🌿 Natural Health & Home Workshop 🌿

For those who know me, you might not know that I’ve been using dōTERRA oils and wellness products for over 7 years. IYKYK!! 🥰 there’s an oil for everything!!

While I’ve spent the last few years focused on building Aunty Lizzie’s Respite, one thing that hasn’t changed is my daily use of these products.

💛 My Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV) is a non-negotiable. I genuinely believe it plays a huge role in helping me maintain my energy, support my wellbeing, and keep up with the busy life I love.

🧒 As for the children and young people who spend time with us, oils are often one of the first things I reach for to help support emotions, transitions, calm moments, and bedtime routines.

🤗I’m passionate about sharing simple, natural tools that can support you and your whānau in everyday life.

If you’ve ever been curious about essential oils, natural wellness, reducing toxins in your home, or learning how to support your family’s health naturally, we’d love to see you there.

📅 Sunday 21st June

The Adventures of May with Aunty Lizzie 💛

Every month brings so much joy as we share everyday life with each and every one of the children and young people who come and stay with us. That’s one of the things I love most about Aunty Lizzie’s Respite — you never quite know what the day will bring.

Some days are quiet and relaxed, other days we’re running errands, exploring the farm, getting out in the community, or packing our bags and heading off on an adventure!

This month saw us enjoying duck shooting weekend on the farm, motorbike rides, a Spirit of Adventure voyage, Pink Shirt Day, sunny farm walks, plenty of downtime, a road trip from Auckland to Wellington, staying on the marae, connecting with other whānau, and learning along the way.

Over the years, I’ve learned that respite means something different to every family. For some it’s a chance to catch up on sleep, for others it’s time to focus on siblings, work, relationships, appointments, or simply to take a moment to recharge.

“Respite is more than a break — it’s the space for families and caregivers to refill their cup, knowing their loved one is safe, valued, included, and having adventures of their own.” ✨💛

Hope you all have a beautiful Mothers Day 💐

🤗April - honestly where do you go!! 💨

Was Busy with school holidays, so the house is always buzzing, lucky it was Easter so we had an excuse to eat Chocolate 🍫 then we got to celebrate our Lala turning 15 with a party which included Cake 🎂 of course cooking with Wizzy the TM7 is always a hit, boys got creative decorating biscuits 🍪 time to chill, lunch out, motor bike rides with Craig and sooooo much more!

And that’s just a glimpse… so many more little moments, outings, and memories made along the way.

Grateful for every single one 💫

Love my Spirit of Adventure Trust adventures! 🥰

The response to Aunty Lizzie’s Reset Day has honestly blown me away 💛

So many messages from mums and caregivers saying they’re exhausted… overwhelmed… and just needing a break 🥰.

And I get it.

Because when you’re always the strong one, the patient one, the one holding everything together…

when do YOU get held?

This is why I’m creating Aunty Lizzie’s Retreat - your own Reset Day.🤗

Not something fancy or overwhelming just a space where you can come as you are, be understood, and leave feeling a little lighter.

I’ll be sharing the details for the first one very soon 💛

You’re the safe place for everyone else…
Aunty Lizzie’s Reset Day is a safe place for you!! X

(It will be small and intimate, so if you’ve messaged me already, you’ll get first access)

I’ve been thinking about this for a while…

What if there was a space just for caregivers, mums, aunties… the ones who are always “on”…

A place where you could actually take a breath, feel understood, eat good food, and not have to explain your life to anyone.

I’m looking at creating small, affordable “Aunty Lizzie’s Retreat” days, nothing fancy, just real support, connection, and a chance to reset.

If this sounds like something you’d need (or even just wish you had), comment below or send me a message 💛

I’d love your thoughts before I bring this to life.
