About Your Facilitator
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 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 passionate 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 by offering in-home postpartum care, yoga circles, and postpartum education series.
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 various highly esteemed yoga and meditation teachers, grounding her deeply onto her spiritual path and as a teacher of classical Vinyasa yoga.
Narelle weaves her Yogic and Ayurvedic knowledge together with traditional, indigenous wisdom surrounding the child bearing continuum to support women in a practical and approachable way through their postpartum time and into early childhood.
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.
With deep respect and gratitude, Narelle wishes to acknowledge her teachers and mentors , who have illuminated the path for her- Rachelle Garcia-Selliger, Amy Taylor Kabbaz, Julia Jones, Summer Quashie and Jane Hardwick Collings.
