My Story
I am dedicated to helping you navigate change, break free from self-limiting thoughts and behaviours, and achieve your personal and professional development goals.
My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioural, evidence-based, holistic, and solution-focused methods. I integrate principles from positive and coaching psychology, with a special focus on resilience-building, self-compassion, accountability, leadership, and assertiveness.
It is my core belief that at the end of the day, we are our own best friend and loving advisor; we are resourceful spirits living a human experience!
Personal Life Experiences
When the Kaupapa is right, everything else falls into alignment! In late 2010, I was approached by the Kumeu Country and Business Association to help bring the 2011 Rugby World Cup festivities, Best of the West, to life in Kumeu. With a desire to create something truly special, I proposed the idea of a mock-up Māori village—a vibrant space where both international and local visitors could enjoy themselves in Māori culture. I envisioned a dedicated hall transformed with a pop-up Whare, lush native plantings, Māori food stalls, dance performances from children of local primary schools, and interactive games and competitions. From the start, I knew this vision would take a collective effort—there was no way I could do it alone. My first step was reaching out to my Ngāti Whātua whānau for guidance and support. While they were open to the idea, there was initial hesitation, and with no funding or grants, the challenge felt really daunting at times. There were moments when I doubted we could pull it off. But with nothing to lose, I turned to the local businesses, sharing our kaupapa—a vision of a Māori village built not with money, but with heart, generosity, and community spirit. What happened next was nothing short of incredible. Not once did I hear, No, sorry, we can’t help. I never had to ask twice. This was one of the most heartwarming community projects I have ever been a part of. It was a true testament to the power of people coming together — diverse backgrounds, shared laughter, and a genuine willingness to create something meaningful. This is my story about community, the spirit of giving, and the magic that happens when we unite for a common cause.
