By the end of the week…
are you running on empty?

Still giving, still doing —
but not actually giving anything to yourself?

This is for women who are craving a reset.
A space that doesn’t take from you
but actually gives something back.

I have personally been craving something that allowed rest and reset, offering valuable tools and insights as well as community connection.

So I’ve created it not just for the women I know deserve and desperately need it but for me to walk this moment beside you…

Saturday’s Are For Me
The Art of Unwinding

Every Saturday in May
A weekly 1.5hr reset to slow down,
clear your head, and reconnect with yourself or other like-minded women.

We start with a short grounding
then a simple theme to reflect on and express through various modalities - journal, create, build, paint, reflect or just be. All guided and supported in process.

No pressure. No performance.
Just a supportive space to release the week and reset with clear intentions for the weeks to come. Leaving refreshed, enlightened, more aligned and more energised.

šŸ—“ Saturdays in May (5 weeks)
ā° 10:30am – 12:00pm
šŸ“ Climate Action Campus
180 Avonside drive Christchurch

šŸ’« Only 12 spots
šŸ’› $120 full experience |

Hello parents/caregivers,

Are you looking for something engaging for your children these school holidays?
Let's Create, Let's Explore is a workshop for children aged
6–10 that supports emotional development in a really practical, creative way.

The Emotional Intelligence Lab is a creative, hands-on program designed to support children with something we all navigate…emotions.

It focuses on helping children:
• understand what they’re feeling
• express themselves in safe and creative ways
• build confidence and self-trust
• learn simple tools for regulation and resilience

The workshops are created to be really engaging, playful, and supportive — not sit-down learning, but experiential and creative.

Location: The Arts Centre Christchurch
Date and Time: Thursday 16th April 9.30am-12.30pmļæ½Price: $60

Have you been feeling like your child needs more emotional support than what’s currently available?

Emotional Intelligence Lab
For children aged 5–12

An incredible offering designed to support the emotional development of our future humans.

This space exists to bridge the gap between what children feel…
and what they’re able to understand, communicate, and safely express.

Because the truth is —
most of us grew up without this kind of support.

And many of us are still learning it now, as adults.

This is an opportunity to give children that foundation early.

āø»

We currently place children into 6+ hours a day of academic learning…
before supporting the foundation that makes learning actually accessible.

Emotional awareness.

Because when a child’s inner world doesn’t yet feel safe, understood, or regulated —
their capacity to process, engage, and learn is naturally impacted.

What we often label as ā€œbehaviourā€
is simply a child without the tools to navigate what’s happening inside them.

School Holiday Workshops are now open
Term 2 Group Sessions are now enrolling

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep each group supportive, focused, and high-quality.

If this feels like something your child would benefit from, I’d love to hear from you.
You’re so welcome to reach out with any questions or share what’s been happening in your child’s world.

Otherwise, you can find all booking links in bio.

Looking forward to welcoming you into the Emotional Intelligence Lab šŸ’›

Hello Christchurch community,

We are hosting a small afternoon workshop later this month called Explore to Express.

It’s a 2.5 hour guided experience designed to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and step out of the pressure of constant ā€œdoingā€ and back into a more grounded state of process and presence.

Together we’ll explore a blend of:
• creative exploration as an embodiment toolļæ½
• gentle somatic and nervous system practicesļæ½
• reflective exercises that help bring clarity to emotional patterns and life experiences.

You don’t need to be creative or experienced in any of these practices — curiosity is more than enough.

We’re intentionally keeping the group small (12 spaces) so the environment stays relaxed, supportive, and personal.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, reconnect, or explore something deeper within yourself, you’d be very welcome.��

-When - 1.30-4pm, Saturday 21st of March
-Where - Te Ara Sophia, OT Room
275 Fifield Terrace, Opawa, Christchurch 8023
-Tickets: $59

For years, creation was about performance — about what the world would see, connect with, and consume.

I built a life through design and fashion, but somewhere along the way, I lost connection with why I was creating in the first place.

When I stopped chasing perfection and began listening to the whispers of my inner world, I found something deeper. Through advanced inquiry, I began translating the language of emotion, energy, and healing through creative expression.

That’s where Creative Exploration was born — bridging the misrepresented gaps of the human ecosystem and the deepest parts of our inner world.
It equips the nervous system with tools to release and reveals the unseen landscapes of our most aligned truths.

It’s no longer about creating to be seen — or consumed.
It’s about creating to feel, to remember, and to come home to our most authentic selves.
