This is a transformation space through nervous system support and training.

Welcome to The Soul-Full Mind 

Yin Yoga, Meditation, Counselling & Meditation Teacher Training in Portarlington, Victoria

We help overwhelmed women and men regulate their nervous system through Yin Yoga, Meditation, Counselling, and trauma-informed holistic practices. 

Serving Portarlington, Geelong & the Bellarine Peninsula.

We are a sanctuary for nervous system.

Our Space

At The Soul-Full Mind, everything we offer is guided by one intention—to support, soothe, and restore your nervous system. Through Yin Yoga, Meditation, Meditation Teacher Training, Holistic Counselling, and Creative Arts Therapies, we create spaces where you can slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. This is not about pushing, striving, or performing.

This is about regulating, restoring, and returning home to your body and heart. Our gentle, trauma-informed approach weaves together breath, stillness, mindful movement, and creative expression—supporting you in releasing tension, building emotional resilience, and finding a sense of calm in a busy world. 

For some, this is where the journey begins to deepen—into learning, into growth, and into becoming a teacher. Our training is not just about gaining skills; it is about personal transformation. As you move through the process, you begin to embody the work in a real and grounded way, deepening your connection to yourself while learning how to guide and support others. This is where your voice emerges, your presence strengthens, and your unique way of holding space begins to take shape. Over time, you don’t just learn how to teach—you become the calm, steady, and authentic teacher you once needed yourself, leading with confidence, care, and integrity.

Whether you are here to rest, heal, learn, or grow, you are held in a space that is
  • Safe
  • Nurturing
  • Inclusive
  • Deeply supportive
This is your place to exhale.

Julie-Anne's Why 

It all began with a quiet vision, one that came to me 10 years ago, in a moment of stillness while I was recovering from heart surgery. In that space, I dreamt of something more—a sanctuary where people could gently slow down, reconnect, and truly come home to themselves—a place where the heart, body, and mind are held and nurtured in harmony.
