About us
hey beautiful soul ~ we’re grace and joseph, life partners, co-creators, and the hearts behind affinity of souls. born on the beaches of perth and expanded through the jungles, forests, and coastlines of the world, this space is a reflection of our shared love for deep connection, adventure, and inner transformation.
what started as a quiet nudge to share the practices that changed our lives has evolved into something so much bigger, a growing movement of retreats, events, and experiences designed to bring people together, crack hearts open, and remind us of what really matters.
we believe healing doesn’t have to be heavy, and growth doesn’t have to be done alone.
here, we keep things real ~ grounded in community, fuelled by curiosity, and wrapped in joy.
whether you're diving into breathwork for the first time, dancing barefoot under the stars at a retreat, or simply craving authentic connection, we’re here to walk beside you.
our intention is simple: to create spaces where you feel safe to be seen, supported to evolve, and inspired to reconnect — with nature, with others, and with yourself.
we also co-founded studio satya, a sanctuary space in perth where we offer intimate sessions, ceremonies, and workshops designed to reconnect you with yourself and your community. satya means truth — and that’s exactly what our studio stands for: a place where you can show up as you are, and be met with warmth, depth, and compassion.

Grace
grace is on a mission to share the practices that have transformed her life, making them accessible, inclusive, and deeply nourishing for everyone she meets. her passion lies in guiding others back to their authentic essence, and creating spaces where people feel safe to explore, expand, and truly be themselves.
her journey began with yoga, a practice that lit something within her and has since evolved into a love for many healing modalities. from sound to stillness, movement to breath, grace weaves her knowledge into every session, retreat, and offering she holds.
she’s the founder of essence of grace yoga and co-founder of affinity of souls, two heart-led communities built around connection, healing, and shared experience.
grace holds certifications in 200hr vinyasa yoga, yoga nidra, restorative yoga, mindfulness, prenatal and postnatal yoga, mums & bubs yoga, sound healing, breathwork, and ice bath facilitation.
with over 13 years’ experience as a qualified event manager (and a stint as a travel consultant), she’s the planner, organiser, and adventure-seeker behind many of the magic-filled retreats and events you see today.
she’s deeply passionate about lunar living, astrology, and women’s health, especially supporting those navigating pcos, and is always diving into something new to better support her community.
grace can’t wait to welcome you into a space soon — whether it’s a retreat, a class, or one of the soul-nourishing events she loves to create.
Joseph
joseph is what he likes to call “just an average tradie bloke who loves football and gaming” but beneath that is a man deeply committed to healing, growth, and helping others reconnect to who they truly are.
with over 13 years working as an electrician in the construction industry, joseph knows the pressures and pace of everyday life. yet through his own personal journey, he felt a strong pull toward the world of health and well-being and followed it.
today, joseph is a certified breathwork facilitator (trauma-informed, functional & performance-based), ice bath guide, and sound healer. whether working with men’s mental health, supporting athletes to optimise their breath, or holding space for deep emotional release, joseph brings grounded wisdom, lived experience, and a whole lot of heart.
he’s also the founder of the breath coach, a platform dedicated to making breathwork accessible for everyone. his passion lies in trauma work, nervous system regulation, and empowering others to step into their most authentic self, using the same practices that changed his life.
he’s always up for a chat about the round-ball kind of football, his latest gaming obsession, travel stories, or just a good old laugh. joseph is truly honoured to walk this path with you and looks forward to connecting at a session or event soon.
