So, what actually happens at Off The Floor?

Honestly? We get together.

We have something to eat, grab a drink, have a laugh and get to know other people from our local hairdressing community.

There won’t be a formal presentation.

There won’t be product education.

There won’t be a business pitch or someone waiting to sell you something.

And you don’t need to arrive with a polished elevator speech - because, dear God, nobody needs that on a Monday night. 😂

This first gathering is about connection.

It’s about meeting the hairdressers working in commercial salons, home salons, mobile businesses and freelance roles throughout our region.

It’s about creating the kinds of conversations that don’t always happen when we’re busy working behind the chair.

You can come alone.

You don’t need to know anyone.

You don’t need to be a salon owner or have years of experience.

Apprentices, employees, freelancers, mobile hairdressers, home salon owners and salon owners are all welcome.

Come exactly as you are.

You’ve already got something in common with everyone in the room: you’re part of this industry, and you belong.

I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for more than 33 years.

I’ve worked behind the chair, owned salons, educated hairdressers, worked backstage and on stage, styled more brides than I could possibly count and experienced this industry from many different angles.

And I still bloody love it.

I love the creativity, the transformation, the conversations and the incredible people who make up our industry.

But I also know how much hairdressers give.

We spend our days helping other people feel seen, heard, cared for and confident.

We listen. We reassure. We problem-solve. We create. We hold space.

And then we go home carrying the physical, mental and emotional weight of it all - often without anyone asking how *we’re* doing.

That’s why I’m creating 𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫.

A place for hairdressers to step out from behind the chair and connect with people who genuinely understand the work, the pressure, the joy and the reality of our industry.

Not an education night.

Not a sales pitch.

Not awkward networking or people trying to impress each other.

Just good people, honest conversation and genuine connection.

Because the people who spend their lives caring for others deserve somewhere they feel seen and supported too.

It’s time to get "Off The Floor" for a fun night out ✂️

Hairdressing can be an incredibly social job, but it can also feel surprisingly isolating - especially when you work alone, run your own salon or spend your days focused entirely on your clients.

"Off The Floor" is a new local gathering created for hairdressers to connect, share a few laughs and spend time with people who understand the industry.

This isn’t an education event or a sales event. There’s no agenda and no expectation - it’s simply an opportunity to get out from behind the chair and connect with your local hair community.

📅 Monday 21 September
⏰ 6.30pm
📍 The Family Hotel, Maitland
🎟️ Free registration

All hairdressers are welcome - salon owners, employees, freelancers, mobile hairdressers, home salon operators and apprentices.

Please share this with your hairdresser friends and colleagues. Let’s bring our local industry together. 🤍

You spend your days caring for people.

You listen to their stories.
You hold space for their emotions.
You work closely with their bodies, their energy and their nervous systems—often without even realising how much you’re taking in.

And sometimes, you carry it all home with you.

Sacred Energetics is a Reiki Level One training created for heart-centred professionals and practitioners who spend their days working closely with, caring for and supporting others.

It isn’t about adding another service to your menu or turning every appointment into a healing session.

It’s about learning how to care for yourself while you care for others.

Together, we explore:

✨ How energy shows up in everyday client interactions
✨ Why certain people or appointments can leave you feeling depleted
✨ The connection between energy, emotions and the nervous system
✨ How to ground, clear and protect your energy
✨ Healthy energetic boundaries and practitioner presence
✨ How to work through your energy, rather than giving from it
✨ Reiki for your own healing, regulation and self-care
✨ How to gently and ethically share Reiki with others

You’ll receive your Reiki Level One placement and learn how to connect with Reiki - but you’ll also learn how to bring that connection into the reality of the work you already do.

Because the answer isn’t to stop caring.

It’s to learn how to remain present, compassionate and connected without absorbing, carrying or becoming responsible for everything your clients bring into the room.

Sacred Energetics is gentle, practical, intuitive and deeply grounded.

You don’t need any previous experience with Reiki or energy work.

You simply need to be someone who cares deeply - and is ready to include yourself in that care

I think one of the biggest myths around self-care is that it’s selfish or indulgent.

Real self-care actually changes the way we move through life.

When women start understanding themselves better, they:
• communicate differently
• rest differently
• choose differently
• relate differently
• care for themselves differently

And often their whole life starts shifting quietly underneath that.

That’s why these retreats matter to me.
They’re not about escape.
They’re about reconnection.

I think one of the things we’ve forgotten as women is what it feels like to be cared for.

Not sold to. Not fixed. Not expected to perform.
Just… held.

That’s honestly the energy behind the Sacred Self Care Retreat.
A day where you don’t have to have it together.
A day where nobody needs anything from you.
A day where your nervous system can stop scanning for the next thing.

There’s something really healing about sitting in a room with other women who are also tired, healing, growing, searching, softening.

No masks. No pressure.

Just honesty, breath, reflection, healing and support.

And weirdly… that simplicity can become incredibly powerful.

Maybe you don't need another strategy.

Maybe you don't need another book.

Maybe you don't even need to "try harder."

Maybe you're simply tired.

Tired of carrying everyone else.
Tired of being the strong one.
Tired of pushing through.
Tired of forgetting yourself.

I've realised something over the last few weeks.

Life doesn't always ask us to become someone new.
Sometimes it simply asks us to return to ourselves.

That's what the Sacred Self Care Retreat is about.
Not escaping your life.

Returning to it with a steadier heart.
A quieter mind.
A gentler relationship with yourself.

If your nervous system has been whispering, "I can't keep doing life like this..."
Maybe this is your invitation.

✨ Sacred Self Care Retreat
Sunday 19th July - 10am to 3pm
A gentle day to reconnect with yourself through reflection, practical self-care, nervous system support, guided experiences and genuine connection.

Because the woman you keep looking for...

She's already within you.

❤️ Rachel

For the third time in my career, I've come to another threshold and my body is asking me to make changes.

Not because I don't love what I do.
Not because I've fallen out of love with my industry.

But because life has seasons.
And our bodies have wisdom.

Today it's -
Bursitis - causing pain and weakness in my arms and hands.
Low iron levels - bone deep exhaustion and brain fog.

And....
A body that no longer bounces back the way it did when I was 25.
A body that is asking me to work with it rather than push through it.

As I reflect on over 33 years in the beauty industry, I can see the toll that years of physical work, long hours and living close to burnout have taken.

But I can also see how much I've learned.

I've learned that caring for others doesn't have to come at the cost of caring for yourself.
I've learned that support is not weakness.
I've learned that boundaries are an act of love.
I've learned that I can be compassionate without carrying responsibility for everyone else's happiness.
I've learned that I can hold space without holding burdens.

For many years I carried emotional loads for my family, my business and my clients.
As a single mum for 13 years, I became very good at carrying things.
Perhaps too good.

But these days, things look different.
I still love taking care of people.
I still love helping people look and feel good.
I still love listening.
I still love supporting.

But I no longer believe that helping others requires me to abandon myself.
I no longer believe that caring means carrying.
I no longer people-please.
I no longer take responsibility for energy, emotions or burdens that aren't mine.

What I've discovered is that I can love deeply, give generously and care wholeheartedly without sacrificing myself in the process.

And honestly?

That's one of the greatest lessons my career has taught me.

It's also one of the reasons Sacred Energetics exists.
Not because I have all the answers.
But because I know what it feels like to lose yourself in caring for everyone else.

And I know how important it is to find your way home again.

In late 2014, I had a heartbreaking realisation.

I was giving so much energy to my business and clients that I had nothing left for my children when I got home.

One afternoon, after a long day, my boys were excitedly telling me about theirs when I snapped:
"Not now. I've been talking and listening all day. I've got nothing left."
The moment I said it, I knew something had to change.

It wasn't that I didn't want to hear them.

I'd simply given every piece of myself away before I got home.

Not long after, I sold my salon, slowed down, and eventually created a different way of working.
Things improved, but something was still missing.

Although I'd spent years exploring personal development and energy work, I realised I wasn't using any of those tools during my workday.

That's when I was drawn to do Reiki training.

What surprised me most wasn't what I learned about helping others.
It was what I learned about caring for myself.
I learned how to leave work at work.
How to support people without carrying their emotional weight.
How to give without ending every day exhausted and depleted.

For the first time in a long time, I felt present - not just for my clients, but for my family too.

Over the years, I've realised that many caring professionals aren't just tired because they're busy.
They're tired because they're carrying things they were never meant to carry alone.

And that's one of the reasons Sacred Energetics exists.
Not to teach you how to give more.
But to help you give without losing yourself in the process.
