Joyful - Deeply Passionate - Highly Sensitive - Intuitive - Creative

I am an accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist and Coach, business owner and researcher, with a calling to work in holistic therapies that began as a teenager.

My mum, Christine, was a highly sensitive empath, who was community focused, with an interest in holistic therapies and writing children’s stories. One of the most important gifts I feel mum gave to me, was that she could really see people, sense who they are, and was deeply interested in others. It is how she made people feel, using this ability, that sparked my awareness of the positive influence harnessing this gift can offer others.

I moved to Australia in my early 20’s and became immersed in nature, many wonderful diverse ways of living, the joy of learning and conversations, natural therapies, and connection to the land and others; through a lifestyle of permaculture and community living.

I had the privilege of exploring and submerging myself in many opportunities for learning and growth. I started working at The Fountainhead Retreat as a body work therapist and this lead to training and work as a Journey Therapist, along with managing the treatment spa. I was introduced to holistic hypnotherapy on a personal level and experienced the power of hypnotherapy as a tool for healing and growth. This motivated me to study integrative hypnotherapy in Brisbane before returning to New Zealand.

Upon relocating back to Nelson, I began working in the outdoors managing a guiding company, where I rediscovered the powerful medium for people to connect with themselves and others, through being present in, and connected to, nature. My guiding experiences alongside my work in holistic health gave rise to the creation of Wellness New Zealand, encompassing a nurturing clinic in Nelson and wellness retreats focused on healing in nature.

Affirmed by my own journey and experiences, my unique way of looking at life, and my strong desire to creatively help people and support their growth; I continued my training in coaching and hypnotherapy and began researching and developing unique, powerful tools and methods to effectively support my clients and transform their lives.
