledge together with traditional, indigenous wisdom surrounding the child bearing continuum to support women through all aspects of postpartum, matressence and the spirituality of motherhood in a practical and approachable way.
Narelle was born in Melbourne but has lived most of her adult life abroad, returning back to the Mornington Peninsula with her family in 2021.
Narelle’s core belief through her own lived experience is that a mother will thrive when held within a community of reciprocal support. When women gather, practice, share and grow together, we have the potential to heal the planet. When a mother’s well-being is prioritized, children (and families) are healthy and well, feeding back into healthy communities and thus impacting real change.
