The Brave Space Welcome to The Brave Space! My name is Amy and I created The Brave Space to support children to thrive physically, mentally and emotionally. Amy x

Empowering young people to thrive through yoga, mindfulness, meditation, sharing circles, emotional wellbeing education, breathing techniques, metacognition, intuitive dance, creative expression, nature connection, gratitude & more. I have big dreams for this initiative, but for now the focus is on offering in-person yoga experiences to small groups of children living in the eastern Bay of Plenty area. In children's yoga the focus is on connecting and having fun, and we empower each child to feel confident in their own skin. Kids yoga encourages a peaceful mind, strong, healthy body and nurtures a creative spirit. I am a qualified yoga teacher for both adults and children. For the latter I was trained by the legendary Michaela Sangi of Yogi Kids Professional Development in Auckland. More information about Michaela and her extraordinary talent can be found here: www.yogikids.co.nz. I have a 6 year old daughter who is my biggest inspiration. Thank you for visiting and please feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries or feedback. I am beyond excited to be able to support our tamariki in this way and look forward to becoming established in the local community. A website is in development - watch this space!

💰Dollars and Sense 💰

Are you feeling the financial squeeze?

Something I’m hearing a lot from parents right now is that they’d love for their child to participate in Free to Be (the online empowerment program for girls 9-14 years), but financially it is too much of a stretch.

I so get it.

Here’s a candid korero about money and my compromise for families, that I really hope will help to ease the stress in Term 4.

(Got a bit teary in this one 😭)

🌳 Real Simple Pleasures 🌳

Three glorious days offline with my daughter, swimming, reading, shinny dipping, forest bathing, befriending the local avifauna, dusting off our tennis racquets, and - the highlight - trying a new outdoor activity together… mountain biking! That dipper got the adrenaline pumping… 😂 🚵‍♀️ 🌲

Everywhere we went we kept seeing lucky angel numbers 777.… confirmation that slowing down, going with the flow and being present in nature was just the ticket these school holidays.💫

Q&A: How do I support within the groups that I run?

Hey guys! I had this great question from a member of the public the other day, and thought it was worth making a short video to share my position on this subject… because if one person’s asking, there are bound to be others wondering too.

To date I have been privileged to support children with ADHD, ASD (Autism) and dyslexia.

If you are interested in Free to Be, the new online empowerment group I am running for girls 9-14 years, I have put the relevant links in the comments below, where you can find all the information you need. 🙏

I hope this helps to shed more light on how I work.

With love, courage and compassion,

Day 30: We Did It! 🙌💪🤸

It’s the final day of Youthline’s Walk the Talk. Today’s hikoi took place at home on the farm! So many little wonders at every turn. 🐑 🐥 🌺 🌳

$414 and some valuable awareness raised. 💡

Thank you for your support and contributions over the past month community. The world is a better place with you in it ⭐️

P.s. please enjoy the authentic and natural soundtrack of rural NZ 😂

Further to my video yesterday about Facebook's ruthless targeting of girls who delete selfies, the book to track down (that they want banned) is "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams, an ex Facebook employee. "Anyone who is on the internet in the 21st century needs to read this book."

The algorithm does WHAT? 🙀

Genuine question for women and men: have you ever posted a photo of yourself on social media then deleted it because it didn’t receive “enough” likes or comments?

I thought I was pretty well versed on the impacts of social media on wellbeing. The other day I learned something new about the algorithms that actually horrifies me (shared in video).

But awareness is power, and when we bring light to what is causing harm, and empower rangatahi with this knowledge, we can rewrite the story.

At The Brave Space I help girls age 8-14 years recognise their innate worth, and build the confidence and resilience to navigate the challenges of growing up in today’s rapidly changing world.

P.S. I urge you to get hold of the book "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams who used to work for Facebook, to learn more about this particular horror and other ploys by the social media machine to prey on the vulnerabilities of youth.

Also, Day 29 of Walking the Talk! What a rewarding journey this has turned out to be 🙌💪🙏

Getting through another drop in medication while simultaneously facilitating my first ever online empowerment group for girls calls for a celebration. This celebration took the form of a night out in the big smoke of Mount Maunganui DANCING up a storm with the Ecstatic Dance Collective - woohooo. 💃 🤸‍♀️ 💫 🌈 This is a big deal for me, because I live rural in eBoP and have been doing lots of hermit-ing (cocooning) lately! 😂

After many years of trying to find a dance genre that resonates with me, ecstatic dance feels like HOME. There are no rules - only freeform, intuitive movements that bring you back into the body… that keeper of wisdom and truth. Like nature and yoga, dance is a form of medicine in my kete - supporting me on all the levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual). It brings me joy and a feeling of connection with myself and the world around me… and I share this unstructured, intuitive dance approach with the young ones I teach, to help (re)connect tweens and teens with their body’s wisdom.

What is your medicine?
