Hey everyone! Welcome to my page. :)
This page was originally made so I can help and support you on your Health and Fitness journey, what ever it may be. After two years having this page open, I have taken a different course. I have worked in the gym industry for many years now. I have specialised in Group Fitness, and been a New Zealand Group Fitness Master trainer. I have trained many clients, trained Group Fitness trainers from both New Zealand and Australia, presented in both New Zealand and Australia, owned my own gym and I am a HUGE fan of the health and fitness world. I was lucky enough to train under one of THE most amazing ladies in the Fitness Industry, Ruth Pirihi. Ruth pushed me beyond limits I never knew were there, and she believed in me when I didn’t. “Sink or swim” was her motto, and she always chucked me in the deep end, and lucky enough, I found myself swimming each time. I am grateful to her for helping shape me into the person I am today. Also Joanne Melbourne, another lady who is known in the corporate world of fitness who has always supported me and has rated the work I do. Thank you. I decided I wanted to offer more to my clients, as I believed they could benefit from so much more than just physical training, if only THEY knew what that was. For years I thought that to look after myself meant that I need to like what I see in the mirror, I thought to be happy started from the outside in. My son was born in 2002, a couple years later I began my journey in learning about waka, and the kaupapa and tikanga behind it. I surrounded myself with many amazing people who taught me so much about who I really was, one man in particular, who sadly passed away early 2016, which he never did know what a huge role he played in my journey moving forward. Thank you Potaka x

Then after my partner passed away, my babys father, in 2009, my journey took another turn in direction, and I learned so much more AGAIN about myself, and things became clear on changes I needed to make, and to do this, I had to start "From The Inside Out"
I set out to seek guidance and support from those on more of a spiritual path, and higher knowledge or experience in the path I wanted to take. Jackie Campbell taught me to embrace my spiritual intuition that I always knew was there, however, chose to ignore it. Julia Pura-Mackenzie who introduced me to finding my “WHY” and the law of attraction. And last, but not least Lynda Watson, who was an amazing support person with her amazing knowledge and understanding. All of these people taught me so much, and helped me find my true happiness and helped me to become the person I am today. Using what I had learned from my experiences and all these people, I have created some amazing programs. The results have been life changing for many...literally. No matter where you are in life right now, there is always a way. With the right guidance, focus and support, I can help you take control of your journey, “Helping to find the true YOU From The Inside Out”
Everyone has a dream, and the only person who can make it reality is YOU! "Make a wish, Take a chance, Make a Change, Opportunities are like bubbles, if we don't pop them, they will just float by"

"Life gets heavy, and it gets hard to walk, like being stuck in the mud, but when you put on gumboots, you can walk through the mud a bit easier" - Gumboot Friday 🖤

Today, one of my youth girls gave Artis and myself these bracelets she made for us. 🙏🏽🫶🏽

To gain the trust of these kids means the world to me.
I am so grateful to be able to provide them with a safe space to talk and offer tools to help build their self-confidence and self-worth.
As we know, life can really suck at times, and for these young minds trying to figure life out, it can be frikn tough.

Normalizing conversations about mental health, it encourages open conversations, making it easier for people to speak up without fear of judgment.

Mental health affects all ages, genders, ethnicities, and social backgrounds. They can be mild or severe.

We all need to be aware of our mental health. It gives you the ability to feel well, think rationally, and be able to relate to others.

Breaking solo mama stereotypes... It's just what I do ✌🏽🫶🏽

7 years ago, I was told "No" by over 10 different people that I couldn't get a mortgage.

Told I have to accept that I "can't buy my home", the home we had lived in for the past 7 years.

I was told that as a solo parent and a single income household, it will be "too hard."

I was told to get a "safe job" that self-employment is high risk and not a guaranteed income.
(A year and a half later, Covid hit, and thousands lost their "safe jobs."

I was told that with no real credit rating I needed to start buying things (I don't need) put it on credit, (don't pay for it out right) to build me a credit rating 👀🙄

And seven years ago, despite everyone saying I can't...

I DID! 👊🏽

Not only did I buy my home, I've been able to change it up bit by bit every year. As a solo mama, self-employed, with no extra unnecessary debt.

Just because others can't see how it can be done doesn't mean that it's unachievable. It's hard, BUT, achievable.

The only person who needs to believe in you is YOURSELF. But you need to have the courage and the dedication to stay focused on the final outcome, and don't let anyone tell you you can't! xx

25-10-22 🧩🫶🏽 3 years doing life with my mini human by my side. My favourite plot twist. The piece to my puzzle I didn't know was missing.

My baby girl ~ Never stop asking questions, learning, and being the strong and confident mini human you are.

I'll always lead by example and guide you as best I can to live a life with purpose, being the best version of you!
But my hope is you grow to be ten times more than the woman I am.

Never stop enjoying the simple things in life. Always make time for adventures and fun. And don't ever let anyone take your power.

I got you as long as I'm beside you. Love you to Pluto and back. xx

And that's a wrap 🎬 Another successful retreat here on our beautiful Island of Rarotonga 🌴🫶🏽 with a mixture of women from both New Zealand and Raro.

Thank you ladies, for trusting me to be a part of your journey. For keeping an open mind to change and learn new tools to help you continue to move forward and to create a life you can truly love, and not need to "escape" from.

Remember, life should be lived with joy and on purpose each day. To be mindful starts within and acknowledging who you are as an individual first and foremost. You can't be truly mindful if the chaos is still stirring inside you.

Understand yourself, your foundation, and what makes you truly you. To be selfless, you need to be selfish and prioritize your happiness first so thar you can be the best version of yourself for those around you who matter.

When you find your power, don't let anyone take it away. x

Respect yourself first, and the game changes 💯

When you earn self-respect, it builds true self-confidence and motivation. It helps you to create healthy boundaries and positive relationships with those around you.

It forms the foundation for mental health, building resilience, healthy self-esteem, and emotional stability.

Most importantly, self-respect allows you to experience true inner peace, happiness, and a meaningful life by prioritizing your own worth and well-being. 🫶🏽💜

It's been a week. Not only for me, but for my mini human 🙏🏽
Something I've noticed since Artis was born is how kids are expected to "be ok" to adjust and follow adults through their chaos.

Kids get tired, moan, cry, play up, and are then labeled naughty, told to be quiet, and told they've misbehaved. Because ADULTS expect the child to "be ok" and just "go with it."

I've had many, the past two years, comment on how good Artis is, how she just "fits into my life" and rolls with my life chaos.

Firstly, I'm grateful to be in a position to balance all 7 life aspects with my mini in tow. So that helps. 🙏🏽

Second, I prioritize myself and my happiness. As a result, it means I'm in a more content space to be able to make better decisions and not move to please others. I move for me and mine. 🫡

Over the past week, we have done ALOT of people-ing. We've been around a lot of different energies and emotions. We've traveled back and forth to Hawkes Bay a couple of times. Juggled work. Swimming lessons. Dance. Dancing again. Some "late nights" for Artis, who is normally asleep by 6.30pm, and all the in betweens. 🫠

To help keep her happy, I've still prioritized stopping with purpose. I made time to dance and sing with her. We didn't stay at the marae, but with my Aunty and Uncle, so she could reset and have down time in the quiet.
I kept to her diet as best as possible. (Diet plays a huge part. But that's a whole other post 🙄)

The thing is. Artis doesn't just fit into my life. I've created a lifestyle that works for us both.

Kids shouldn't be expected to just "go with the flow." They're little humans who still have emotions, feelings, energy levels that peak, and that drain to empty.
Some kids are social. Some aren't.
Some, like us, depends on their environment and those around them.
And because they're only children, its up to US to be their comfort space, and to make sure they're heard.

I'm always so proud of the way my girl soldiers through her little life. She's the frikn man. Don't get me wrong, she's 2, so of course, she has her little moments, but overall, she's the coolest little sidekick I never would have asked for. 🧩🫶🏽
