I create powerful spaces where music & ceremony help women reconnect to their magic 🪄

I’m Cass. I run cacao ceremonies and retreats for women in Byron Bay.

I am making an extra effort to really show up here through it all.

I haven’t had the easiest transitions into motherhood. That is my journey. No judgement, no regret. It has made me stronger. More resilient. More compassionate to anyone who’s felt those hard times too.

I know how much my work is needed in the world. I created it for me. The time and space to come back to the heart.

Our heart holds the purpose to life. And that purpose is love. To be in love. To heal through love. To love and to receive love.

It’s so simple. I was shown this clearly on a powerful medicine journey a few years back. We complicate everything with our minds. Our conditioning. Our judgements. But when we strip it all back, we get it. We are here to share our true essence. To align our personality with our soul. To be the embodiment of our truth. Our heart.

If we’re not conscious through big transitions, we lose parts of ourselves. Our soul fragments get the f**k out of here. This is why we need devotional time and space, to call ourselves back into wholeness.

This is why I created my retreat, Reclaim Your Magic, in the Byron Bay hinterland. A group of facilitators who’ve done this work for years. Women who are in their hearts, who follow their dreams, who share their gifts, who are here to help you reclaim your magic again.

So I invite you to join me.
6-9th August 2027.
Byron Bay.

3 nights just for you.

Comment MAGIC and I’ll share more details.

I wrote these love notes 5 years ago to myself back in my first postpartum.

I thought they may help some Mumma’s out there navigating their new role. They continue to help me…

As I sit here with a sick baby attached to me.
Plans cancelled, again.
Partner away for work, again.
Hospital visit, again.
Surrendered, again.

And yes I’m ok…just want to keep it real. 🙂

One day you feel like you’re killing it, the next you’re thinking what the f**k am I doing? This is the ride of Motherhood. Enjoy the highs and recruit help for the lows.

A love note I wrote to myself in the early days of motherhood with my first born.

And as I fought another round of mastitis this weekend, these words came flooding in…

I feel so broken right now.

The mental load. The endless washing. The mess. Regulating a little one’s emotions while grasping for air yourself. The mundane, the cooking, the organising. The time it takes just to get out the door.

Sick kids who need your love while you’re drowning. Blocked ducts, blood tests, health anxiety. And somewhere in there, I must remember to nourish me too. Sunlight. Movement. Protein. How do I fit it all in?

The whining. The touched-out feeling. I just want to scream.

Loving partners can only do so much.

Finding support, then praying my child will leave my side. The tears. The holding. The mother needs holding too, I know this more than most.

Breastfeeding, to give your baby the best start, while sacrificing your own health.

Crashing hormones. Sleepless nights. An unrecognisable body. And then the comparison on this platform, the mums who claim to have it all worked out. This has to end. We need truth. We need women supporting women, not performing for each other.

I feel a responsibility to share the truth, not hide the hard times, because motherhood is full of them. We signed up for this the moment we said yes to these beautiful souls.

I have friends I can call on but do you know how hard it is to find a time that works with everyone’s schedules?

It’s exhausting. It’s isolating. It’s why so many of us are drowning quietly behind a smile, because we’ve agreed motherhood should look effortless… which I am also guilty of.

It’s time we create a world we are proud of where mothers are honoured, loved and worshipped because we are the bringers of life. Without us, the world ends.

*** I am totally fine now… just took another twisty turn on the roller coaster 🎢

Are you ready to reclaim your magic? To upgrade your life?

I am so excited to share that Reclaim Your Magic is back in 2027.

We will be staying on the beautiful grounds of BlueGreen Sanctuary and nourished by Retreat Catering by Tash & Tom in Byron Bay.

Three nights, held in the hands of women who have devoted their lives to holding space for others.

Retreats work because they take you out of autopilot. Away from the patterns, the roles, the noise. Your body gets to feel, in real time, that a different way of living is actually available to you. You come home different. New sense of who you are. New people in your corner. New beliefs about what’s possible for you. A new baseline for how you get to live. It’s the quickest path I know to genuinely shift your life.

I am beyond grateful for the facilitators who have said yes again to this experience and I’ve added one more amazing soul to the circle.

Every past version of me has shaped the woman I am today, and for that I’m proud. I’m nowhere near perfect. Still very much growing, still evolving.

If my vibe speaks to you, come along on this crazy, fun, chaotic and everything in between journey to reclaim your magic.

Lots of love,
Cass 🤎

Our first overseas holiday as a family of 4 😮‍💨🏔️

Queenstown, we came, we skied (for the first time ever), we survived.

Our first born turned 5 and we had a very special guest, Nanna Dianne Russ.

Being surrounded by the snow capped mountains was absolutely magical and hearing baby B say Mumma on my Mum’s birthday was 🤌🥹🪄

Great memories made. So many firsts. Lots of learnings for next time too, already taking notes for next year.

Came home and went straight into a big integration… we went down with a virus 😮‍💨 Definitely not a relaxing trip with 2 kiddies in tow 😂 But worth it.

It’s time to dance again. 💃
I’ve been in the trenches of motherhood.
Deep in it. Devoted to my boys.
And now I feel like I am ready for a dose of high vibe fun with my beautiful community.
So I’m calling it back.
One afternoon only.

HEART BEAT 🔥

A 2 hour ceremonial experience.
Cacao to open the heart. Music, breath and the unseen forces to clear the stagnant energy. Intentional space to seed your dreams. And then we dance into a new reality.
This one’s for the women who give and give and give.
This one’s for anyone who’s ready to feel alive again.

Let’s dance!

‘I’m a breastfeeding Mum in an ozempic world.’

Saw this on a reel recently and it resonated so deeply.

I’ve been moving through some massive body image stuff this postpartum. Five months since I birthed my second boy, and I’m still holding onto a lot more weight than I’m used to. Uncomfortable. Not quite myself. And carrying a whole lot of anger at the bounce back narrative, or maybe that’s just the pressure in my own head.

I have to remind myself: my body has grown and birthed two healthy boys in my late thirties and early forties. It is actually phenomenal.

I think back to my Bondi days..tiny, tanned, fit, fake bo***es, telling mums how to move their bodies. Not sure if that was offensive or inspiring. 😂 But honestly? I was so disconnected from myself. Always chasing smaller, tighter, better. Wild to see it clearly now.

And here I am. A completely different body. So much softer and slower. Clothes that don’t quite fit yet but holding so much more depth, wisdom and life.

Maybe my body was never meant to be hard and sculpted the way I was taught?

Maybe it was always just meant to be a home for my boys?

I wrote this love note to myself after Asher was born:

‘What do I want my boys to remember? My presence, my energy, my love? Or how quickly I fit back into my old jeans?’

Wise words, Cass. 😂 Thank you for the reminder.

This lifetime is clearly one where I’m here to truly nail self-love. All parts of me. Through all phases and cycles. Not easy but obviously I’m here for the challenge.

I’ve taken some time off this platform lately and f@&k, it’s felt good. The head noise it creates isn’t healthy, so I’m working out how to have a better relationship with it. Right now I’m conserving my energy for me, my family, my close friends and my retreat guests. I’ll only show up here when I have a genuine overflow to give. 🤍

4:30am wake up
baby on my chest

nothing to wear as I am still landing in my new body
Jordan’s clothes it is

Dawn service
rain pouring, no umbrella — s**t!

tears into my morning cacao
hearing my mum’s last words echo through me
I’m so proud of you 🥹
the words she continues to share

crying boys right before a call
with my energy medicine teacher
held, seen, acknowledged
(and then… boys crash the session)

tired eyes
another cacao?
yes, another cacao

projectile vomit onto my new t-shirt… I’ve got this.

ok… definitely another cacao

music on, carrier on, baby strapped on for nap number 3

4-year-old fury
because baby B gets a sacred smoke clearing first

messy house
bed still unmade

friends on their way
somehow pulling it together… slowly

sip
breathe
remember the game I signed up for

back to settling baby
again

life is life-ing ✨
