A space to exhale, explore, and reconnect

You're here because something in you said yes. Yes to more presence. Yes to deeper connection - with yourself, your body, your truth. Yes to reconnecting with that soulful spark and what's been bubbling beneath the surface, waiting for permission to come through.

This is your space - to land, to breathe, to explore what it feels like to be truly resourced from the inside out. Whether you're seeking deep rest, nervous system support, or simply a place that sees the fullness of who you are, you're welcome here.

You've got this.

And I've got you.

Your journey starts here ↓

What you'll find here

CONNECTION, COMMUNITY, COMPASSION

Deep rest and rejuvenation through holistic, intuitive massage

Nervous system tools you can use every day (Regulated & Resourced program)

Gatherings that weave meditation, movement, and connection - because you were never meant to do this alone

For the woman who's been holding it all together:

You've been strong for so long. Showing up for everyone else. Pushing through when your body asked you to stop. Wearing that smile even when it didn't reach your heart.

And somewhere along the way, you drifted from yourself.

But here's what I know to be true: You are so worthy of coming home. Worthy of rest that actually restores you. Worthy of support that sees all of you - not just what you do, but who you are beneath it all.

You don't have to keep carrying this alone.

Hey, I'm Talitha!

founder of state of ananda

I'm a massage therapist, nervous system guide, meditation facilitator, and former Div 1 nurse who traded the fluorescent lights of the operating theatre for the intimacy of holistic care. After 16 years in nursing, I returned to what's always called to me: using my hands and heart to help women heal and come home to themselves.

I live by the beach on the Surfcoast in Vic, Australia with my family, and when I'm not in the treatment room or facilitating events, you'll find me running along the coast, moving my body, soaking up sunshine, or traveling with the people I love. I'm a mother, a seeker, and someone who knows what it feels like to override your own needs until you end up somewhere you don't even recognise.

That journey back to myself is exactly why I can hold space for yours.

What lights me up most:

Deep, connective 1:1 sessions where real healing happens

Helping women understand their nervous systems (not just manage stress)

Creating spaces that feel safe, intuitive, and truly nourishing

Watching women reconnect with their bodies and remember their joy

My background and training:

Diploma of Remedial Massage

Advanced Diploma of Meditation as Lifetsyle Medicine

Div 1 Nurse

some kind words from MY clients

Just beautiful. Exactly what I needed. A lovely gentle massage for early post partum. Talitha has a kind and nurturing presence and her massage was so incredible. Her added meditation touches were a highlight. Highly recommend.

Always 5 stars! Talitha is so generous with her time and the experience is next level magic.

Both incredibly relaxing and strong enough pressure to really relieve muscle soreness. I wish I could book in every single week! Hands down the best massage therapist in Torquay!

★★★★★

Had another amazing massage at State of Ananda. Talitha just melted away the tension in my neck and shoulders. My inner voice was humming in pleasure the whole time and thats during my deep tissue massage. Can't wait to find out what her relaxing one is like. Seriously there is nothing i can fault. Looking forward to my next treatment.
