Mana temple is not like all other studios

Healing is Done Differently Here

  • Our practitioners & facilitators seek to provide support and care to individuals who may be struggling with trauma. We prioritize consent and boundaries, moving at a pace your body feels comfortable with. Mana Temple welcomes you into a safe and supportive environment that promotes healing and resilience.

  • Mana Temple has a specialized focus on healing your mind and/or body through supporting and working with the nervous system. We believe the nervous system holds the key to your ability to heal. This philosophy governs the how and what of our approach to supporting your healing journey

  • Mana Temple understands that connection in safe spaces is vital to the wellbeing of a person and further more, the health of a community. Our space seeks to be a hub of wellness and well-being for all, with no one left out.

  • "I've gained so much clarity”

    Wow! Just wow. I wish I could articulate the depth of feeling I have about our sessions. I feel like I’ve gained so much clarity & understanding about what my soul needs.

  • "I feel like me again"


    I wish I could express just how grateful I am for Chelsey’s practices. The more she teaches me about my nervous system & body & the more we explore together, the more I begin to feel like me."

    — Kate, Melbourne, VIC

  • "I am more present"

    I am more present than I have ever been - I am more aligned, I am able to handle hard feelings better, I journal everyday and with Chelsey’s help I have learned how to invite rituals into my day that help me stay grounded, connected and balanced.

    — Jane. Melbourne, VIC

  • “I overcame huge barriers.”
