Hey beautiful, I’m Maddison.
I am a coach, yoga & meditation teacher, podcast host, speaker, mindful lover, slow-living & nature obsessed human. I find joy in helping people connect to themselves and something bigger than themselves everyday. To help them drop the stresses and expectations of daily life to regulate their nervous system and have them feeling a sense of calm. To clear the noise and clutter within their mind, to live and be a truly well rested human.
Trying to navigate modern life – well it’s stressful, and it’s my intention to help you stay grounded and calm. To have a calm and steady nervous system able to respond to the world around you. I love sharing my favourite rituals, practices and teachings and things I have learnt or am learning along the way to help you too feel grounded and calm.
You Deserve to Rest. To Truly Rest.
Truly you do. You deserve to feel rested. You deserve to slow down and enjoy your life, to bathe in the moments that bring you joy and always come back to living from your heart. The people around you want you functioning at your best, feeling rested and nourished, not frazzled and on edge. It matters. It really matters.
It’s time to live a well rested life.
A collection of moments, that have shaped who I am, why I do what I do, and what I am passionate about.
I wouldn't have called myself a stressful or anxious child.
However looking back I can see that I was a ball of stress and anxiety, not knowing how to communicate my feelings. Only from finding modalities that support my wellbeing can I look back with such compassion for who I was.
This is why I am so passionate about speaking at schools, teaching them meditation and mindfulness in a way that is relatable.
When my stress and anxiety became so bad at University my mother declared I was going to do some yoga with her.
I thought, how boring, it’s definitely not going to be hard enough for me! Yet, each week, I found myself in a small room and I would breath, disconnect from the extreme business of my mind and find myself floating home feeling the.most.relaxed.ever! I was hooked.
Now I teach yoga. I love getting to connect with something bigger than myself, connect to my students, and support them in re-connecting to themselves and their body.
Enter Vedic Meditation and my life changed, not overnight, but slowly and gently.
I started getting into meditation when I was in my early 20’s, I put my timer on for 5 minutes, and quickly gave up because it was too hard. Fast forward numerous years, listening to guided meditations on repeat that I ended up basically memorising them, I found myself craving something more. Enter Vedic Meditation, I practiced with Laura Poole, in 2014 and have never looked back. This meditation practice has shifted and changed over the years, as I’ve been guided by my own needs and intuition, but meditating has remained a constant.
I have the most delicious, serendipitous stories post meditation, like truly magical. This is what happens when you disconnect from the chatter within your mind and connect to thread of webs that are bigger than us.
A year of lockdown’s and a validating diagnosis of endometriosis which became a blessing.
Finally making sense of the ripping pains, the chronic right hip pain, the extreme fatigue. Looking at other people wondering how they were able to do normal life, when I was struggling. A diagnosis of, and removal through excision surgery, to support my wellbeing of life. It took a long time, but it changed me, all for the better.
To understanding pain psychology, to finding a sense of safety within my body. Living from my womb, connecting to my own play and pleasure for me. To living a life that feels good, not just looks good. To taking care of myself. To creating, instead of tearing myself down. To finding flow within my life and in turn, a sense of ease.
