Our Story
Our Journey Has Been Anything But Ordinary
The dream that is Reset Therapeutic Yoga began far from the serene quiet of a yoga studio. From the rugged landscapes of the outback to high-pressure, high-risk custodial spaces, the mission has always been simple: to help.
Our foundation was built on the understanding that in moments of extreme stress, the fight-or-flight response doesn’t always have an off-switch. In fact, in life, we are seeing all too often that an overactive fight-or-flight is becoming the new baseline. At Reset, we recognise that whilst mindful control is a powerful goal, there are times when the nervous system requires more, it requires a physiological override.
The Physiological Override serves as a cornerstone to Reset’s primary function and was forged in the most challenging and confronting environments. We witnessed first-hand the transformative power of self-regulation when a person with a significant history of violence used these tools to recognise a rising rage and choose a different path. That single moment of self-regulation meant the difference between a broken system and a father being able to see his children. It was the difference between recidivism and rehabilitation. This is the level of real-world impact that drives our services and every program we create.
Today, as our daily lives move faster and we are asked to do more, we are collectively losing the skill of stopping, being still, and letting go. Reset Therapeutic Yoga exists to bridge that gap.
We don’t just teach poses; we teach the science of stillness. We empower our community, from corporate teams to private clinical clients with the art of the reset. Providing evidence-based tools to regulate the nervous system and reclaim mental and physical wellbeing.
Reset Therapeutic Yoga wants to equip you with the portable Lifeskills you need to reclaim your state of peace.
How We Work: The Path to Regulation
The Clinical AssessmentEvery journey begins with a deep dive. Whether you are a private client or part of a corporate program, we go beyond listening to assess the hidden contributors to your current condition or circumstance.
Biomechanical Habits: Identifying how your daily posture and movement patterns contribute to your physical armour.
Breathing Retraining: We examine your breathing habits. We look for red-flags like mouth-breathing or upper-chest tension that keep your fight-or-flight response switched on.
The Physiological OverrideWhen mindful self-control isn’t enough, we apply the override. This is the expert application of yoga as a therapeutic modality to physically shift your state.
Nervous System Regulation: Using specific sequences of breath and movement to stimulate the vagus nerve and signal safety to the brain.
Self-Regulation Tools: We teach you to identify the early signs of stress; rising heat of rage, shallow breath of anxiety, heavy fog of burnout, and give you the exact tool needed to pivot in that moment.
Sustainable IntegrationThe goal of Reset is for you to eventually not need us. We focus on education and empowerment so that the skills learned on the mat translate to your front-line.
Collaborative Care: We work alongside your existing medical and allied health professionals so your yoga therapy supports your total treatment plan.
Community Support: Through our many delivery modalities, we provide a sacred container where you can practice stillness without judgment or competition.
Meet Amber, the Founder
In the high-stakes environments of my past, I learned that while we can not always control the chaos around us, we can master the physiology within us. Reset Therapeutic Yoga was born from the belief that everyone deserves a physiological override; a chance to move past survival mode and return to a state of stillness. My goal is to give you the expert tools to navigate your own Reset, one breath and one movement at a time.
I believe that life should make sense. The reasons why we are who we are and live the way we live are the result of a complex tapestry of hidden signs and personal choices. Through careful observation and listening beyond words, I therapeutically apply the wisdom and practices of yoga to support improvements in mental and physical wellbeing.
An academic and front-line specialist, I apply my unique set of career-gifted skills paired with my passion for yoga to provide science backed yoga therapy that is inclusive and accessible.
Trained in the Hatha-Vinyasa tradition, I extend my unique expertise beyond the body, breath and poses with clinical care and training in Restorative Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Fertility Yoga and Yoga Therapy to offer you the opportunity to rewire, rewrite, and reset your natural state. I am a registered Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist with Yoga Australia and have been the heart of Reset Therapeutic Yoga since 2020.
Whether you are referred by a doctor, seeking resilience for your corporate team, or joining a community clinic, I am dedicated to making mental and physical wellbeing accessible to everyone. Because stillness should not be a luxury, it should be a skill everyone possesses.
Greater Geelong is now where I call home and where I get to explore my passion in environmentalism and sustainability. I love to spend my time observing wildlife and the natural order of things. When not on the mat, I can be found on nature walks, bird watching and waterfall adventures with my wonderful family. If you see a strange pair examining clover patches in the grass, that is usually me and my daughter, looking for four leaf clovers.
