‘I was born & raised in the Coromandel and lived in Kennedy Bay, Thames & Tairua. My father’s roots are Ngati Porou, Nga puhi & Tainui and I come home many times a year to Te Moata, as a student & a teacher.
I love learning & sharing. For 30 years I have been immersed in teaching, coaching & mentoring. The underlying purpose has always been to meet opportunities & challenges with greater ease, openness, compassion & wisdom: This speaks to the heart of meditation & well-being practices.
I have a formal teaching degree and a wide range of accreditations in meditation, well-being & yogic traditions. I teach & practise mindful yoga & meditation in beautiful S p a c e Studio. I also find joy guiding retreats, teacher trainings & workshops. I have been deeply inspired by many remarkable teachers & I’ve studied & retreated across the world with them: Sarah Powers, Dr Rick Hanson, Bhikkhu Analayo, Dr Deepak Chopra, Sayadaw U Tejaniya, Joseph Goldstein, Martine Batchelor.’
