1:1 Coaching

Whatever change you are navigating — beginnings, endings, transitions, reimaginings, learnings — from the expansive to the intimate, let’s co-create the support you need.

  • ..yearning for a fresh approach to personal and professional change. I specialise in coaching creatives, academics, non-traditional leaders, and those who long for new ways of knowing, being, doing and valuing, towards a Tiriti-based future.

  • ..creative, embodied and holistic coaching methods to help you reveal your own capacities for meeting complexity with imagination, groundedness, and agency.

  • ..50 minute online sessions, either one-off or in packages of 4 or more for best value.

Facilitating

From small to large groups, simple to complex kaupapa, lunchtime sessions to team away days, facilitation-only to bespoke workshop or retreat design, I love what can emerge from collective processes.

  • ..navigating the elephants in the room, the eggshells that everyone is afraid of walking on, the cans of worms no-one wants to open. We won’t get to shared ground if we don’t address what’s really here.

  • ..depth education, embodied practice, and collective processes, underpinned by a deep commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Together we’ll create a container where plurality can be held with care, so that groups can arrive at depth and insights.

  • ..sliding scales for fees, depending on your sector and your means. Rates are tailored to numbers and how much bespoke design is involved. [Koha for the right kaupapa!]

Systems Change & Capacity-Building

Restorative change-making and capacity-building for teams, groups, organisations & communities looking to meet challenges with intelligence, creativity and care.

  • ..facing into the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of these times with open eyes and a commitment to community.

  • ..research and practice that understands change as a dynamic, multidimensional, embodied and situated process involving messy humans and entangled contexts.

  • ..co-created with your team and your budget.

SPECIALISMS

  • I am trained in healing-centred systems change using the Haumanu framework, an emerging approach to restorative systems change that draws from mātauranga Māori and Western knowledge.

  • I am an experienced educator in anti-racism and cultural intelligence, and especially love working with those from dominant cultures who find it uncomfortable or awkward or confusing. I help people to move through shame and blame to liberation for everyone.

  • I am a trained Warm Data Lab Host. Warm Data Labs help people to perceive and meet complexity, through a group process that engages with dynamism, plurality, interdependence, and emergence. It is a beautiful way to help people gain insights into addressing the ‘super wicked problems’ we are facing.

  • I have training and experience in depth education, which supports people to navigate the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of the future we are all facing, with agency, accountability and compassion.

  • I am a certified facilitator for Future Search, a 3-day process that gets “the whole system in the room” to address complex systemic challenges together.

We are our systems; we are not separate from them. We don’t act on them, we act as them.

All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you.

All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you.
