Kia ora koutou, Welcome to our first newsletter of 2023! I have to admit, taking time off over the last few weeks has not been easy for me. The story I was telling myself was that if I stopped I might loose what little momentum I had and it would be so hard to get back into it... But guess what? The opposite is true! I've realised that everything changes; my work ethic and ability to hold space for others will only be sustainable if I make sure I take time for myself and say 'NO' to anything that does not feed my soul! Hmmm, so I invite you all ask the question, "Where am I saying 'YES' when I should be saying 'NO' in my life?" What can we stop caring about because it no longer serves? One of the gifts of perimenopause is that my body is no longer able to keep up the ridiculous pace that I've been going at all my life, I've been forced to slow down and take stock... I can no longer accept ways of working and practicing that do not align with my values and do not offer me satisfaction. It's my intention that in 2023 I will only be welcoming in that which holds me with the respect and depth where I can flourish and that those who work with me can benefit greatest. So, what does that mean in terms of Red Tent Aotearoa and Conscious Consulting NZ?

I will be doing more group coaching and mentoring, and less one-on-one single sessions.
You can now book a minimum of 3 sessions with me. As I have found that we can make a real and lasting difference if you commit to 3 or more sessions.
(Ask me about the individual overnight retreats.)
I am using a lot more discernment about where I place my attention, time and energy.
I know that I have a unique set of skills and qualities that are really needed in the world now, more than ever, and if I am to share my gifts with others it needs to be in an organised and sustainable way. I am so thrilled to have found such incredible humans to collaborate with both locally and internationally, and I am looking forward to working with them more in 2023. People who understand the value of collaboration and know that together we are stronger and can have a bigger impact. Reach out if you want to bring something to life with me in 2023! As a human family we are not meant to live like strangers, moving through life not knowing each other on a deeper core level. We need to feel the warmth of each other and I believe that asking for help, showing vulnerability is the first step in growing a connected community. So, if you have attended a Red Tent circle, a Courageous Conversations, Conscious Creators event, if you have had counselling or mentoring with me, if you have been to a ceremony, retreat or any of my offerings, I am asking for you to share my work and pass this newsletter on to anyone who you know is looking for support, connection and belonging. So many are struggling to find their tribe and seeking deeper consistent connection. Invite them to attend an event with you, forward this newsletter, comment on our social media posts, and suggest the type of event you'd like to see us host. This space in Tai Tapu has been created for our amazing community and we want to be able to support those who are looking for it in many different ways. Things I am excited about: OPEN UP AND BLOOM with Jenine from Nine Healing Arts at Birdsong Retreat in Wainui.

1. Private mentorship, Guidance and Counselling Conscious Consulting NZ
via zoom or in person at my home clinic in Tai Tapu.
Helping you access your Infinite Wisdom.
As a fully qualified Holistic Counsellor and Business Mentor who loves to help people succeed in doing what their heart calls them to do I offer unique ideas, connections, and utilise many modalities that enhance the version of you that your soul wants to reveal.
Why go to therapy?
Because when we aren’t thriving and feeling our best we need help to figure out the way to get to a place where we can create and feel happy.
To do this we need to be willing to do the work and start to discover the layers of ourselves.
Therapy is important to help you become empowered and regulate your emotions. Especially if we are feeling confused, anxious, sad or angry. Unpacking it all is where the magic is.
It’s not always about talk therapy. I use EFT, The Work of Byron Katie, Family Constellations, Mindfulness and Somatic release. The container I create is one of support, compassion and non-judgement.
$115 per one hour session.
2. Online Group Program: Graceful Leadership
This 6 week online programme has been designed specifically for people who are wanting to step into leadership, either in a work situation or to begin a group, or are already leading a group, or do circle work.
As a facilitator of groups for over 20 years, I have written the curriculum to be a wonderfully warm, bonding and inclusive experience.
My intention is to encourage you to take your group or circle to the next level with consistency, clarity and firm boundaries.
This work is so important and needed now more than ever, and I believe it's my duty to share the things I wish someone had shared with me early on in my journey.
This forum will be an opportunity for deep listening, sharing, bonding and learning.
You will learn public speaking skills and become a confident leader.
$666 early bird
$749 payment plan
3. In person circle work: Red Tent Aotearoa
The goal for Red Tent Aotearoa is to build and hold spaces that invite the women attending to rise to a higher standard than has been modelled for us in today’s society. To make that container safe enough that they can remove the armour.
I feel if we can all support each other to walk in a new way of confidence, community and courage then the shift that needs to happen will do so organically creating a culture of deep caring and connection.
Imagine creating a group of women who show up for themselves and lead from the heart.
In this training you will learn everything you need to know to do this. As we do this, we become more aware and responsible for our own growth whilst supporting each other. The world needs more safe spaces for women.
15th-19th March 2023
$1,500
In person weekly group for entrepreneurs. Conscious Creators is a networking group with a difference. We will set goals and gently hold each other accountable using the four insights of Sacred Commerce.

Are you a good listener?
Do you find it hard not to problem solve or interrupt?
Are you the person that everyone comes to ‘dump’ their problems on?
Can you ‘Hold Space’ for those around you well?
Maybe you have no idea what ‘Holding Space’ even means...
It's all ok.
The past is in your head, & the future is in your hands.
The best thing we can all do for ourselves is work on the way we communicate.
Connection is the reason we are here, so let's come together from a heart space.
These weekly practice circles are for beginners, and experienced space holders alike, all are welcome!!
We will be utilising the modalities of Nonviolent / Compassionate communication (NVC), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and ‘The Work’ of Byron Katie during these 2 hour weekly practice sessions.

8. Healing Arts
Reiki + Energy Healing
I've been a Reiki master for almost 20 years. I access it daily and find it extremely powerful.
Have you ever wondered what Reiki is?
It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Administered by "laying on hands" and based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. It is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone of any age can use. It is effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a beneficial effect.
It also works safely in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
$100 per session.
9. Public Speaking coach. I truly believe that everyone has a TED talk inside of them and with a little support you can share your message in an impactful and lasting way. Let me help you get over the fear of public speaking and share the words in your heart!
$115 per hour.
10. Rites of Passage ceremonialist.
In our society today we do not have enough sacred occasions to mark meaningful events in our lives. I create individual rituals and ceremonies to walk you through the important milestones of your life.
Individual pricing.
