BELINDA O’DEA - WOMEN’S HOLISTIC healing.
Belinda O’Dea is the founder of Sacred Women’s Journeys (formerly Yoga, Travel & Wellness), a sanctuary for the heart that offers transformative retreats, holistic therapy sessions, and sacred group and private rituals for women of all ages and life stages. She creates spaces of compassion, connection, and inner peace, supporting women who seek rest, renewal, and self-understanding.
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 women 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 nearly fifteen years of experience as a Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Women’s Circle Facilitator, and International Retreat Leader — and now 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 feminine essence, cultivate emotional resilience as they access 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 embodied self-awareness, Belinda weaves together Classical Tantra, Women’s Mysteries, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Practices, and Gestalt Therapy.
This holistic integration informs her one-on-one therapy, relaxation rituals, workshops, and retreats — offering grounded, compassionate support through life’s transitions, identity shifts, and the reclamation of a woman’s sense of self in midlife.
With over 25 years of dedicated yoga practice and nearly 15 years of teaching, Belinda has led international retreats since 2014 and is completing a comprehensive four-year Gestalt Psychotherapy Training, finishing in 2026.
Her advanced Yoga Certifications include:
Hatha Yoga

Expert Specialisations:

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 age 48, Belinda’s own journey spans more than three decades of self-discovery, enriched by cultural immersion across Asia, Europe, and South America.
She also holds a First-Class Honours Degree in Fashion Design from RMIT University and previously worked in senior creative roles within Australia and Asia’s fashion industries.
Her shift from the fashion world to the healing arts of yoga and therapy reflects a devotion to moving beyond the material while still embracing life’s little luxuries — creating experiences that honour both spiritual depth and worldly elegance.
If you are a woman seeking luxury retreats in Perth, holistic healing through Gestalt Therapy for women, or deep renewal via mindfulness and Yoga Nidra, Sacred Women’s Journeys provides a sanctuary to reconnect with your feminine wisdom, restore inner peace, and reclaim your sense of self, power, and purpose.
