Phew it’s been a busy few months!!
I’m now officially a Yin Yoga teacher and trained in Reiki!! Wahoo!!

With fresh new inspiration, I’m excited to be back teaching a new class called a Restore at

Meditation has been and continues to be great foundation for me. I love being able to add these 2 other modalities to reach greater levels of recharging, finding inner stillness and REST (something I’m very passionate about 🤣🤣)

Not sure where exactly it’s all leading yet, just trusting in doing what I love 💕

Ps thanks to the huzzy for holding down the fort on many occasions so I could do these 🙏🙏

Work or Play

When you get to fill your day with what inspires you and feels good, work becomes play!

For so many years I battled in the corporate world, striving for more, pushing myself and trying to compete against my co-workers. It was addictive, to get the next HIT - the next promotion, the next accomplishment, hoping to get praised/recognised from those around me. The problem was, I relied on circumstances outside me to feel valued worthy or happy.

It has been 3 years since I really stepped out of this zone, and reclaimed ‘work’ that I love. And it is still an ongoing journey where I find my exact spot!

But today I celebrate that my work/play is sitting in a beautiful coffee shop, journaling & planning 💕💕

Who do you have to be to feel worthy? Something I am navigating at the moment as I figure out how to find my worth in the right places.

We all have strategies we employ to help us feel valued and worthy.

Relationships, careers, wealth, health, tasks, approval, praise, being busy, being funny, our identities, being good even being bad in some cases! (and so much more!) We all have our own ways to fill our self worth.

But what if a relationship fails, what if we are made redundant, what if someone doesn't get our humour - does that all of a sudden mean we are no longer worthy?

The reality is, as soon as our strategies rely on something outside of us, we fall into a trap of our worthiness being reliant on things outside of our control.

In the past I have placed my worth on being 'busy' and 'doing' Also my worth has been dependent on others - what they think of me and the feedback of my work.

As I work through the answers on how to feel worthy just because I am I remind myself , (especially in the moments I feel so much lack of worth)
✨ This to shall pass
✨ Keep up my gratitude practice
✨ As emotions arise, question where they stem from.
✨ Stay Conscious to acknowledge, investigate and release what is rising (not to get stuck in it or bottle it up)
✨ I don't need the answer right now, I Trust that this will unravel for my highest good
✨ On the other side of this growth period is beautiful unconditional self worth!

I encourage you to explore, what conditions do you put on your Self Worth - Remembering you are so Worthy just as you are x x

Rise to Shine NZ added a Shop on website button to their Page.

Give the Gift of Sanity This Xmas!!!

I think we can all agree that 2021 hasn't quite been the comeback year we were all hoping for after 2020!

And who knows what next year will bring! The only thing that we are guaranteed is the uncertain! As our external world leads us into more uncertainty, I have been working away in the background to launch my new Business! One that I know so many need right now!!

Rise to Shine is my new business designed to help people Thrive from the Inside Out. To help grow our Resilience, Clarity & Confidence so no matter what the future brings, our inner world is Strong!

It is the most ridiculous/silly time of year for me to be launching my new Business - but for some reason the cards have fallen this way! I literally am so excited after months of dedication to this project - So will just roll with it!!!

I am only opening up to friends & whanau at this time, just in case there are a few kinks that need ironing out!!

My offering at the moment is just $9.95 a month which will give you an all access pass to my meditations and Jan Intention Setting Course. Next year prices will be going up to USD. (will post website below for the full details!)

Big thanks to those who have supported my journey to bring this idea to life! With 4 kids and 3 other businesses, time has always been a challenge, so big thanks to those who have been my personal cheerleaders!

If you have any questions feel free to reach out 💕💕

Well this years def a different kind of Santa photo 🤣🤣

It’s here!!! Big day for NZ that will be remembered throughout history!!🚦And of course none of us are confused by it all!! 🤣🤣

For some it means more freedom,
For some it means less freedom

Some are rejoicing at returning to their work/business in the first time in months!

Some have lost their life’s mahi overnight

For those rejoicing- I celebrate with you 🎉

For those who are facing immense hardship and struggles - I feel you. I know it’s hard to imagine but remember even in the darkest storms, where it feels like it will never end, eventually the clouds will part to let the rays of light through 💕💕

Always here for anyone who needs to chat, unload, cry, scream or just needs a hug (is that alllowed?? 🤣🤣)

Kia Kaha my friends 💕💕

Please copy and paste to let others know you care ❤️

I can’t explain it but man it felt good to sit in my car for 10 minutes before going inside!!

A moments peace to myself over the longggggg weekend to centre, recalibrate & breathe!!

It got me thinking how Selfcare looks different to everyone.

As an introvert, time to myself in stillness, quiet & calm is EVERYTHING!!

I encourage you to think of easy daily things you can do that promote self care.

Having things to look forward to like massages or travelling are great, but they are not the things that most of us can do daily.

If you had 10 mins everyday to practice self care, how would you use it? What makes you feel great & rejuvenates your soul!!!

Meditation is a LIFE TRANSFORMING tool when you know how to use it properly.

Meditating has had a huge impact on my life, allowing me to heal from trauma, manifest my dreams, strengthen my relationships, perform to my best and overcome triggers.

Given the huge benefits I have experienced- I couldn’t be more excited to be presenting this workshop.

Be prepared to drop everything you thought you knew about meditation to see how this FREE tool can unlock your POTENTIAL

@ Papamoa

Harmony within is accepting all parts of yourself the good, the bad and the ugly!

All these parts of you work in perfect unison to form the beautiful & unique person that you are 💕💕

What will show up in your life when you release control & TRUST??

Trusting has been a huge challenge for me! To relinquish control, to let go of my addiction to 'DOING' and step away from my over analytical logical mind.

Over the last 12 months I have leaned into trusting. Trusting that things will work out without me having to control & hustle for the outcome. And I'm not going to lie - it has been down right scary at times! A death of an identity as another is reborn.

It has led me to find my purpose as a meditation teacher, something that I am so grateful for everyday. To share my gifts in a way that is sustainable for me while adding value to others.

Sometimes I feel undeserving of what is unfolding as it hasn't come from a place of hustling and pushing. It has completely come from flow and ease which sounds silly but feels too easy. But I welcome more of this into my life as I learn to lean into Trust more & more everyday

PRACTICAL TIP: Hold a vision of th end in mind, what do you want to happen. Trust that you don't have to know exactly how this vision will manifest. Begin carving the path being open every step TRUSTING that something magical will unfold beyond what you 'logical' mind could ever fathom 💕💕

Dreams coming True!!! New job alert!!

So excited to announce that I am joining the health movement team as a Meditation teacher. 🧘🏼‍♀️I couldn’t think of a more appropriate fit than getting to work somewhere that combines my 2 passions of fitness and mind body!!

Looking forward to sharing my love of meditation and guiding others to live from a more aligned, inward focus 💕

So here’s to my new path!! Former CFO turned meditation teacher!! Thanks for the unwavering support on this journey!

Noticeably MIA online to get the Mahi done offline!

I know terrible for algorithms blah blah 😂😂

Loved this quote because we often get hacked down for changing, when really this is how we flourish 💕💕

Getting there one step at a time 💖

😂😂😂 I love this! Totally the feels at the mo!

Bring it on 💖 I’m ready - bracing myself but ready!

The specific tools I used to overcome my leg injury in 1 day using the mind body connection.

On wed I could hardly walk, on Thursday I was running again! It still amazes me how powerful these simple exercises are 💕

Feeling powerless in the wake of what is happening?

It sucks that change and awareness has to come at the cost of tragedy!

Yet it seems to be a common theme - things often get worse before they get better.

I hope that this is the rock bottom and that no more tragedy has to be experienced to wake us up.

I hope that this horrible event is the start of awareness and healing.

If you know me, you will know I don’t like to buy into the ‘negative’ however being aware and educated is not doing this.

So what can we do??

We start with the man (or woman) in the mirror!
1. We educate ourselves
2. We choose to bring love to the situation.

I get this may seem like we aren’t doing enough, but we cannot fight hate with hate. We cannot rise above racism without bringing awareness and love to the situation - otherwise we are part of the problem!

As American author Wallace D. Wattles famously said:

“The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.”

It’s true that as individuals, we cannot control the chaos around us. As much as we wish we had the power to do so. The reality is we can not.

If there’s one thing the world needs right now, it's more people living aligned with the values that make humanity more conscious, more compassionate and more loving.

I have chosen to educate myself (which is still a WIP as we are never just done!) but also choose to focus on images such as this one.

I know that there is still a lot to heal and so much hurt, but if we can learn to be like this sheriff who put down his mask and batten to turn the protest into a parade - that’s how we begin to heal.

He let the protesters know, I see you, I am here for you. When we focus on unity and compassion this spreads over hate and fear.

I hope the media shares visions like these and not just the looting/rioting by the small minority. This just spreads more fear and judgement.

By focusing on the healing, it doesn’t mean we turn our back on the problem, it means we become part of the solution to move towards abomination of such tragedy in the future.

Awareness - love - healing
