Hello
I'm a pakeha Kiwi from Dunedin that has spent now a little more than half her life in Australia. I am a partner and a grateful mum to one awesome kid and two large dogs.
I'm a nurturer who loves gardening and cooking. An (untidy) Virgo who enjoys self reflection I would love to never have a negative thought. I am a walker and deep thinker, given enough walking time I'm certain there is a book within me waiting to be written. I have only a few high quality friends and enjoy solitude, a slow pace with plenty of time to ponder, gain insight and enjoy the natural environment that supports my work here in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges.
I'm real, simple and honest.
My Story
I believe healing is about maturing, its about listening to your truth. As you learn to love and care for yourself in the way your soul most needs. Becoming who you already are, but can't yet see... because shitty things have happened and as a result you've contracted around your natural self.
We restore our mauri (our essence) and our life force flows, we restore our own energy and come home to ourselves.
​
My practice within the healing arts began about 20 years ago at a weekend massage therapy workshop. It was a whim that turned into a personal healing journey and life's work. My intuitive ability presented at that time as I experienced the landscape of the body telling its story. I received impressions, feelings, images and affirmations.
​
Holding the thread of emotional insight has allowed me to build an ability to walk alongside my clients, offering support for them to release contracted energy such as stored memories, emotions, inherited stories, patterns, impressions and beliefs.
​
I have done various studies in the healing arts over the years building my massage therapy, healing and counseling tool kit. However I believe the felt experiences, somatic practices, insights and epiphanies from my own personal therapy, spirit initiations and from the profound learning I've gleaned bearing witness to my clients healing is where I have most developed as a practitioner.
These experiences felt as deep truths, spirit guidance and embodied clarity are retained and carried within the delivery and potency of my offerings as a practitioner.
Its a wisdom beyond ordinary understanding that comes through experience.
​
From the teachings of traditional Maori Bodywork we work 'mauri ki te mauri,' soul speaking to soul. Allowing the energy to delivers us. The healing medicine is our essence which is already seeking growth, balance and renewal.
What we need is sacred time and space where we feel held and safe enough to repair the distorted threads and reweave ourselves back into wholeness. My practice offers supportive tending with bodywork for you to allow your unique healing to unfold.
