Experience gentle, fascia-informed movement to restore flow, release tension, & reconnect with your body’s wisdom.
The body remembers. The body knows. For over 30 years, Fiona Goldsmith has guided people back into their bodies. From Byron Bay to Los Angeles, Cancun to Bali, she has studied, practiced, and shared the intelligence of fascia - the body’s hidden web of memory, emotion, and light.
Back in Melbourne after four years abroad, Fiona invites you to experience facial manoeuvres, a gentle yet powerful practice where spiralling movements of the fascia, therapeutic breath, and mindful awareness help unlock what the body has been holding.
This is not stretching as we know it, nor is it about pressing, rolling, or forcing release. Instead, it is the body’s own language - a way of remembering and allowing your body to reset to a more natural, ease-filled state.
Patterns of tension held for years begin to soften, space returns, and the body remembers its natural ease. Many describe this as almost magical - though it is simply the body’s wisdom being given room to respond.
This workshop is suitable for every body, no flexibility required, and is supportive for those living with old injuries. Accessible, profound, and often transformative, this experience offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and explore what a true physical “reset” feels like.
*Fiona will be offering a complimentary 20-minute online check-in session to each participant after the event.

Things to note:
Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Something to cover your eyes, if you wish to do so (eg. eye mask, scarf). A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).
Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.
Notice of Partial Moment Amateur Photography/Videography: There are many events held at Centre of You where no content is captured. The facilitator of this event however wishes to capture moments of this gathering for future marketing and community-sharing purposes. This will take place via their personal device captured by themselves or a representative. We recognise that being recorded can impact personal comfort and nervous system regulation and we want to honor your preferences. If you do not wish to have your image captured yet still wish to join, know that this is entirely possible at this event. Please speak with us at the door so we can honour your boundaries. If you’d like to review any footage captured at the conclusion of the event, you are most welcome to do so.
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 10:45am - 11:00am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 11:15am. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
Driving: Centre of You is located upon Chapel Street and while you may get lucky with an untimed spot, particularly on a Sunday (try High Street) predominantly 1 and 2 hour parking is available (unmetered from 5pm). So you can fully settle into the practice, we suggest you avoid the need to move your car or risk a fine and park at the CARe multilevel carpark (8-14 King Street Prahran), a 140-metre walk from COY. 3 hours parking will be charged at $6.90.
Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).
Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
Finding Centre of You: Centre of You is nestled within the arcade that Chapel St Bazaar is in (217 Chapel St). It is up a flight of stairs with a wide landing at the half-way-point. Unfortunately, this current version of Centre of You does not have a wheelchair accessible lift. If you could use support in getting up the stairs or would like to discuss ways to make your experience at Centre of You more comfortable, please reach out via hello@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
Accessibility: At COY we aim to ensure our community and events are inclusive and accessible while alongside upholding the needs and responsibilities of our business and the businesses of our collaborating facilitators.
