Stepping in to find ourselves is honourable, for m Stepping in to find ourselves is honourable, for me, there's no right or wrong ~ There's just what emerges from us & our own knowing about what is true.

Yet others are here to maintain & share ancient practices, all has a place.
I have been reflecting on the changes this puppy b I have been reflecting on the changes this puppy bear has brought into my life, they have been subtle & huge. 

I had a moment this afternoon walking tired through the rain of joy & laughter at watching Luma discover rain...

Her joy of leaving the house in the pooouuurrring rain after i've been out working during the day & also the pride in myself with sticking to what I committed to do, rain or shine... 2 walks a day if possible. 

Luma's presence in my life has had an unexpected impact of re-prioritising how I spend my time. 

Previously, most of my energy went willingly to clients, so I often may not have made the effort to fit a walk in a half hour spot between clients. Or I may have given my time to admin. 

Luma's arrival has most definitely changed the shape of my priorities & highlighted some ways of organising my time & practice that need to change. 

This recent realisation of my desire to re-simplify my practice freaked me out a lot, but now I'm seeing, even pre-Luma I was trying to solve, outsource or add work-arounds to some things thay may have run their course...

Time will tell where it all shakes out, yet simpler, calmer & a slower pace is calling me 💟
Released on the @flourishhealpractice podcast toda Released on the @flourishhealpractice podcast today, an episode close to my heart with @thealisonarmstrong ~ where we talk about the importance of men being allowed to transition from being our provider to their home body.

When & if men can complete their rituals, they'll transition faster & be able to be the loving nourishing space we are craving as a whole. Often as women we can unknowingly interrupt the rituals and throw them off,

Wahine, women & Tāne, men ~ I would love to hear how this one landed for you! x
I recently had a really interesting conversation w I recently had a really interesting conversation with Paul van der Mey on the Forrest.Chat podcast ~ Paul chats with Western Australians about their individual endeavour across our beautiful state.

Here's a soundbite about our conversation

The full episode explores the path that has shaped my work as a counsellor, Māori healing practitioner, and facilitator ~ it's always an honour to share & reflect.  We talk about following what feels deeply true, the lessons that come through challenge, the importance of listening to our inner knowing, and how healing often begins by creating space to truly see ourselves.

In this time of change personally, it's quite cool to have a record of this moment

🎧 The episode is released on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.

In the meantime, Paul encourages you to subscribe to the Forrest.Chat email list to be notified when it goes live x

In our latest Raranga Tipua weavings, we look at t In our latest Raranga Tipua weavings, we look at the Tipua, ancient guardians of the various energies in the world & ponder a question which is sitting at the core of what drives me... How do we live as spiritual beings in a world that is very real, present & sometimes overwhelming keeping our dignitiy, strength & letting the present & everyday be just as special together.
