Have a look at what my talented husband has to offer and if you haven’t yet give him a follow 🥟❤️

About The Salteño
The Salteño was born in Dunedin as a tribute to my hometown, Salta.
Far from home, I wanted to share the flavours and tradition of our empanadas, bringing a piece of Salta to New Zealand. What I offer is not just food, but an authentic experience, with traditional recipes and a personal touch that reflects the spirit of my home and my passion for cooking.

In the weekend I celebrated my son’s first birthday, and yes as everyone says it passes fast and they grow far too quickly! But oh how I have treasured every moment, and I’m not lying here haha.
Part of this I think is due to the fact I keep my schedule clear (apart from chatting with some of you guys of course!) so that I can be fully with him and am able to be present in the moment, not rushing off anywhere, not too busy, not wanting to be anywhere else, with him is really where I want to be and he comes along with me and shares the things I do. For me it’s really not about getting through this time but instead fully enjoying it.

I decided before he came along not to listen to anyone else on how they did it, what is best or what I should be doing but listen to my intuition and trust my gut on what was best for my baby, and I really want to give you permission to do the same.
This doesn’t mean you have to do it the way I did it, or if you’ve done it, that it was wrong, because everyone is different and every baby is different, some are more strong and others more sensitive, and that gets catered to in different ways.
I wouldn’t say my son is sensitive, in fact he has never been a crier (yes I got lucky there!) but I do cater to his every need, he sleeps in the bed beside me so I can settle him before there’s a call, he is always with me (yes at this moment there are even times he comes to the toilet with me) and with this he is thriving, he’s confident to go off and play and then pops back to me to check in before he’s off again, or alternatively he’s happily exploring the world with me.

I feel catering to him in this way will not form a bad attachment to me, it will form a great one, one where he feels I am here for his needs and that he can come to me for advice or a hug anytime and I’ll be there for him. In turn this will help him to be more secure in his relationships in the future because he has never been left by the one he loves and trust in another has been built.

What I have mentioned here is just an example, some of it will resonate and some won’t and that’s okay, so, more than that, I want to share incase you, like me, want to listen to yourself and do it your way.

Alternatively if you would like any help separating from the ways things were done and tuning into yourself and what is right for you, then let me know. I’d be more than happy to help.

The Power of Love and Connection

Love and connection are fundamental human needs, essential for our well-being, happiness, and growth. They have the power to transform our lives, fostering a sense of belonging, purpose, and meaning.

It’s proven that love and connection have a profound impact on our physical and mental health. Oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” is released while connecting, promoting feelings of trust, empathy, and closeness. This hormone has been linked to reduced stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as improved sleep and overall well-being. Personally I’ve been thriving on this stuff over the past year. It’s produced in the brain while breastfeeding to help you love and bond with your baby, and I can tell you it works. I also know it can be stimulated naturally through these ways of connecting, as non nursing women do with their babies, or the way I have with my husband, this is because of the connection that is created through loving and connecting so deeply and intimately.

Really love and connection are the foundation of a fulfilling life, providing emotional support, improving mental and physical health, creating happiness and personal growth. By nurturing your existing relationships, and practicing empathy, gratitude, and vulnerability, we can all cultivate a deeper sense of love and connection, helping us to reach our full potential.
Embrace the power of love and connection, and watch your life transform in beautiful ways. ✨

Praying for all the children and all the ones who were once children.

We are constantly looking around for someone to do it for us, give us love, take care of us, take this pain from us, fill this gap but in the end it’s us we are looking for. Us who need to feel that pain to release it so that we can begin to build again, stronger.

When this is strong, what can grow inside of you is true unconditional love and when you have that unconditional love for yourself anything is possible for you because that’s when you know that there has never been anything wrong with you, you are special and you are worthy and deserving of great things.

And if after reading this you still feel like you need a mother then I can be your mother until you learn to do it for yourself.

This is only some of what’s on offer, although everything is catered to your needs, depending on your situation and what you are going through.

It could be grief from loss in the form of death or divorce. It could also be past pain from these that you haven’t managed to open up from and life is reflecting that in the form of emptiness. It could be anxiety that prevents you from doing things and has you fearing the future. It could be a deep dwelling on your past and what you went through that keeps you in a state of depression.

Just to name a few but there are many more feelings that could be yours!

What’s most needed will come to the surface by taking back the layers to finally get to the core issue of what’s holding you back and preventing you from having the life you desire.

From there your new life will be revealed to you and you’ll be ready to claim it.

So even if you don’t know what you want, it usually becomes clear after you’ve removed what you don’t want.

This usually takes place about half way through your coaching programme, so you spend half making room and the other half putting in the new.

Just like weeding a garden, you pull the weeds and then there’s room to plant.

This can be you, your life, the life you want, the life you desire that you just cant quite get to.

But you can!

We are meant to be abundant and to expand and express the uniqueness of who we are.

We cannot remain in the old where there is no sharing of love, where we remain in lack and scarcity.

We need to see clearly what’s in our heart, what’s blocking us so that we can have joy and happiness in the process of building what we want and not just the duty of it but the joy and happiness of it.

To en-joy the process

We can let go of the what if’s and the fears, let go of sadness and the beliefs that hurt us, so that we can go in the direction of our new choices and what we want for our life.

This is all it really requires but when we have emotion attached to our story it all feels too hard.

If you need help simplifying things let me know and I’m here to help.
