Whether you already know me or if you’ve just found your way here — welcome.

I’m Josh, born and based in beautiful Torquay, a place I still love calling home.

Like many of us, my journey has been filled with incredible highs, extreme lows, and everything in between.

I got to a point years ago where masking no longer saved me from everything I was running from.

Years of pushing down trauma in unhealthy ways resurfaced and I found myself in a really dark place, feeding into a negative life style that was only enhancing this energy.

I felt mentally and physically broken to the core.

I was so desperate for change.

Yoga, holistic healing, and my community saved me from a place I never imagined escaping.

They helped me reconnect with myself and begin to truly heal. This ongoing journey of self-discovery continues to shape me — I’m always learning, softening, strengthening, and growing.

From that transformation, Svadhyaya was born — a Sanskrit word meaning “self-study.” It’s a commitment to inner learning through sacred wisdom and honest self reflection.

I now share this passion through soulful yoga sessions, holistic therapies, 1:1 offerings, breathwork, and day retreats — all held within Palm Hair, Beauty & Spa on Torquay Harbour.

Together, we create a safe space for soulful stillness, medicinal movement, and self-discovery rooted in self love.

A space to reconnect, release, and come home to our true selves.

With love,

Josh
