"My journey into Yoga started after heart surgery when I was looking for a soft, restorative style type of exercise to rebuild my health & wellness. Unfortunately, there was nothing around at the time. Fast forward 20 years; I heard about Yin yoga long before it was a "thing" in Australia. So I travelled to Canada and trained under Paul Grilley's assistant. The rest, they say...is history! Yin is my thing! Restorative is my thing!! I have never looked back!! Love to share it with anyone. Love to guide and see how much people dive in and take their self-care to the sky. Come and join me. All Welcome."

Almost two decades on – Australia’s unfinished commitment to human rights leaves survivors without justice.

In April 2009, Australia formally endorsed United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) – a global landmark framework affirming the inherent rights of indigenous peoples.

Australia’s failure to embed the rights of Indigenous peoples into domestic law continues to disadvantage Stolen Generations survivors.

The Healing Foundation CEO Shannan Dodson says this failure is causing profound and lasting consequences for survivors – inaction risks denying justice entirely, with many survivors likely to pass before meaningful reform is delivered.

“Embedding UNDRIP into all policies that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is essential, so survivors can heal with dignity, and so future generations never face the harms of forced removal again,” she said.

Australia’s lack of progress has been previously described by the United Nations as ‘woefully inadequate’.

UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, Dr Albert K. Barume, will visit Australia later this year.

The Healing Foundation looks ahead to the visit, which represents a critical opportunity to highlight the need for Australia to move beyond endorsement of international conventions and toward delivery.

Last week the UN hosted its 25th UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) – a forum to address Indigenous issues regarding economic and social development, culture, environment, education, health, and human rights.

‘Ensuring Indigenous Peoples’ access to healthcare, including during conflict’, was the theme for the forum this year.
