My courses intend to give comfort, clarity and insight into the mysterious and sometimes confusing inner workings of your heart and mind. I hope they bolster you with courage and encourage you to lean fearlessly and tenderly into your inner world.

I will be offering a number of courses this year. The first being A compassionate Path to Healing. Offering science backed tools and strategies integrated with eastern and western psychology and philosophy, to help sooth and calm the nervous system to recalibrate it to sense of safety and calm.

Does Stress, Anxiety, or Overwhelm Hold You Back?

If you've ever felt gripped by anxiety—tight chest, racing thoughts, fear spirals—and no matter how much you try to calm yourself, nothing seems to work… you're not alone. 

                                   This workshop is for you.

Join me for a gentle, practical 1.5 hour session inspired by Eastern psychology and the groundbreaking work of Dr. Claire Weekes as we explore ways to sooth and calm the nervous system and overcome triggers and patterns of responding to the world and others.  

Cost: $20.00

In this workshop you’ll be introduced to Claire Weekes’s simple yet powerful 4-step method:

You’ll also learn:

  • Why anxiety is not a flaw in you

  • How to interrupt the cycle of panic, resistance, and avoidance

  • A calming guided meditation: Floating Through Anxiety

  • Real-time tools you can begin using immediately

  • How Claire Weekes’ method aligns with modern neuroscience, acceptance-based therapies and eastern psychology. 

This isn’t about positive thinking or controlling your mind—it’s about learning how to relate differently to your fear. Weekes called it “masterly inactivity”

Who is this for?
If you struggle with health anxiety, general anxiety, panic, or inner tension
If you feel tired of trying to “fix” yourself
If you long for a peaceful, evidence-based approach grounded in kindness

You’ll leave feeling lighter, more empowered, and equipped with a method you can return to again and again.

Meet Your Guide: Virginia Golding

With over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy and consulting, I’ve worked with adults and young people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic illness. My background spans the foster care, homelessness, early childhood education, and domestic violence sectors, corporate and organsiational psychology and with Australian Defence force and emergency services giving me a deep understanding of how stress, trauma and axiety impacts every aspect of life.

My journey also led me to undertake degrees in eastern and western philosophy and psychology, and studying Advaita Vedanta and Tibetan Buddhism in Melbourne and in India under the guidance of the late Traleg Rinpoche and my current teacher Yangten Rinpoche. My work integrates the wisdom of eastern and western traditions incorporating the latest research from experts like Pat Ogden, Peter Levine, Van der Kolk and Gabor Maté.

Through this unique blend of science and wisdom traditions, I hope to help people heal at the nervous system level, so they can experience more ease, joy, and resilience in their daily lives.

Because Anxiety Isn’t Your Natural State

This workshop is your first step toward lasting change. No fluff. No overly complicated techniques. Just real, practical exercises that empower you to shift from stress to safety—anytime, anywhere.
