If you're wondering what it feels like to experience the healing of honohono, here are some testimonials I have received recently ❤️✨️

You give so much. Your healing matters too 🥰 I offer honohono in person and via distance, on a koha basis - and if you've been curious, now is a beautiful time to experience it while I'm still walking this learning path ❤️✨️

That inner voice is a DAMN LIAR!! You are not useless, you are not a dreamer, you're not "just like your father", you are not *insert whatever you heard when you were a child here*

You are more than enough and you always have been. Look at all the things you have achieved in your life and how far you've come. You. Are. Amazing. He kūmara, he tangata.

Constant Vigilance

I am so tired of bracing for impact.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE, says Mad-Eye Moody in my head -
but for what, exactly?
Scanning for the old shapes,
the familiar silhouettes of harm
I no longer allow through the door.
But have I gone too far the other way -
guillotine of self-respect
crashing down
before they even have the chance
to really hurt me?

You're useless, just like your father.
My mother's voice, still paying rent
in the back of my skull.
My father -
who beat the s**t out of his first wife.
His second. My mother.
His third - well.
He fed her a different story entirely
and she believed him.
But wasn't it dangerous for her not to?

I married a man just like my mother.
Realised, eventually,
that he was taking from me in my sleep.
And knew - bone-deep, wordless -
that this was familiar.
No memories to attach it to.
Just the knowing.

So here I am.
Every relationship after,
romantic, platonic, all of it -
the same wound
wearing different faces.
One toe out of line
and the cord is severed.
Is that self-respect?

Or just a girl
who learned very early
that love
and harm
arrive together?

Tēnā koutou e te whānau! 🥰

I have some limited spaces available this week for volunteer clients to experience Honohono healing sessions as part of my continued integration in this sacred Māori healing practice.

These sessions are offered on a koha/equivalent exchange basis, honouring the reciprocal flow of giving and receiving.

Honohono is a holistic healing practice centred on connection, mauri (life force), and restoring balance across mind, body, and spirit.

This may be for you if you’re feeling:
- overwhelmed, emotionally heavy, or out of balance
- navigating stress or transition
- curious about traditional Māori healing
- drawn to holistic/spiritual wellbeing

What’s involved?
• Minimum 2 sessions (up to 3)
• Koha or equivalent exchange
• A short reflection/testimonial after each session

Sessions may support deep relaxation, grounding, emotional clarity, and reconnection.

As part of my supervised training journey, brief de-identified notes may contribute to my learning, with full respect for your privacy and consent.

If you feel called, send me a message with your name, why this resonates, and your general availability.

Ngā mihi nui ❤️✨️

All feelings are welcome. As hard as it is to sit with them, it's better than burying yourself in work, hobbies, other "distractions" so that you don't have to deal with them, because they don't go away - they just come out in different ways. Kia kaha, be brave ❤️✨️

Kaua e wareware, he rā anō āpōpō ✨️❤️

Grief can be so overwhelming when you're in it, but you will be okay. Do what you need to do - cry, sleep, stay in bed scrolling, talk to someone about it, sit in the sun with a cup of tea, go to the ocean, the river, the forest. Do whatever you need to do that is healthy to help you get through it, and most of all be kind to yourself. Your feelings are valid, you're not stupid for having them, and its okay to let them go. Crying is your emotions in physical form, its good for you to cry ✨️

Arohanui ki a koutou ### ❤️❤️❤️

Interesting that the song that came on, Little Circles by Corella, is about the feeling you get when you see that one person who makes you feel something more than anyone else. Accurate 🙄🥺
