STRIVE TO THRIVE

29/10/2019

At strive our main focus has never been exercise. Our focus has always been around holding space for women to explore who they are, for women to feel supported and part of a collective. For children to watch their mothers fill their own cups and engage in positive relationships and positive habits to improve the lifestyle of their entire family. Exercise, fitness & clarity of the mind is a major bonus!

Our space is a family space, we respect everyone who walks through our doors including our children. We love and appreciate and show respect to the space and the people whome fill it with so much joy!

Exercise is an incredible tool! The lifestyle we encourage through exercise, healthy eating habits and forming a connection with our authentic selves is all about the bigger picture! We all want to live a purpose driven life but what that means to you individually is different for everyone? Things change often, what was important to you yesterday may not be a priority today but if we set our core values and live by them, changes & challenges will be easy to overcome.

What is one core value you live by everyday?

Ft some incredible wahine & the next generation of children who grew up with the dopest māmā out here filling her cup, breaking those cycles & showing her babies anything is possible🥰😍

This mahi is absolutely incredible!!! Our men deserve to heal! Our babies deserve a healed father! Our wives deserve a healed husband. Our men deserve their freedom!!

I love this kaupapa, the mahi this man and his wife put in for their community. This mahi sets my soul of fire🔥🔥🔥😍😭

The prison system has directly impacted me since I first visited my Father inside with my Mother as a young child, with one of my siblings later doing time inside also. Over the years, way too many of the guys from my neighbourhood have gone down the path of becoming incarcerated.

The sad truth is that too many of our brothers doing time inside are victims of abuse themselves, scarred and severely traumatised from the childhoods they have somehow survived and have been coping however they can.

No I’m not saying that it’s ever acceptable to commit crimes BUT it’s certainly understandable that they make some of these choices, given some of the horrific stories I have heard first hand. The reality is we are locking up victims who have never learnt adequately how to heal from the pain they are in. And so the cycle continues because HURT PEOPLE will always HURT PEOPLE.

When I had the opportunity this year to partner with Pathway Charitable Group and Corrections NZ to implement a pilot barbering program inside Christchurch Men’s Prison, I knew immediately that this was an opportunity to work inside with men who are close to my heart.

Just like hurt people hurt people... I believe that HEALED PEOPLE, HEAL PEOPLE so here’s to learning fades, cuts, techniques + how to heal together.

Kia Ora to my very first barbering school whānau! May the teacher always be a student who ‘seeks to understand, rather than be understood.”

“KO TĀKU, HE WHAKAPIKI AKE”
“Our purpose is to heal”

When I came to this realisation it changed my life in every possible way!

🎀Update on the event🎀

Tickets to this event give you a full day pass to all services listed below😍 how epic is that!

Each organization is offering their unique experiences to raise awareness and funds for an organization that looks after many of our sisters each day!

As most of you know one of our wahine was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has been fighting with strength and resilience for a few months. We are so proud of her and we wanted to make some noise for her! She chose this organisation for the event because they have helped her and will continue to help her through many of the obstacles you're faced with when you are diagnosed with breast cancer.
