Manaaki Whānau wouldn't this be Awesome! E-Bike! I thought this was genuine, sadly NOT, it went to gambling sites, and of course, they wanted all my personal details, so sorry friends!

From darkness to light: healing is possible here.

Sometimes, the first step is the hardest. One client arrived at Manaaki Wellbeing after years of living with trauma—struggling to sleep, feeling disconnected, unsure if true healing was even possible. Over the weeks, gentle rongoā Māori sessions helped them find calm, restore trust in their own body, and reconnect with hope.

Now, they’re sleeping, laughing, and looking forward again. Their journey inspires us every day. If you or someone you care about is ready for change, reach out—ACC-sensitive claims and private bookings welcome. Healing starts with a single step. 🦋

As we head into the weekend, take a moment to appreciate the healing power of nature around us. This beautiful kawakawa reminds us that healing comes in many forms - sometimes it's the gentle touch of traditional rongoā, sometimes it's simply taking time to breathe and be present.

We hope you have a fabulous weekend filled with rest, connection, and moments of peace.

Kia Ora, Manaaki Whānau, Now we are in the first days of Spring 🌷

Do you need to reset your health?

My favourite treatment is the BioPulse Ionic Detox perfect for a reset

The picture shows how the water looks after the treatment is finished 😉

How the Bio-pulse works:

The Bio Pulse foot spa sends a gentle electric current through water and sea salt to create a positive + negative ionic charge.

This charge stimulates your body's natural detox process, pulling waste, heavy metals, and impurities through the feet. 👣

The result?
Water that changes colour (yep, really) depending on what’s being released. And a body that feels lighter, calmer, clearer.

Benefits May Include:

✔️ Detoxification + Resilient immune system
✔️ Rejuvenation at a cellular level
✔️ Reduced inflammation in joints
✔️ Improved sleep + energy
✔️ Pain relief + excess candida
✔️ Stress Reduction, Headache or sinus relief
✔️ Better digestion + gut support
✔️ Overall sense of lightness + wellbeing

In just 30 minutes, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded — a natural reset for your whole being.

$65 — 30 min solo session, or for an extra $35 add-on massage — extend your treatment to 60 minutes for a total health reset

Kia Ora Whānau, you might of noticed we have not been on our socials we have been a tad bit flat out!

Back in stock Te Ao Whetu Mārama Mana Ora 1L $65 500ml $35 Depending on how compromised your Tinana/BODY is.

I will recommend 30ml to 90ml per day like taking a shot first thing in the morning always take 20-30mins before your medication from your Doctor!

I like to check in with you via text to make sure you’re doing okay 👌 and of course when you come into the clinic!

Tired of running on empty?

Doing everything for everyone (except yourself).

Carrying the weight of the world?

The solution is not to keep pushing through, but to create space for yourself where you can flourish.

This is the final callout before we begin the last round of Flourish before spring.

The intention of Flourish is:

21 Days of support.
One Gentle Action a Day.
Real Change.

Allison + I will show you how to Flourish from the inside out.

With simple tools that don’t add more to your plate,
and real support that creates lasting transformation.

We begin Thursday, June 26.
3 live calls.
A private group for guidance and accountability

One reason I see women struggle to prioritise self-care is because they’re looking at it backwards. Most women know they should prioritise it, but are often so depleted, it's hard to start.

That’s because they’re looking at is as something to do to recover from life, when it’s actually something to do to create a life you don’t need to recover from.

Does this sound like you?

> You are always on the go, with lots to do, yet very little time for you.
> You might treat self-care like a reward for making it through another hectic week.
> Self-care is something you squeeze in when you can, only after everyone else is taken care of.
> You’re ready for this to change, because you know you can’t keep doing things this way - maybe you’re tired, impatient with loved ones and just feel like you don’t have much more to give.

The women who are flourishing in life know this:
Self-care is tending to your whole self, first.

>> Your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual zones need attention, before your burnout - so you can show up fully in your life.

>> Your physical space needs care - when your body and environment feel good, it’s easier to show up as your best self.

>> Your mind needs space to reflect and reset.

>> Your heart needs connection and compassion.

>> Your spirit needs meaning, joy, and a sense of purpose

Yet we’re rarely taught how to care for ourselves this fully. As we age, our needs shift and there’s a whole new learning curve to consider.

That’s why Allison & I created Flourish: A 21-day journey to help you create self-care habits that stick. We begin June 26.

Over our 21 days together in Flourish, you’ll get to:
> Rebuild your energy
> Reconnect with yourself
> Prioritise yourself, without the guilt

And you’ll get the support from both Allison & I, as well as a group of wonderful women who are looking to make changes in their lives too.

Ready to do self-care differently and create a life where you Flourish?

Sign up for Flourish now.
Early bird pricing ends tomorrow - this is your last chance to sign up at the rate of $56.35 before it rises to $111 + GST on June 20.

You'll be amazed at the difference just one gentle action a day can make in how you show up for yourself and for those around you.

That's what we'll be doing in our next round of Flourish, that begins June 26th.

Why did Allison and I choose self-care?

We both work with women in coaching, and we know it is so difficult for women to put themselves first.

The problem with that is when we don’t take care of our own needs, what occurs is overwhelm, tiredness, and our thinking gets out of control, which creates anxiety.

This isn’t an issue just for New Zealand women; this is common around the world and we want to help change that.

>>> FLOURISH in 2025
21 Days. One Gentle Action a Day. Real Change.

Feeling burnt out or lost in the noise?

It’s time to put you first, with self-care that actually sticks.

Join Allison and I for a 3-week online journey to reconnect with your body, calm your mind, and nourish your spirit.

> Simple tools
> Real support
> Lasting transformation

The cost is currently $56.35 to join (GST included), but is going up to $111 +GST on June 20.

This looks pretty special 🩷💜💛💙🧡

I am off to Bali for the Conference of the International Light Association - so looking forward to re-connecting with many colleagues, making some new friends in the field, and getting some sun and TLC while being there
