SACRED WOMEN’S JOURNEYS.
Belinda O’Dea is the founder of Sacred Women’s Journeys, a sanctuary for the heart offering transformative retreats, sacred circles and therapy sessions for women of all ages and life stages. She creates spaces of compassion, connection, and inner peace for women seeking rest, renewal, and deeper self-understanding. Belinda also guides Deep Rest Rituals for both women and men, offering a nurturing path to relaxation, balance, and calm.
Her work supports women in cultivating emotional healing, spiritual reconnection, and holistic wellbeing through the power of presence, mindfulness, and restoring the nervous system with stillness practices and guided relaxation.
Her deepest calling is to guide people home to themselves, to a place of acceptance, authenticity, wholeness, and profound inner peace. Through Sacred Women’s Journeys, she offers women a nurturing space to cultivate awareness, recognise their power of choice, and create meaningful, lasting change.
With fifteen years of experience as a Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Women’s Circle Facilitator, and International Retreat Leader — and now in her final year of training as a Gestalt Therapist — Belinda blends ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary awareness-based therapy.
This unique integration fosters nurturing, life-affirming experiences for women seeking deeper self-understanding and personal growth.
Her passion is to help women reclaim their sense of self, navigate major life transitions, cultivate emotional resilience as they develop self-support, and embody the deeper practices of Yoga, both on and off the mat.
Rooted in the Path of Classical Tantra, Belinda’s work provides a refined space for ritual, reflection, and soulful growth — the living inspiration behind Sacred Women’s Journeys.
A lifelong student of the sacred arts, Belinda weaves together Classical Tantra, Women’s Mysteries, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Japanese Tea Ceremony, Mantra Healing and Gestalt Therapy.
This holistic integration informs her one-on-one therapy, sacred women’s circles, deep rest rituals, and women’s retreats — offering grounded, compassionate support through life’s challenges, identity shifts, and a dedication to healing the disoriented feminine.
With over 25 years of dedicated yoga practice and 15 years of teaching yoga, Belinda has led international retreats since 2014 and is now a practicing psychotherapist under professional supervision. She is a member of professional industry bodies GANZ (Gestalt Therapy Australia and New Zealand) and IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists).

Each modality invites women to slow down, reconnect with inner wisdom, and restore emotional balance — fostering stillness, clarity, and authentic relating to self, other and the environment.
At 48, Belinda’s journey spans over three decades of self-discovery, enriched by cultural immersions across Asia, Europe, and South America. She first encountered the sacred arts of Japan at the age of 16, during a scholarship to study Japanese language and culture. Her enduring love for this refined culture is reflected in her appreciation for beauty, ceremonial practice, and her expertise as a graceful and thoughtful hostess.
She also holds a First-Class Honours Degree in Fashion Design from RMIT University and previously worked in senior creative design roles within Australia and South East Asia’s fashion industries.
Her shift from the fashion world to the healing arts of yoga and psychotherapy reflects a devotion to moving beyond the material while still embracing life’s little luxuries — creating experiences that honour both spiritual depth and worldly beauty.
If you are a woman seeking soul-nourishing goddess gatherings, women’s half-day retreats, deep rest rituals, or holistic healing through individual therapy sessions, Sacred Women’s Journeys offers a sanctuary to reconnect with your inner wisdom, restore balance and peace, and embrace your feminine power and purpose.
