Kia Ora, Ko Rina toku ingoa
Nō Raukawa, Whakatōhea, Niue.
My healing began the moment I chose myself, gently, fully, and without apology. In 2021, when my marriage broke down and I felt lost, disconnected not only from self, our whenua and culture.
Breathwork became the doorway back to my voice, my truth, and my spirit.
What started as one session opened a path of healing I had been suppressing for over 30 years, childhood trauma, family patterns, and the ways I had learned to show up in life.
Just as I began to find my voice again, my dad (my safe space) passed away. Grief broke me open, but it also returned me to a depth of love I had never known.
His presence taught me the medicine of stillness, of being held without needing words.
Navigating that pain reshaped me, softened me, and guided me deeper into breathwork, sound, cold water therapy, and Rongoā.
Through this journey I learned that healing myself is healing not only for me, it's for the woman in my family who came before me and the woman that will follow after me.
If I could find my way home to myself, I know you can too.
I continue to study, attend wānanga, and evolve with every season of who I am becoming. Today, I weave Rongoā Māori, breathwork, and lived experience into the spaces I hold. My purpose is simple: to help women feel safe in their bodies, reclaim their voice, and remember the parts of themselves they forgot were sacred.
I offer a place to Rest. To Heal.
A remembrance of who you are
