Women’s Cave | Experiential Mindfulness
I’m passionate about creating safe and welcoming environments where you can be authentically yourself, drop your mask, and settle into a more soothing and still presence within your body and heart.
I invite you to ‘come as you are’ and experience mindful, therapeutic and holistic practices you can practice at home that don’t require ‘learning’, using your brain or painful processing.
The groups are small, friendly and will provide you with an opportunity to practice, explore and observe your inner world and all of the dynamic parts and constellations within you while amongst beautiful women.
These classes will be slow, simple, understated and an invitation to slow. the. hell. down. Foreign, right?
Class Format
Each class will be different and intuitively guided, yet with the following components:
Self-connection exercises to practice authentic mindfulness.
Breath-focused meditation.
Brain/nervous system balance.
Teaching lesson on class theme.
Oracle cards or art therapy.
Invitation to slow, settle, and find stillness.
Poetry and ponderings.
Sharing your journey and connecting with new friends.
You know how to ‘do’ so much. Now let’s explore just ‘being’ and allowing stillness to be enough.
You know how to be busy, productive, loving, high-achieving and carry the mental load.
But being calm, settled and still often feels elusive. When you’re tired, burnout and have so much on your mind, focusing on healing or learning new strategies can be overwhelming. That’s why I’ve designed these simple classes for you to rest your mind, body and heart.
As a therapist, I know my clients and community and their needs, and I also know so many women feel isolated and crave genuine connection, so this is an opportunity to see other beautiful, high-functioning women in a more soulful, authentic and real way, who are all on their own journeys to feel peace.
These skills of stillness, slowing down and settling into the moment is a lost art, but together we will re-find peace within our bodies, minds and hearts, gently.
As they will be intuitively guided, I would like you to come with an open heart and let the sessions flow.
This is an opportunity to experience and practice presence, rather than using your mind and ‘learning.’ This is not a 'workshop' or 'class', but a gentle experience. There are no PowerPoint lessons!
Women's Cave is open to women and non-binary people 18 yrs+ who are interested in exploring themselves through mindfulness, self-inquiry, inner parts work, nervous system regulation and connecting with themselves and others.
Small groups will run in person in my practice in Fremantle and online via Zoom.
These low-cost experiences provide accessibility to therapeutic support from an experienced and registered therapist.
Women’s Cave is for you if:
You love connecting to other women in small group settings.
You want accountability to ensure you meditate.
You want to be guided through unique and custom meditations.
You feel safe to look within and explore your inner wrold.
You want to feel the power of the room when we’re all being mindful together
You’re struggling with your mood, anxiety, stress or overwhelm and want to feel better, fast.
You’re interested in strategies and tools that settle your mind, heart and nervous system.
You don’t want to ‘learn’, try hard or fight for healing anymore, you want it to unfold.
You’re excited about someone taking the lead and making decisions for you so you can just settle and experience the magic.
You have an open heart and want to try new things.
About Your Host Gabriella
Hi, I’m Gabriella. I’m a unique potion of academic, evidence-bathed terapy, alternative holistic health, somatic and body-focused healing modalities and a sprinkle of magic. I am a registered clinical counsellor who is obsessed with sharing mindfulness practices to show busy, successful, productive women how. to settle and soothe into an inner state of peace, no matter how familiar that feels.
I’ve been seeing clients, running workshops and hosting online courses for a decade, with a much-loved library of digital resources and my Mediation Mecca where I share my resources for free or low-cost entry points so that all my community can work with me and access my resources.
I blend all of my modalities and skills over my 15+ year career, including somatic enquiry, Internal Family Systems, PolyVagal Theory and mindful self-enquiry.
In these classes, I take the brain-work out so you can instead experience and be present, while enjoying creative art therapy, oracle cards, poetry and the pure joy of women’s groups.
Women’s Cave is an opportunity to be with, love and create space for all parts of you, without judgement.

“Hi Gabriella,
Oh my goodness- Sunday was just magical! Thank you so much for the invitation and for holding space for all of us so beautifully.

Jana’s journey with meditation
I had never practised meditation until COVID-19 hit and forced us into lockdown. With my job going down to part-time hours, I found myself with a lot of spare time and I decided meditation was something I wanted to start implementing in my life. I started by doing Gabriella's meditations and then I signed up to her classes.
Gabriella’s meditations are the only ones I listen to. Her voice is calming, she has a variety of different lengths pending time, different themes and topics, and she knows how to take you through a process and journey.
I have been struggling with anxiety for a few years now for a variety of factors, including health, financial, relationships and career. Her meditations have allowed me to stop and reflect on some events in my life and to think deeply as to how I can change my mindset from a negative perception to a productive and “what did I learn from this experience.”
I’d recommend this course to everyone and anyone. I didn’t think I had to forgive anyone for anything, but when you really stop and think, you realise that perhaps someone once did something to you, or you to them, and we owe it to ourselves to take time out to improve our mental health and wellbeing.
Gabriella's meditations are now part of my daily routine, and I will forever be grateful for the amazing work she does.
“Thank you Gabriella,
What a deliciously delightful session that was today. I am not good at slowing, and my continued coughing meant breathing deeply was like running a marathon, but I did sleep so soundly after the session - which is a first in many days! Relaxing!” ~Stacey
“Hi Gabi
Just wanted to say thanks for a lovely night last night at the women’s cave. I really enjoyed it! Exactly what I needed, a laugh and serenity x” ~Tessa
“Thanks, Gabriella!
I loved it! Felt deeply relaxed and comfortable, I liked each of the little steps you took us through. My biggest takeaway was the definition of mindfulness - and when you clicked "and now". It was wonderful!” ~Michelle
"The Women's Cave is the best!!! It gives me the opportunity to learn new calming ways to regulate myself + reconnection with other women. It's helping me to get out & feel safe in the world I've always wanted to paint but it's been something I always noted as "One Day I will learn". I really enjoyed the painting part of the session & it has inspired me to go out & buy paint & start painting Please keep these sessions going Gabriella- I love what you do" ~Harsha

Meditation Testimonial
“I loved this meditation class so much! From the moment it started I felt at peace. I don't usually meditate and it has always been one of those things I feel I should do or want to do and never 'find time' for it. This was magical for me as a beginner and took me straight into the right headspace which is something I frequently struggle with. It was a joy. Can not recommend it enough.”
