🌿 Supporting mums is a big part of my mahi 🤍

I’m proud to be working alongside Mothers Helpers, supporting mums through pregnancy, early motherhood and all the emotions that can come with becoming a parent.

You’ll find me at Plunket clinics on Tuesdays, offering face-to-face support, as well as online sessions for mums who need support from wherever they are.

As a social worker, a mum of two grown boys and an aunty to many, I understand that motherhood can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting and sometimes lonely — often all at once.

My approach is warm, non-judgemental and holistic. A space where you can talk, be heard, feel supported and reconnect with yourself. 🌿

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support.
Supporting mums. Strengthening whānau. 💛

What's in my engagement kete? 💛

One thing I learnt working with tamariki is that meaningful conversations don't always start with words.

Even though I now work mainly with wāhine and rangatahi, I still carry an engagement kete. Inside are things like Mana Wāhine affirmation cards (always a hit!), fidget spinners, hand cream for grounding and mindfulness, and other simple tools that help take the pressure off.

Sometimes the best conversations happen while our hands are busy.
Trauma-informed practice is about meeting people where they're at and creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and heard.

What's one simple thing that helps you feel grounded?

Midweek reminder... 💚
Your body carries you through every busy day, every challenge, every joy, and every season of life. It deserves care too.
If you've been putting yourself last, maybe this is your sign to slow down, reset your nervous system, and give your body the care it's been asking for.
Massage appointments available. I'd love to help you feel more like you again. 🌿

Monday feels. 💛

After an amazing weekend in the Far North and Hokianga, I'm back into a week of back-to-back clients with a full heart.

We are always healing or helping someone we love heal..being healed isnt the goal as this is unrealistic, we all walk with wounds, trauma and inspire to be loved ✨️ ❤️

This quote really resonated with me...

Whether it's through social work, supervision, maternal mental health, or therapeutic massage, I feel incredibly grateful to walk alongside people as they rediscover their own strength.

Here's to a week of lifting each other up. ✨

Happy monday! 😊

Still alive... I promise! 😂

I've been a little quiet on here because life has been full.
Over the last few months I've had the privilege of returning to social work alongside my supervision and massage work. This week I also started with Mothers Helpers, working alongside midwives, Plunket and incredible māmā navigating postnatal depression, anxiety and the huge transition into motherhood.

One thing I've noticed isn't just affecting new mums... it's affecting so many wāhine.

We're tired.

Winter feels heavy. Money is tight. Life is busy. We spend so much time looking after everyone else that somewhere along the way we forget what actually brings us joy.
It got me asking myself the same question...

What makes me feel alive?
Not productive. Not successful. Just... joyful.

Maybe it's getting outside. Moving your body. Reading a book. Creating something. Sitting by the ocean. Calling a friend. Laughing until your cheeks hurt.

Whatever it is, perhaps this is your reminder—as much as it is mine—to make space for it again.
You deserve a life that feels good, not one you simply survive.

So tell me... what brings you joy that you've been meaning to get back to? 💚

I've booked a weekend away, returned to the gym and back socializing with those who fill my cup 🥤 🙌
