Māori mentor & healing practitioner for those ready to shift what’s stuck — emotionally, mentally, energetically, spiritually
Joined TKW Membership on: 27 May 2025
I’m a māmā, a nana, and a Māori healing practitioner. I work with people who are carrying too much. Stress, grief, burnout, old trauma, emotional blocks, generational heaviness. My job is to help you shift that shit so you can actually feel like yourself again. No fake positivity. No pretending you're fine when you're not. I offer solid, grounded support that meets you where you're at.
I use energy healing, breathwork, nervous system tools, mindfulness and deep kōrero to move perceived stuck stuff through the body and wairua. Sometimes it’s gentle. Sometimes it’s confronting. Either way, it’s real. I don’t believe people are broken so there is no need to fix. I believe in creating supported space for you to remember who you are underneath all the noise and haze of hard life stuff.
I’m known for keeping it real. No fluff. I don't mince words. Honest healing, big heart and the odd f-bomb if that’s what the moment calls for. If you’re ready to unpack, reset and breathe again, I’ve got you.
My experience
My path into this mahi didn’t come from a textbook. It came from lived experience and whakapapa. I’ve been the one holding everything together, running on fumes, wondering what the hell was wrong with me when I felt disconnected and burnt out. What I know now is that nothing was wrong with me. I just needed space to release what I’d been carrying and return to myself.
My mahi
I now work as a Māori healing practitioner and mindful mentor, supporting people through emotional stress, overwhelm, trauma, grief and spiritual disconnection. I offer one-on-one energy healing sessions, mentoring packages, breathwork, and deep kōrero for those ready to shift what’s stuck. I also facilitate wānanga, workshops and group spaces for people wanting to reconnect with their fire, get grounded again and feel steady in their own skin.
I’m a trained practitioner in Te Rau Aroha Alignment and the Inherited Release Method (IRM), and I also draw on mindfulness, meditation nervous system support and trauma-informed approaches. I’m an approved ACC vendor for rongoā Māori. Whether you’re coming in person or online, I bring the same thing every time — honest space, real tools and support that meets you where you’re at.
