About Me

My practitioner skills include the wisdom from the following holistic healing modalities:

  • Integrative Bodywork

  • Reiki Master

  • Remedial Massage

  • Marma Massage

  • Heart Chakra Massage

  • Acupressure

  • Holistic Mentoring

  • Somatic Therapy

  • Chakra Balancing

  • Tibetan Sound Healing

  • Traditional Maori and Ayurvedic Healing

  • Yin Yoga & Mindfulness Meditation

I am also an expert in Grief, Life Transitions, and Stress Resilience. I combine Eastern and traditional healing modalities with science-based therapeutic theory to support women in achieving holistic well-being. Whatever the modality in-use, my intention is set in having the heart lead the interaction combined with always looking to hand the power back to the client. I strive to ensure every client has a transformative healing experience.

With extensive experience in holistic health and healing since 2009 plus 25 years of mentoring, and being raised bi-culturally (NZ European and Maori), I am well-equipped to be culturally sensitive working with clients from a range of identities.

In 2013, I established my first Natural Therapies and Massage business and later rebranded it to Ojas Holistic Health, Dunedin, NZ. I served not only the Dunedin and NZ community but also Government workplaces, corporate organisations, overseas visitors and NZ Earth Beat and Wanderlust Yoga Festivals.

In 2015, I initiated the Manawa Mindfulness Program – a mindfulness-based program for Women on Community-based sentences, as a National Strategy to reduce re-offending in Aotearoa, NZ. This culturally sensitive program integrates somatic practices, mindfulness and group process work to help women achieve deeper healing holistically.

I have contracted my services to Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, nominated the World’s Best Luxury Eco Spa and Luxury Spa Retreat 2023.

I am originally from the surfing community of St Clair, Dunedin, New Zealand and now reside in the Gold Coast, with my two beautiful daughters.

Music, mantra meditation, yoga, poetry, sound healing, movement and Mother Nature are hugely influential in my life and I find ways to creatively integrate these into my healing practices.

It is with with heartfelt delight to be offering my holistic healing services within Australia and beyond.

I look forward to walking alongside you, in a caring and compassionate way.

With love & gratitude,

My Approach

My five core values are Authenticity, Compassion, Empathy, Self-empowerment, and Integrity. These values inform my integrative and person-centred approach to working with people holistically.

Whilst I am intuitive in my approach, I have a practical relationship to spirituality, which is a way of being in everyday life. This I believe helps the entirety of our existence evolve. Enabling you to heal with greater consciousness and allow you to connect deeply to your sovereign self.

I enjoy convening people in my community for connection, meaningful conversations and catalytic change. This fills ‘my cup’ and others’ for a deeper more meaningful life.

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do” - RUMI


“I rely upon my spiritual gifts, adversity, and the foundations of my own living practice to connect to the centre within my sense of self, minimising outside distractions and embracing the connection to the universe. If it weren’t for my own lived experience, I wouldn’t be able to offer my services in a compassionate way that truly reaches the hearts and souls of my clients.”
