Meet Maddy
I first tried to write this about page using chat GPT and in doing so I realised that I was moving in the opposite direction to my truth.
Creative expression, authenticity and connection are deep core values of mine and ones I choose to live by, each day.
Born in Australia, and live half the year in Italy. I’m married to a wonderful Italian man who still makes me laugh. We have 3 gorgeous children (some would say I am biased) whom I love to pieces. We also have a huge Newfoundland dog, Maya, that swims with me all year round and gets fed way too much by my in laws..
I currently spend my time writing, teaching meditation, grappling with technology and running my own business, traveling and homeschooling my son who travels for competition wakeboarding. If I’m not doing any of the above, you’ll find me swimming, reading, cooking or recording a daily message for my evolve members.
Meet my teachers
1o years ago I began my journey with Strala Yoga in New York with Tara Stiles and Mike Green. 8 years ago I travelled to North Wales. Over a period of about 3 years, I became a Dru meditation teacher. 6 years ago, I travelled to Umbria, Italy, to learn Vedic Meditation with my teacher Light Watkins. That course changed my life. During that week, I had the first spark of inspiration that I might want to follow in his footsteps and become a Vedic meditation teacher too.
Light has taught thousands of people, all around the world since his graduation in 2007 and his Ted talk “Debunking the 5 myths of meditation” has more than a million views and his engaging teaching style continues to be a huge inspiration to me. I was fortunate enough to attend his trainings in New York and London before the world shut down in 2020.
Later that year I began my advanced studies with teacher trainer Tim Brown and fellow teacher Nicho Plowman from Sydney. After a long training period, I graduated as a teacher of Vedic Meditation in February 2022 and along with my sister, set up Marou home at Maroubra beach in Sydney, with idea of making meditation accessible to more people and creating a supportive, loving community.
