Biographical Info
I am passionate about supporting people to return to wholeness, through healing wounds, reconnecting with their inner wisdom, and living with greater clarity, meaning and purpose. I am a mother, practicing artist, and I have been working in the field of holistic wellbeing since 2012. I offer a range of natural, integrative and holistic approaches to support emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
My services include:
- Esoteric Hypnosis: A soul-centred approach that integrates elements of hypnosis with traditional shamanic healing. Sessions include soul retrieval work, supporting clients in processing trauma, including childhood experiences. This modality can be helpful for those experiencing anxiety, depression, and PTSD, particularly when seeking a spiritually-oriented approach to healing.
- Spiritual Counselling and Care: I have over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges using a compassionate, insight-oriented approach. My training includes Psychosynthesis Counselling, and I also serve as a Buddhist chaplain, offering spiritual care, including end-of-life support. My work supports clients in developing awareness, meaning, and a deeper connection to their values and purpose.
- Flower Essence Therapy: A gentle, complementary therapy that works with plant-based essences to support emotional balance and holistic wellbeing. Flower essences are often used to assist with stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. They are vibrational medicines that influences one’s consciousness by healing distortions in the subtle energy body. Flower essences are natural, safe and have no contraindications.
- Homeobotanical Therapy: A New Zealand-developed system of plant-based remedies created by Dr Brian Murray. These preparations are designed to support the body’s natural healing processes and may be used to complement emotional and physical wellbeing. The range includes both traditional Western herbs and native plant remedies developed with guidance from Māori elders.
I offer private one-on-one sessions in my central New Plymouth practice, as well as online consultations. I also host workshops and retreats focused on self-development, creativity, and wellbeing, and offer a monthly koha-based clinic to increase accessibility.
