Business or life feeling a bit stuck?
Maybe you're not feeling stuck but just not quite aligned?
Missing that spark, or spring to your step?
Looking for that something?
Maybe you're looking in the wrong places and know it's within?
Maybe just maybe you know you're not living your fullest potiental?
Maybe just maybe you know what to do but you just don't know where to start?
Or maybe you just want to start again with a plan, clearing out what doesn't service you.
Like spring cleaning
Our systems need it too,
Your phone needs it.
When was the last time you turned your phone off to recharge without being ON charge?
Or deleted ALL your 1000's of photo's to unclutter your phone?
Now imagine doing that to your brain and life
Imagined how aligned you'd feel
Switching off and aligning
with YOU

It didn't happen overnight, nor did it happen over a few months,
It happened with a vision, a clear vision
Many years ago,
A space to hang out, to make memories, to laugh, to cry, to create
Magic
However that looks
15 years ago, I did draw a little Time2Shine Palace, a place to call Time2hine home.
Many times I've realigned myself, home-based business is awesome and all
But that's also now my families home too,
And I needed to realign with my best life
Manifesting my best life, isn't sitting on the sidelines
It's seeing a clear vision, and taking inspired aligned action to what YOU want and how YOU want it.
Life is happening to you
Either way
You are manifesting to what ever you are allowing
and aligning in life
The energy flows so whether it's good or bad, it's up to you and that's what aligned is about
Aligning to YOUR north node, your truest authentic self, the next phase or verision or chapter,
HOWEVER YOU see it, that's how it is
You get so many versions of yourself in a life time
But again
YOU have to step into that next you
So business or personal
It all gets shaken up for YOU to match that vibration, the energy, the emotion
ALIGN and it will all flow,
but it will not always be easy
Easy is comfort zone and if you want something differnt to your usual
well you know what they say
Get out of your head
Get out of YOUR comfort zone
Because staying safe
It's not growing you

Countdown is on, your Alignment is coming, are you ready?
Join us for two full days with me as your host and guide, supporting you on a journey through breaking beliefs, barriers and your old systems.
Tapping out the old, and tapping into the new,
I welcome you to join us,
it'll be raw, messy, real and actionable,
You'll leave with tools for your toolbox, a regulated nervous system ready to trust again and most importantly, an aligned, inspired action plan to leave with giving you the tools to carry your journey with confidance and trust in yourself that YOU are where you need to be.
And you will always be right where you need to be,
I live by this method,
I'm not perfect but I walk the path,
The path less traveled to live my aligned inspired life
Riding the waves,
and you can too

Petrified of heights? But I climbed the pipeline track alone.
This world is yours.
You are the only one holding you back.
Want more?
Go for it.
Want less?
Let it go.
Sometimes we have responsibilites, yes.
But we still get to choose how we show up.
For yourself.
I'm a Mum, and over and over the husband says, do you.
And I laugh,
So I hear you,
Responsibilites, it's a thing,
But you still get to choose how you show up,
I said it twice for a reason
I got to choose to be a mum,
Oh I know I didn't expect to be this tired,
But I still choose to cherish those moments of tiredess and remind myself, I get to choose to rest, relax and enjoy the fresh crisp air.

Align with your truest self is as easy as seeing you get to choose.
Choose your path,
Choose your hard
Choose your truth
Am I petrified of heights? Yes, do I choose to overcome them by beautiful views and reminding myself I am safe, Yes I do.

Taken many years ago, During another transition in my life.
Do you see the face behind me?
I carried my wired headphones, a waterbottle, and a side back up the pipline, my thoughts were, why do I carry so much?
In this moment and in life...

My In person two day immersion
The aligned.
Align yourself to you
However that looks
Hands on, Tapping, Goal setting, Shattering those limiting B's keeping you stuck, or in a loop? I've got you, let's get aligned!

Never seen footage, what a planned natural homebirth looks like.
We planned, we soaked in all that love of possiblities around us,
I listened within, and hibernatied, what didn't feel right, I didn't stay, my energy and my mindset was far more important for what journey I was on.
I was determined to have a planned homebirth, natural, raw, messy, at my own pace (as such) but mostly, around my own loves, the day of my son's birth....

I actually had a newborn portrait and 3D life casting session, the day before a regular messaged and asked if I was up to it, and new I was due, but I was like HELL YES, but tomorrow or Friday coz I'm just tomorrow or something like that. Little did I know that night I'd be screaming in my toilet, calling my mum and Midwive to get over here asap.

Lucky we planned a home birth, because I wasn't going anywhere far from that loo, lucky for me, husband had put the birthing pool up in baby's room and had cleaned up the spa filled it up, (our plan his plan was to keep refilling the spa not use the spa and transfer the water to the birthing pool, which btw totally worked, Just in time as I dove into the pool, midwives crying out not to run from my bathroom to the lounge
instant relief

that chlorine smell, the fire roaring, my mum there with the midwives and Anton pouring in more water to get it to the right hieght.

Over the years I've been blessed to capture homebirths and hosptial births, baby fresh 48 hours portraits too, I've seen it all, and with great pleasure had my own midwive there who I worked alongside twice, feeling safe, scared and completely over it, I remember saying I can't do this, and don't touch me...
If you've been at a birth or the one in the birthing moment, you know.
Some supportive words later and my sweet baby was here, 1 hour and 58 minutes later.
Well as much as we planned for our home birth, we didn't really plan to be on time for our birth due date at 11.59pm our son was born, healthy, crying and eagar to feed. New mum, new feels, my husband reminds me is that my baby, was my first words,

Allowing our plecenta to be attached during his bonding with us and having his checks to ensure he was indeed a healthy well sounded and rounded beautiful baby boy.

For us to make this happen, a lot of inner work was done, a lot of wording on how we spoke to friends and family and even strangers, it was a time of wearing face masks, and honestly heavliy pregnant wearing a face mask did not seem healthy nor was it, but my son and I, we were healthy and thanks to my husband for being strong to be able to support us through our planned beautiful raw and messy home birth, the best start we could ever give our wee man and how lucky we could have this opportinutity. Some are unaware you can have a home birth, some don't even releaise you can plan for this, or that there are midwives speclisied.

Beyond grateful, because in my business at Time2Shine Photography, I listen and over the year I took note, and because of my clients, and those that walk the path less travelled, it's not wrong or right where you give birth, it's how you show up, and I had my hostpital just in case bag, and if it was the case, I had my little go to items to bring me back to where I wanted to be, and that was being right where I needed to be, mind body and soul.

I'm holding our 2 day in person immersion THIS MONTH and the steps I took, will be here. You can create your best life, you just have to align with it, take the actions and clear out what's holding you back, which is normally.... YOU.

Water your garden and it will grow.
I just thought of that, it wasn't what I was going to post, because I wanted to be aligned with the two-day immersion but did you know I get to choose how I show up and what I post?

It's pretty amazing,being aligned, in a way that I can recognise the shift, of I have to, to I get to as well. Four spaces left on my two-day in person immersion, Aligned living, this is perfect for if you are in that phase where you want a little guidance, a little clarity, a little nudge but with all the hard raw and messy questions and mihi that goes with shattering those limiting beliefs to actually get you through. Using holistic tools, having them for everyday use and immersing into your own actionable, aligned goals to manifesting and taking action on your best life, whether that's business, life or both.
26 days and counting,
Beyond excited to hold space for you,
No waiting for the building to be open,
Held in my home, making it your home sweet home for the two full days, where you will get to head home and immerse back into everyday life (if you are from Chch that is).

Included? So much, that I've already written a novel here so please be sure to check out our 2 day immersion.

Manifestation, Manifesting, Manifest It's time to live your best life. Stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, in a loop? Let's make it YOUR Time2Shine with our in person immersion, using real life tools, goal setting and a clear road map to our aligned pathway to living our best life

We've been quiet, but we have been busy! Well the husband has, and boy is the building coming along 🥰
We weren't going to paint it, but with so much given to us, and having to primer the building after the window's it was a no-brainer. Everything we do here, we do with love and a lot of thought. Our future colour is dusk,pastel pink not white, but we were saying goodbye black and hello white for now.
With that we've been reusing whatever we can in our project, reusing is something we know saves the planet, our pockets and the building too. Anton spending time repairing old ceiling grids, if you knew how expensive those grids are, you'd be fixing them up too 😂 out with the blue and in the with the white too.

But in all realness, with the building going white (mostly), it's made me have the AHHA moment of what to call the building itself, as the Time2Shine brand is only some of the epic businesses making homebase, we also have a few other amazing businesses moving in too, so naming rights? Anyone?

Enjoy this little snippet, it's on our sister page 🥰
Thanks hubby we love you!!! And all your detailed extra's!
That's why he was the last man on any building site - the finisher of finishers, but also the one who'll save your wallet by doing it right, and effiecent. Your the best!

It started with a vision.
Many years ago.
A Time2Shine Photography house, but not just for my studio, for all to come, embrace the phase or stage or whatever it is.
To find inspiration, find some guidance if not from me from someone else that might be where you once were.
For me the Name Time2Shine is about just that. Making that light shine. Because the darkness needs a little light,
Like the moon up above, and the stars all around, the moon guides us home and so to do you back to
Yourself.

My vision has never really changed much, we've adapted, evolved and included more of the feel good feels.

In my 15 years in my brand, I've walked the walk, talked the talk but mostly, I've held space and held face, when it truly matters the most.
Mums crying, dads napping, grandma's and grandpa's in proud status quo of the life that is always moving and doing.
My studio has always been a safe space, grouding, loving and filled with compassion.
We're not your typical studio for just yoga, or mat pilates, or breathwork, or a portrait studio.
Oh no,
it's more than that if you
want it to be.

The building name itself has finally come to me, but I'm in mix minds. So I'm going to leave a beautiful, raw, stuck in the middle of the mess, portrait of the building we will soon get to call home away from home ☺

Idea's on the building name? I have a couple but I'd love your help! Drop some names below, this is for the building itself not our business. The building will honst not just my businesses but our friends businesses too, other amazing local talent that I am so excited to co-share our beautiful curated space with.

It's a journey, a beautiful, rip my heart open and love again type of journey but so grounding and beautiful.

Did you know I'm not actually a yoga teacher?!
Most yoga studio's the yoga teacher is the director and honestly, I love being on the mat, a dedicated student I am that is looking forward to connecting our Teachers, and students and our community back to the roots of our land and sea back to our mat.

The opportunity we had to purchase our building, we jumped on. And when we take a glimpse back, I'm like yes we would do this all again, just maybe some tweaks on timelines and diligence.

We thought we would have been open, this time last year, but buying a direlect building, doesn't really work like that, and honestly we did with with not much cash assests, some say I'm crazy, and that's okay, because being passionate, driven and a tad crazy is how the world evolves, and how rome was built. Not in a day but step by step.

Meeting more amazing teachers and students, our community is already connecting, flourishing and embracing our presence

And I don't know about you, but that is powerful,
Exciting
and so so humbling.

We want to hear from you!
The hours, the sessions, the classes, all of it!
Do you plan to bus, walk or drive? Maybe Bike?
We have a shared carpark across the road - this is free! And no the council can never charge us as we are part owners.
Along with street parking and the parking down at the River at the end of Hardy Street.
Bus stop? Right out front baby! #5 goes straight to our door, you are welcome 😅
It was one of YES we must have this space. My clients at Time2Shine Photography come from all over, even as far as Rolleston, I know some don't want to bus, but having the option to bus to the beach, wowee

For us it's about embracing every stage and coming just as you are.
No need to feel in the mood, or having to show up as someone else or put on that fake smile, I've been there and we see past that.
Need a hug? Or need a quick dart in, We'll be there for you.
As well as welcoming you in with big open arms and a wagging tail that you chose us to share your time with.

One time I went to a class and my aunty just passed away tragically, and honestly I didn't want to be at home, I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to go to yoga something routine and be on my mat, I cried, I moved, I was just there, in shock really. But that time I look back on all that I did during that first bit of grief, it was so important along with those that seen me and gave me that time or that hug and just showed >me< I was human and I was loved and they didn't know what was going on.

Big love to all the teachers that know, and show up being the most magical little fairies, because life happens, that was almost 6 years ago and as I currently have no real yoga routine I know what it's like when you'd like to have some kind of routine, we get to make it and sometimes it takes a little longer to make, but it's coming and we've curated one amazing weekly timetable that will make coming back to the mat, even easier!
