Embrace Your Calm

10/12/2025

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with the MUMS Group at the Rangiora Health Hub. And something amazing happened!!

It was a privilege to spend some time with these mamas and their beautiful bubs, teaching breathing techniques & gentle movement to help bring a little more emotional balance as we step into this busy time of the year, and what is going to be the first Christmas as a mum for most wahine in the group … life is very different from this time last year!

So what happened that was so amazing??
I didn’t know it was amazing until Megan pointed out that it wasn’t the norm … within a few minutes of settling into the practice, all, yes ALL!! of the babies went quiet … no more crying, wriggling, squirming! Just 12 content, calm, quiet bubbas looking up at their mamas 💕

How magical is that … emotionally regulated mums = emotionally regulated babies!! I know it’s not really breaking news, deep down we all know it, but to see it in action was so powerful and so darn beautiful to witness

I love this mahi and every single moment like this makes it even more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. So much gratitude for the opportunity and to Megan Waddington for facilitating this beautiful container

The MUMS Group is on Fridays at 10.30am at the Rangiora Health Hub 💛

This coming weekend is Red Tent North Canterbury's last Radical Self-Care circle of the year! What better time for nourishing our soul, pampering our body, and to find your inner balance before we get right into the busy season.

Are you joining us on this journey of truly caring for yourself?

Radical self-care is about being present in your own care ‒ being intentional in how you care for and nurture yourself.

The level of care we give ourselves affects us not just physically but is also felt in our emotional, mental and energetic body. Perhaps for you this involves healing your heart and soul and repairing your body in order to keep going. Perhaps it’s adding a little more sparkle to your crown

This is a space to support and be supported, to be nurtured, to connect and to be your whole self. When was the last time you intentionally took care of you?

🌹 What will we do there:

Each gathering offers space to slow down and reconnect—with yourself, your community, and the wisdom we share as women. Come to enjoy laughter, love, support, and deep conversation among like-minded friends. You may feel called to share openly or prefer to simply soak in the sanctuary of the space, you are welcomed exactly as you are.

Whether you’re looking for connection, to share knowledge or find sanctuary, this is your invitation. Red Tent is a living, evolving community of women supporting women. It’s about connection, healing and the simple but powerful act of showing up – together and for each other.

As we explore a whole new level of self-care, there will be the invitation to take part in breathwork, meditation and yoga. The focus is on nurturing not just our mental health and wellbeing, but also our physical body – a deep nourishing of the magnificent human that is you ❤️

On Sunday 19th October join us in this month's Red Tent North Canterbury circle as we look into “The Healing Power of Water”

💧 We all know how essential water is in our everyday lives. It hydrates, cleanses and cleans, it nourishes the earth – but did you know that it can heal too? And it isn’t a new idea either ... for centuries, cultures around the world have recognised water’s ability to restore balance, soothe the mind, and rejuvenate the body.

💧 Mentally and emotionally? We are inexplicably drawn to water, finding comfort and peace when we’re near it. Whether it’s the calming heat of a hot bath, the soothing rhythm of the waves, or the mesmerizing beauty of a waterfall, being around water often brings a sense of tranquility and balance that helps us reset and recharge. How do you feel when you’re by the sea or listening to the rain?

💧 Water is one of the most abundant resources on earth. It is essential to all life, keeping everything around us alive, including ourselves. On a deeper level, Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto, along with New Zealand’s own Veda Austin, are now being recognised for their studies of how human consciousness can influence the molecular structure of water. With our bodies being made up of almost 70% water, how much effect do our thoughts and feelings have a direct effect on our bodies?

💦 What if we were able to harness the healing power of water even further?
