My Story

​In September 2015 my life was turned upside down.  I lost my beautiful 19-year-old son suddenly to meningitis.

This unimaginable loss signalled a turning point in my life. I could let the pain and anguish of losing him define who I was, or I could push through the immense grief and try to  find purpose in my life.

 It was a journey that certainly had its dark spaces and one that no parent should ever have to endure, but from the tragedy, I was also shown a new perspective  and understanding about the direction I wanted my life to head.  

My journey into holistic health and wellbeing was about to begin.

​

In 2016 I completed Reiki training to master level, under Shu Shimaoka. Following this I completed a psychological development of the first 12 years certificate with the Lotus College of natural therapies, a certificate in natural health and healing and a  counselling/grief counselling skills certificate. I also began my training in Touch for Health kinesiology.  I knew that my goal now was to support as many people as I could using the skills I had gained through my study and my various life experiences. During the last few years, I have operated my clinic part time, but as the need for my services has increased, I now run my clinic full time and am loving every moment of it!

​

I am a mother to a beautiful 10-year-old son and have  a wonderful supportive partner Mike.  We live right on the beach front in the coastal community of Te Awanga. I have an amazing space downstairs with views to the ocean, as my kinesiology clinic, as well as the "Zen Den" little cottage, otherwise know as “The reiki room,” where I conduct my crystal light bed and  reiki sessions.   They are both very  calm and  relaxing spaces to work within. I am passionate and driven with the work I do (in fact I don’t like to call it work, as I get so much satisfaction and enjoyment from it, it doesn’t feel like work!).

 

My partner suggested the name “Coastal Calm” because that’s how it feels here. The ocean is at our front door and brings with it its own healing energy. It really is a tranquil and healing place and I am privileged to be able to be in this space every day.

 

  Have a look around my website and feel free to explore the various holistic therapies on offer here. 

 

I  look forward to seeing you at Coastal Calm!

With Love
