My Calm Place

About My Calm Place

Welcome

My name is Pati, and I'm based in Perth. Through mindfulness practices, breathwork, simple meditation and gentle yoga, I've developed a range of self care routines that support overall well being and gently ease the pressures of everyday life.

Having spent years in fast paced work environments and navigating life as a parent, I understand how easily stress and overwhelm can build. These practices have helped me stay centred and steady through my own day to day challenges, and I've drawn deeply on that experience while creating my sessions.

My approach is calm, accessible and nurturing — designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and find moments of ease in the midst of a busy life.

My professional background:

  • Certificate in Guiding and Teaching Meditation and Mindfulness, Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness (ACMM)
  • Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program developed by Prof Jon Kabat-Zinn, a pioneer of the mindfulness movement. MBSR uses a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, yoga and exploration of patterns of behaviour, thinking, feeling and action.
  • Member of Meditation Association of Australia.
  • Accredited Mental Health First Aider — Mental Health First Aid® Australia
  • Qualified yoga teacher and a member of Yoga Australia.

I have a MA in Japanese Studies and have spent many years in Asia learning about different philosophies and cultures. I felt instantly drawn to how these traditions emphasise the importance of creating peace internally, within the mind and body.

This essentially drove me to what I do now.
