I’m Annabel Newfield, aka Bela, and my life has been a deep, evolving journey of self-discovery. Ever since I was a kid, I sensed there was more to life than what most people saw. I began asking, “Who am I?”—even if I didn’t fully understand the weight of that question at the time.
In my early twenties, I had a conversation with my hairdresser, a spiritual Aussie guy. He said something that stuck with me: “Know thyself.” It seemed simple back then, but I felt a spark of truth. Over the years, that seed grew. I had unknowingly built up layers of protection and masks, not realising they were there, let alone who I was underneath them. Slowly, with a lot of seeking and inquiry, those barriers have come down. I’ve been determined to find peace and joy and now support others to ‘heal the mind’ and find themselves.
I’ve walked many paths, from yoga and meditation to working in conflict resolution (with The Alternatives to Violence Project in community and male and female prisons). I’ve worked in radio and TV, created dance films, taught dance and play for young children, and served as a birth doula. I’ve spent over a decade teaching tantra with Shakti Tantra. I’m Mum to an 18 year old daughter – the journey of raising her and navigating co-parenting has been one of my greatest teachers.
In 2022, I was drawn into A Course in Miracles, which turned my life upside down in the best way possible. Other non-duality teachers arrived including Charmain Berry, Luchana and Lubo, Rupert Spira, Mooji, Vince Schubert and more. This deep dive helped me create space to consolidate learning about the drama triangle, victim consciousness and codependency, to see through the illusions of the ego and find the truth of unconditional love. Tantra is a non-dual path, but it’s taken me stepping away from the tantra work to deeply heal to come back full circle and really get it!
Today, my passion is to help others heal their minds and remember who they truly are. It’s a joy to walk alongside you on this path – in the end, we’re all walking each other home. 💓
