Kia ora! I am the heart and soul behind Restorative Relationships, where I weave together a tapestry of diverse and innovative approaches to nurture restorative connections. In my Kite I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Counselling, an American certificate in horticulture therapy, and a transformative 94-hour Professional Ecotherapy Program, I have also journeyed through the Four Directions training with the inspiring Dave Talamo from Wilderness Reflections in California.
In 2009, I embarked on a life-changing adventure through the North American year-long Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Leadership Programme. This journey ignited my passion for extensive training in conflict resolution and restorative circles.
I have trained in Hakomi for couples and mindfulness somatic approaches to trauma. In 2017, I deepened my cultural connection by completing the year-long Te Reo Māori Level Two course at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
