About Us

Hi, I'm Kathrin, a working mum based on the Gold Coast and the heart behind Take Time to Relax. This space was born out of my personal journey through stress, exhaustion and healing. I truly believe that when we take the time to care for ourselves, even in small ways, we can show up as calmer, more grounded versions of ourselves, not just for us, but for the people we love.

Our carefully created relaxation sessions have been years in the making. They were created from a place of need at a challenging time in my life, I craved simple, practical ways to relax and reduce stress. Through my own experience and breast cancer journey, I discovered that self-care isn’t about indulgence but it’s essential. Even taking a few deep breaths during a busy day or setting aside short moments to pause can make a world of difference.

I've been teaching yoga and meditation since 2005 formally known as Kathrin’s Yoga, and I've seen firsthand the profound benefits taking moments to relax can bring. After the birth of my daughter, I faced medical complications and found myself with little support. During that time, I learned how vital it is to prioritise mental wellbeing and to find realistic ways to recharge amidst the chaos of motherhood and the demands of daily life.

I draw from my life experience, extensive background in yoga, meditation, life coaching, and holistic wellness to create supportive, calming practices that are easy to access and integrate into your life. Whether it’s through our relaxation self care sessions or yoga classes my goal is to help women reconnect with themselves, reduce stress and feel more at peace.

My Vision

My hope is to inspire women to take regular time to relax, recharge and nurture their wellbeing. When we do, we not only feel more balanced and calm, but we’re able to share that calm with our families, friends, workplaces and communities.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business and my dream of helping women to relax, feel better and live more mindfully.

With love and relaxation,
Kathrin xoxo
