"A powerful concept doesn't just change how we see things. It changes what we believe is possible.”

In plain terms - if you are looking for a high flying consultant with a flash office somewhere that you pay thousands of dollars to visit - you are in the wrong place.

Im proud to be one of the thriving local artists based in Whitianga, a small coastal community on th edge of the world here on the east coast of NZ,  and at the moment, the majority of my work is done in my garage and what I have learnt, is that simple thing, is both  powerful & significance.

Growing up in Whangamata (1 hour down the road)  we had free roam of the beach and country side, the vibe was clean, the air was fresh, the ocean a place we all lived surrounded by both native and plantation forests.

Growing up in a small community,  when I needed guidance, help with a project or a way to fix something,  I  walked down to the 'the garage' where inevitably I would find one of the family tinkering away or sitting on an upturned wooden crate fixing something or my grandfather would take me down to his, and we would draw and doodle until he had instilled in me what he wanted me to learn.  

The garage became a place of safety, learning, experimenting, learning how to play with tools, to paint, to sand, carve, chisel, play with brushes and create - whether that was in the garden, discussing a business idea, speaking truth with one of the few people we actually trusted to listen to us, or digging a hole planting strawberries, picking peas and beans, or watering the garden while we talked about other things.

Concepts got explored, thinking got challenged and our minds were always moved in the direction of big picture thinking, solving issues, finding solutions creatively. New ideas emerged, perspectives changed and life got back on track again.

Today, the shed/garage is based in Whitianga, it's in my backyard and most days it's hosting art sessions or quietly holding space for people looking to shift their thinking, working with spirit delivering messages, learning to paint in a private art session, or hosting mini workshops helping business owners find new strategies and co-creating concepts for life, healing and business.

 

And so you..... I want you to know, you are safe here. Safe to unpack, to be heard and known for who you are, scars, battle wounds, tiaras and accomplishments.

There is nothing you can't tell me - I've worked with people from all walks of life and wellbeing over the last 26 years and have heard so many stories of peoples lives I've lost track.  Its all relative, because we are all on the same journey - just at different stages of it.

This is for you if are...

  • Standing at the threshold of a new chapter but can't yet see the path ahead.
  • Have been or going through the process of reclaiming yourself after serious harm, injury or sexual harassment.
  • Want to connect with a loved one who has passed and need somewhere safe to do that.
  • Are looking for a place to explore your arty self, but not sure where to start
  • Or maybe you want some art for your home, office or beach bach and looking to support a local creative. 

 

 

This is for people who know they're ready for a different way of living, leading and creating.
