Heartspace

Heartspace Heartspace is a page where I share what moves me in daily life. I have a wide varity of interests: y I am an essential oil educator.

Heartspace Wellness Solutions has been created by Silke Whittaker, a yoga teacher, sound healer, reiki master, essential oil educator, artist, mama, wife and explorer of the inside and outside world. I used to own a yoga studio in Hastings, New Zealand and loved to share the practice of yoga, sound healing and aromatherapy on a regular basis with my clients. After a sabbatical with my family overseas for 2 years I currently offer one off yoga & sound healing group sessions around Hawke's Bay when time allows. I also love working one on one with clients either for sound healing & reiki sessions or to customise a yoga practice just for you. I am passionate about using doTerra essential oils and love to teach how they can be used to improve your health and home care with these pure gifts from mother nature. doTERRA's sourcing practices and quality are impeccable, which is why I have been working with them for around 6 years now. I am happy to customise one on one sessions, group sessions or make custom blends for clients. You can learn more about Heartspace Yoga & Heartspace Essentials on heartspace.nz. If you have any questions you can contact me on silke@heartspace.nz. I am looking forward to connecting with you.

Last week I felt such a strong graving for my yarnbasket. The colours, the textures, the simplicity of doing one stitch after another, creating someting with my own 2 hands with a natural fibre.

I lack time and headspace for big projects these days, but even making a facecloth is therapeutic. Topped up with a free listening book from my library app.

Retreating from the world, resting, restoring.

It amazes me how I seem to be drawn to different things at different times.

I am so grateful for all the different things I discovered that are nourishing and restful.

What is it for you right now?

04/04/2026

I am so happy to be able to relocate my 1:1 sessions back to my home in Haumoana. There is something special about having a home studio. I had my first session today in this space and it felt just right.

I offer a variety of sessions from here and they can be combined or chosen to suit your needs. My prices will still be $88 for 1 hour and $122 for 1.5 hours in April . I haven't changed my prices for the past 4 years and will have a slight increase in May. So April is your last chance to book at session at these prices.

My 1:1 session times are up on my website heartspace.nz under my services. Message me to book your session.

Reiki, Sound Healing & Aromatherapy (1 hour or 1.5 hours / 1.5 hours recommended especially for new clients)

This session is a combination of Sound Healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls, Aromatherapy with intuitively chosen oils throughout the session and beautiful balancing, nourishing and cleansing Reiki Energy. This session is like an energetic shower and recharge for your body and is a beautiful way to be held, nourished and give your body a chance to rest and restore.

Brainspotting, Reiki, Sound Healing & Aromatherapy 1.5 hours

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused, brain-body therapy that helps clients process and release emotional distress and trauma by using specific eye positions (brain spots) that correlate with where these experiences are stored in the deep, non-verbal parts of the brain. I have experienced both Brain Spotting and EMDR in my own therapy with great success, which is why I am so excited to be able to offer this now myself. The Reiki, Sound Healing & Aromatherapy following a Brainspotting session can be a beautiful integration time.

Yoga 1:1 sessions 1 or 1.5 hours

I offer 1:1 yoga sessions for people who don't feel confident or comfortable to join group classes or people who might be recovering from an illness or injury. We can explore what stretches and movements feel safe and supportive for you.

Personalised Aromatherapy blends

$35 for a 10 ml bottle, $25 for a 5 ml bottle.

I look forward to holding space for you again in Haumoana.

Our Story

Heartspace has been created by Silke Whittaker, a yoga teacher, sound healer, reiki master & essential oil educator, mama, wife, truthteller and explorer of the inside and outside world. I used to own a yoga studio in Hastings, New Zealand and loved to share the practice of yoga, soundhealing and aromatherapy on a regular basis with my clients. Now a new adventure is calling, living on a sailboat with my husband, 2 children and our dog and getting back to basics. I will share my insights and adventures with you and yoga, sound healing, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation will still be a big part of my life. I am looking forward to really immersing myself in my own practice, reading, digesting and internalising my insights, writing more, drawing more, spending more time looking into my childrens and husbands eyes and being present for myself and my family. I am also an essential oil educator. I am passionate about my doTerra oils and love to teach how they can be used to improve your home, health and body care with these gifts from nature. I am still sharing the oils from our boat and educate my clients how to use them safely and efficiently, either online or personally if we cross paths. You can learn more about Heartspace & Heartspace Essentials on heartspace.nz. If you are interested in learning about doTerra essential oils, feel free to contact me or you can go directly to https://www.mydoterra.com/silkewhittaker/#/ if you already know you would like to purchase some. If you click on "shop" you can purchase the oils at retail price. If you click on "join & safe" and choose wholesale customer you get 25% off all products and it is only a one off small joining fee. If you have any questions you can contact me on silke@heartspace.nz. I am looking forward to connecting with you.
