I'm delighted you're here!
Here's some info about me...
I'm a life coach, author and keynote speaker based in Aotearoa, New Zealand. I coach people online, both nationally and internationally. My new clinic in Sandspit, is opening soon!
I hold space for you to remember who you truly are, beneath the stories you've been told and the experiences you've faced.
Think... confident, empowered, thriving, courageous, fun, connected, sexy, authentic... the list is endless.
Together we discover who YOU are...
And this is where things get exciting, because as you step more confidently into your most incredible, gorgeous self, we work on your relationships too, because honestly, you're relationships are where your healing, growth and transformation can truly unfold.
Supporting you, in your relationship with you and the relationship you have with others is my jam, or should I say honey, because I love honey!
I've been coaching since 2009, so I've been around for a while now. I've coached yoga teachers, designers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, midwives, leaders in their fields, doctors, managers, teachers, people in sales and many, many more.
I coach men and women and I'm very happy to say, that there's a lot more males getting coaching these days, than when I first started.
I also coach couples, which I absolutely LOVE!
One thing I've noticed over the years, is that every single person who comes to work with me is feeling something similar. A feeling of disconnection. It could be towards themselves, their partner, their work, their community, their purpose or something else.
Their disconnection can look like guilt, people pleasing, distance in their relationship, carrying everything on their own, wearing masks to fit in, reacting and wondering why, or bumping up against the same issues, time and time again.
This is why I wrote
HONONGA, a guide to a more connected, satisfying and authentic life. This book was written to help people cultivate more connection in their lives...
Here's a bit more about me...
I'm married to the love of my life Andy and together we've raised a blended family of five.
We have seven mokopuna (grandchildren).
I love being in the outdoors. Swimming in the moana (ocean) and walking in the ngahere (forest) are two places I recharge and ground myself.
If you were a fly on the wall, you'd know I sing whenever I get the chance. It brings me so much joy and I honestly think intuition speaks to me through songs quite often.
I can be an over-thinker, I have lots of journals on the go at one time, I'm practical, but I also have a deeply spiritual side to me and I'm a Virgo, so I can have high standards, but I also care deeply, which is probably why I've ended up supporting people for a living.
And this is how I came, to where I am today...
One day about 30 years ago, a gorgeous friend played a huge part in transforming my life. She handed me a copy of Louise Hay’s book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’. This was definitely a pivotal moment in my life, because after reading the first page I was hooked. This book spoke to me. It made me realise that I was responsible for my happiness, not my partner, my career, the weather or anything else outside of me. It was up to me, I held the power and if I chose to, I could create myself, a beautiful life.
After reading that book, my thirst for knowledge and growth became a constant. I immersed myself in many teachings; Kinesiology, Bach Flowers, Life Coaching, Louise Hay’s teacher training, Kundalini Yoga, First Light Flower Essences and I attended many workshops, hired counselors, life coaches and business coaches. I was a sponge for knowledge and it was an incredible time.
Through all of this learning I transformed my life. As I grew I moved away from my home-town, left toxic relationships behind, met the love of my life, Andy and we’ve now been together for 25 years.
I improved my health, healed past wounds and addictions and met the most amazing Soul sisters and took the plunge and started my coaching business Blossom.
As I began my te reo Māori journey, my healing continued and I also realised that I was already intuitively living and sharing with clients a holistic way of life that is closely linked to a Māori worldview. I felt deeply connected to all of life, including the spirit world. I understood that the body is sacred, the breath is healing, nature is medicine, our relationships are deeply important and our relationship with self is directly related to our connection with Papatūānuku and all of life. And that as we deepen our connection with ourselves, we become better kaitiaki.
Over the years I have found myself in some incredibly challenging situations and I’ve had to dig deep and find my inner strength to let go of my old ways and create the life I now live, yet it was all worth it.
My journey so far has given me the empathy, to understand others situations, the humility to know we can all fall down, yet we can rise again, the wisdom to trust my intuition and say what comes through me and the tools, to support others to create a life they truly desire.
I was a little girl, covered in eczema who lacked confidence and doubted herself big time. Beneath what I appeared to be, there has always been a fire in my belly and a desire to support people and make the world a better place.
So beautiful, what are you longing to achieve, embrace, conquer, manifest or transform?
I would love to support you to make it happen…
