Cass – Founder, Feminine Arts Practitioner and Bodyworker

Cass here..

In 2019, I founded Melt by exploring the question ‘there must be more to life than ‘this’’, I realised that to increase my happiness I needed to gain more energy and vitality. Throughout my life and through my creative work I continue to explore the integration of mind, body, and spirit and transforming pain and confusion in the human experience into awe and wonder for the great mystery.

I identify three major turning points in my journey that has led me to the work i do today.

I found myself in a healing crisis with severe abdominal and pelvic pain, disfunctional eating, debilitating anxiety, emotional instability - trying to repair through push and effort, trial and investigation, it took me down a path to study Traditional Balinese Bodywork. With a feminine, nurturing, devotional approach to the vessel the Women of Bali provided a space for my body to recalibrate and receive whilst simultaneously uncovering my flow, ease and awakening for touch therapy and holding ceremonial spaces. I now devote much of my time weaving around and through the hearts, bodies and emotional landscapes of woman who are navigating all forms of transition and ushering in body healing, transformation, stability and faith.

Through early life, I was raised on a farm in central west NSW, it taught me about the creative process and the cycles of life through planting seeds, patience, caring for animals and physical labour. My appreciate for the salt of the earth, hard working, say it straight, community driven people has influenced how I move through life today. Aiming to embody the mantra “Try to be a little better than you were yesterday."

The second turning point, In 2020, is when I started practicing and studying Kundalini Yoga. My first class taught by Guru Jagat, was completely mind altering. At the beginning of lock down in Melbourne, there was a level of fear and sadness arising, I quickly was able to shift my frequency in a matter of 1 class. This set the tone for the depth of investigating into the art, science and mechanisms of happiness through the tools and teachings Kundalini Yoga offers.

This practice activated my path to a more meaningful existence. I have found great purpose in sharing the wisdom and the woman’s teachings while honouring the traditional lineage of kundalini yoga, I find fulfilment in curating classes that elevate, connect and remind us of our primordial beauty and intelligence of our body and being. I am deeply fascinated by the sophistication of our architectural human design, the journey has and always will be ‘in and through the body’.

Kundalini Yoga has been an foundation tool to come back to my practice and when I am practicing consistently, there is a different energy that runs through me, a vitality, a return of the life force!

The third pivotal moment happened in 2024, an supernatural encounter with God on a mountain in Mallorca. The all encompassing, overwhelming washing over of divine love. Nothing else deserves that title apart from God. It’s a funny story which I’ll share more another time. Since then I’ve been obsessed with God and Jesus, I’ve picked up the bible and devoted my life to following the way of Christ. Allowing Him to ‘use’ me, work through me and guide me towards.. well wherever He wants me to go, whatever He wants me to say, how He wants me to act and serve.

Gladly, it has led me to being the most centred, joyful, relaxed, in flow state, I’ve ever experienced, life is not with out challenges or fear.. yet I feel incredible held by my Heaven Father with the waves of life roll in. Today I gratefully get to offer my Women’s health and healing bodywork sessions, at Bronte dispensary in Sydney. I get to work within a community service led space, devoted to family health, menstruation restoration, pregnancy and postpartum support - The whole red thread. I wish every community had a clinic like this.
