I've been pondering a lot lately & really relectin I've been pondering a lot lately & really relecting on what is & isn't aligned in my practice. It's been a huge inside job, as I love this practice, I love the work I do and yet I have been feeling the tides of change moving.

Change often feels vulnerable because it isn't yet certain & it feels good ~ because things are dropping that no longer feel resonant.

Everything is still weaving it's way through me, yet acknowledging where I am at in this moment feels the best right now. 🌼 🌺

Our life & life energy is just as important as our spiritual energy, it needs to be nourished, cared for & respected in order for our spiritual actions to be able to become embodied.
After 13-years of working in the healing & persona After 13-years of working in the healing & personal development space & diving deep on my own healing.

I'm entering my normal person era.
In essence, I'll still be doing the same mahi yet this is...

♡ A time of less holding space & more listening to what the space wants to explore.
♡ A moment of less focus on personal development & more focus on what is already shining.
♡ A true understanding that none of us are numb, we all have a deep inner world.
♡ An inner understanding that my life merely requires pruning, I have already transitioned through the time of hacking through my flaws, leaping of cliffs & taking courageous action.
♡ Taking the time to truly appreciate all I have created.
♡ Understanding I do not need to initiate, for I am already initiated.

I am entering an era of understanding that everything can be sacred.

♡ My phone because it connects me to you.
♡ My coffee because it reminds me to take a moment.
♡ My tv watching as it is my time to receive hugs & decompression.
♡ My bitchiness, at times, for she reminds me I am in the wrong spaces.

Many times I hear that people with gifts are tenta Many times I hear that people with gifts are tentative about opening up, either from experiences they have had when they were young of Te Ao Wairua ~ the spirit world or from the attitudes of those around them.

Something that I feel passionate about is normalising this work we do, not holding fear, but really starting to decide how much of the spirit world we genuinely want to be engaged with. I've found if we are open spiritually, closing it off can feel empty, yet if we dive in, we can feel unsafe.

Echoes of the womb ~ 27th September 2026 Echoes o Echoes of the womb ~ 27th September 2026

Echoes of the Womb is a 1-day women's circle with Tania Edmond-Tairea & Shiree Walker which emerged from a deep recognition that many women are longing to reconnect with themselves.

As woman, we move through many seasons of life. We carry stories within us-stories of love and loss, joy and sorrow, birth and endings, resilience and transformation. Along the way, we often

become disconnected from our own needs, our bodies, our intuition and wisdom that resides within.

This day is a gentle invitation to pause in the journey back to self with a focus on peri-menopause & menopause

There's a shift happening energetically inside of There's a shift happening energetically inside of me & that I'm also witnessing happening in & others & the world as well. I have been both holding back on voicing what is most alive in me... as I don't yet have all the answers.

What I have noticed is that the beautiful community of Ako Torowhānui that I have had the deep pleasure of founding, stewarding, teaching within, witnessing others & having the deep honour of seeing others learn, grow & shift into their own practices needs to adjust it's pillars outside of my Mauri ~ life force and nervous system.

Once I have energetic realisations, I often speak freely, and I can hear some of these shifts already emerging in podcasts, training spaces and the like. I do not yet have every part of the transition mapped out, but I wanted to share what I do know.

Over the last few years, life has been asking me to go slower than when I first began teaching. A recent deep dive has revealed that, as much as I looooooveeee teaching and still want to share this mātauranga, the pieces around it ~ the administration, holding the overall structure, tracking pathways and supporting people towards 400 hours ~ are beginning to extend my nervous system beyond what feels aligned at this time in my life.

Over time, I have witnessed others navigate this transition time in their teaching in different ways, handing over to others, dropping back completely and/or pushing through. I have been dabbling with these possibilities, yet none of them fully resonate for me or feel clear and fair for us as a group.

I'm choosing to step back & listen deeply to what wants to emerge and also to share with the universe that I would love to teach without being the "organiser" or "administrator"

I also sense, I want to speak on this shift that I am witnessing as one who has the deep pleasure of hearing some of the true pains & joys of this world. There are many narratives emerging & I always value what's alive on this journey of evolution
