Hi there! Welcome to Thiavana!

Hi, I’m Thia! Founder of Thiavana, seeker of balance, and believer in the power of healing. My journey here wasn’t perfect, but that’s exactly why it’s worth sharing.

From Rock Bottom to Real Peace
A few years ago, I hit what felt like rock bottom. I was overwhelmed, lost, and craving an escape. Then, one random day, I felt this inexplicable pull to go to India for yoga teacher training. Now, here’s the funny part, I had zero yoga experience. None. I didn’t even own a yoga mat!

But something inside me knew this was my shot at finding myself again. So, I took the leap. I booked that flight, flew to India alone, and stepped into a completely unfamiliar world. And let me tell you, India was nothing like I imagined. It was noisy, chaotic, and overwhelming. Yet, somehow, within all that chaos, I found peace. For the first time in forever, I felt whole again.

That experience sparked something deep inside me, a need to heal and a desire to share that healing with others. I kept asking myself:
How can I help someone else feel the peace I found in India?

Healing: The Beautiful Mess
Here’s the thing no one tells you, healing isn’t pretty. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and terrifying. It feels like opening an old, dusty box filled with things you’ve avoided for years. But hidden under all that dust is the treasure you’ve been looking for.

Through this journey, I’ve learned one life-changing truth: to heal, you first have to feel. It’s not easy, but it’s worth every tear, every doubt, and every uncomfortable moment. My mantra now is: I am my own source of happiness. It’s a daily reminder that true peace starts from within.

The Birth of Thiavana
Of course, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. After my yoga trip, reality hit hard. I couldn’t quite figure out my direction, and honestly, I was struggling financially and had started a business that was barely moving forward. Every day felt like waiting for something to change, but nothing seemed to work. It felt like I was pouring money into it without any return.

One day, I asked myself: What if I could spend my time on something more meaningful? Something that helps others rather than feeling like I’m just waiting for life to happen? Something rooted in healing, balance, and connection. That’s when Thiavana was born, a safe space for people to reconnect with themselves, find peace, and heal.

As an introvert, I’ve always valued deep, meaningful connections over surface-level interactions. I wanted Thiavana to reflect that this is the place where people can show up just as they are and feel completely supported.

The Inspiration Behind It All
When I lived in Melbourne, I trained at this incredible aerial studio. There was one instructor, let’s call her W. Who made every class feel like a safe haven. She didn’t just teach; she made the whole environment feel warm, supported and understood.

That’s the vibe I want Thiavana to have. A space where you’re not just another person in the crowd but someone who matters. Whether it’s through yoga, sound healing, or just holding space for you, Thiavana is about creating that connection and care.

Who I Am (When I’m Not on the Mat)
If you’re imagining me as the typical yogi sipping green juice and living in a zen bubble, let me surprise you. I’ve got a dark sense of humor that keeps people guessing. Life’s not always serene, and neither am I, but that’s what makes this journey so real. When things get overwhelming (and trust me, they do), I roll out my mat and remind myself to breathe. Even a 15 minutes yoga flow can be life-changing.

Thiavana is my way of sharing my imperfect, messy, beautiful journey and helping others find their own version of peace.

Join Me on This Journey
Whether you’re looking for balance, healing, or just a fresh perspective, Thiavana is here for you. I believe in the power of transformation because I’ve lived it. Now, I’m here to walk this path with you.

Let’s find your peace together. 🌸
