Firstly, I wish to introduce myself by honouring my diverse ancestral heritage. I have a deep connection with the Earth Mother “Papatuanuku”. My Maori (Ngai Tahu), Afghani, Persian and European ancestry have profoundly influenced me. I consider myself a universalist and a humanitarian by nature. In my long-time dedication to the healing and evolution of the human soul, I have encouraged and supported many people, of all ages and cultures, on their personal healing journeys. I wish to honour my two Spiritual Teachers who assist me and guide me on my own life journey. Spiritually I do not seek to impart ‘religion’ merely to share universal spiritual consciousness through the breath, so that an individual may resource their own faith in LIFE.
On a personal level, I am the mother of an adult daughter (gifted Art Teacher) who lives in Wellington. And I am blessed to have one sweet grandson via my daughter. I also have a talented, creative son living in Takaka, Golden Bay. One of my life challenges was the loss of a son who passed into spirit at the age of 23 in 2003. I was also good friends with my ex-husband (18 yr marriage) who passed over into spirit in 2018. I also had a long-term loving relationship with a female partner from the UK who worked as a Natural Healthcare practitioner too. She was a wonderful step-mum to my children.
I have worked in the field of Personal Development since 1987 and initially trained in Rebirthing with New Zealander, Colin P Sisson who authored a world classic on Rebirthing ‘Rebirthing Made Easy‘.
Below are some of the other complementary healthcare trainings, workshops and spiritual journeys and teachings I have experienced and / or trained in. They have all influenced my expression as a Rebirther / Breathworker / Breathwork Trainer / Personal Development Consultant.
- Loving Relationships Training with Sondra Ray (Mother of Rebirthing) in 1988 and later in 2010, 2012.
- Divine Mother Festival at the ashram of Babaji annually between 2006 & 2012 in the Himalaya’s India with Sondra Ray on “India Quest”.
- Non Violent Communication – the work of the late Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, increased understanding, deepening connection and conflict resolution.
- Family Constellations Therapy – Profound work introduced in Europe by the late Bert Hellinger supporting the restoration of the “order of love in families”. I utilise the consciousness of this work in most of my one-to-one sessions with clients. Link above to Angelika Chisholm, Facilitator of Family Systems Constellations NZ.
- Soul Yoga 1990 – 1994. This was a personal dedication to self of 2 hours daily inner-guided movement meditation which I undertook for 4 years. This led me to being able to “hear” my own soul and later to be able to tune into the soul of another person.
- I incorporate the principles of Cranial Sacral Therapy in my work – allowing and unwinding. CST is a gentle and subtle whole-body approach to the human experience.
- Student of A Course in Miracles – A unique, universal, self-study spiritual thought system that teaches that the way to Love and Inner Peace is through Forgiveness.
- Reiki NZ Inc – Reiki is a natural, vibrational, hands-on healing practice which utilises the presence of universal life force energy to support the body’s self healing ability.
- Secretary of Amma New Zealand Inc for 4 years (2013 to 2017 inclusive) and Organiser /Co-ordinator of many spiritual events & programmes, some with visiting overseas Teachers.
- Pre-Conference Retreat Co-ordinator for AIMA NZ March 2020.
I look forward to meeting anyone who may choose to seek my services to support them on their path of awakening and self-healing. My focus with all of my clients and students, is to support them on their journey, with a compassionate heart.
