This weekend of training peeled back a few more layers.

I visited the tender edges of grief I've been carrying for someone I love. I had my own growth edges met with gentleness and support. I reconnected with my teenage self and felt seen, with needs that once went unmet held with compassion and care. Tension i'd carried through my back and into one shoulder melted away with gentle contact.

A reminder that this journey was never meant to be walked alone. We heal and grow in safe connection, in relationship with others, and in community.

And on this training we're lucky to have these two gorgeous doggos as part of ours ❤️

Next week is a shorter week in studio for me as I head away for another 3 days of training.

I have one appointment still available for next week. If you are feeling like your nervous system is asking for a pause and a moment to reset, feel free to PM or you can book online. 🌺

Some words inspired by the beautiful souls that have come into my studio over the last week. And, a reminder that there is a poetry gathering 1st Sunday of each month at .books in Foxton 🤎 all welcome 🙏🏼

Could I sit here a while?
Let the wild weeds dance through the garden in the breeze.
Let the bushes grow over the boundaries of the fence.
Leave the bees
To their wandering.
Could I let the Kōwhai and Pōhutikawa
Take up space?
Let them
be trees.
For just this once, let them breathe.
Soft billowing breaths.

Could I let myself lie?
Here
Under the same sun.
The curves and folds of my being softening and expanding with the warmth.
Soft belly
Big breath
In
Out.
Could I let myself be wild with this garden?
Content with the hum of my own aliveness.

Mother’s Day — a day to celebrate and honour the māmās, mother figures, and nurturers in our lives 🤎

Thinking too of those for whom today is a reminder of grief, loss, or longing. Sending love gently your way.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt nominations. They speak to the deep importance of our māmās and nurturers, and the many roles they hold with such care and strength.

This voucher is on its way to the nominator to pass on to their special person 🤎🤎🤎

For the mama in your life who deserves to be nurtured… 🤍

Do you know a mama, nurturer, or mother figure who would truly benefit from a moment to pause, to rest her mind, body, and soul?
I’d love to gift one special person a 90-minute Nervous System Nourishment session.

To participate:
Send a Facebook message with the name of your person and a few words about why this would support them right now.

✨ One recipient will be chosen on May 8th
✨ You’ll be notified the day before Mother’s Day, so you can gift it to them on the day if you wish.

Let’s celebrate and honour the women who give so much — by giving them space to receive 🤍

(Gift vouchers also available for purchase)

A weekend on noho with these 'wa' kids.
We had the opportunity to write our karapīpiti, a journey from the heart, showing the essence of who we are and the spaces that our heart connects to. Where the pepeha can feel out of reach or create disconnection for many who do not know their whakapapa or do not come from this land, the karapīpiti shows us who we uniquely are and how we belong.

My piece so far, which talks to my connection to the ocean, the moana, and how this reminds me of all the ways all things are connected, body to body, body to earth, through wairua and whakapapa. It also talks to the healing nature of the ocean and the focus of my work, being on the power in the spaces and the ways we are connected.

Kei te rongo oku waewae i te onepū o Te Whārangi, te tātahi o Te Awahou ranei, te whenua o Ngāti Raukawa. Kei te hononga oku tamariki ki tenei whenua, a kei te noho mātou ki tēnei wāhi.

Kei te tiro oku karu ki te moana, Te Tai-o-Rehua. Kei te hononga te moana ki a au, a ki oku tangata. I haere oku tipuna I te maunga o Tahiti ki a Atiu, me ki te Hiku o te Ika, ma runga i te waka o Nga Tokimatawhaorua. I wehe te waka i Tahiti.

Kei te rongo oku taringa ki te waiata o te moana, a e maumahara ana au ki to maatau hononga. E hono ana te tīnana ki te whenua, a e hono ana hoki te wairua ki te whakapapa.

Kei te rongo au ki te mauri ora me te rongoa o te moana.

E tū ana ahau i roto i te wāhi ki waenganui i nga mea e hono ana i te tangata ki nga rangi tuhaha me te taiao.

Just a little update from me — I’ve finally set up an online booking system.

I know life gets busy, so this just makes it easier for you to jump on and book a time that suits you.

But nothing else has changed and I still love hearing from you, so if you’d rather message me or give me a call to book in, please do! I’m always happy to chat and help find a time that feels right.

I love being able to do this work and to bring this service to our little community.

Thank you for all your support to date — it truly means a lot.

I look forward to seeing you in the studio soon 🩶

The same person may arrive,
but the body is never the same.
Each session is an unfolding,
guided by presence, intuition, and deep listening.
No fixed protocols.
No forcing.
Just space…
for your body to be heard,
for your story to surface,
for your innate intelligence to lead the way.
Like the ocean, your body moves in rhythms.
I’m here to meet you in whatever tide you arrive in.
