Nearly two years ago whilst in my cosy treatment room in Hāwea Flat, I had this vision of being in a white room, doing a treatment, I was on the right hand side of my table, with a gong to my right hand side, which was at the head of my treatment table.

I assumed this room was my treatment room at Hāwea Flat, as it is also a white room

I then called my friend who had a gong to tell her about my vision…

That was nearly 2 years ago.

Today I did a treatment out of Shala in Wānaka. Shala is a new yoga and wellness space run by my friend with said gong.

I set my treatment table up, and was acknowledging the feel of the space, after which I took a photo of my set up.

I then met my whaiora (client) for the treatment, and about 3/4s of the way through the session, whilst on the right hand side of my treatment table, and with the gong to the right of me, which happened to be at the head of my treatment table, and inside of a white room, I had the vision flash back up in my minds eye from nearly 2 years ago..

“Whoa out of it!” I said, seemingly out of nowhere (to my whaiora anyway) 3/4s of the way through my treatment… “I had a vision of this about 2 years ago” I said as I stopped the treatment and excitedly explained my vision to the whaiora I was working on.

And so the point of this story is…. I am a wizard, I have visions and they eventually come true 😂 🧙🏽

But in all seriousness, I will be offering treatments out of Shala, in central Wānaka on Wednesdays.

I woke up with this song on my mind, and will be taking this motivation not only into this next lunar cycle, not only into the rest of this Gregorian / astrological and every other measurement of a year, but for the rest of my days

Go out there and f**ken get it!!!

“You can do anything that you want to do
Put your mind, body and soul to it
Prove it to yourself and say
I want (I want)
I will (I will)
I can do anything
It's a difficult world and you got to prove
That you're ready and you can do it
Nothing in this world can stop you
I know, I can, I will fulfil my dreams”

Never - the cursed word

I stood there, looking at a wall, a wall I was to Clean, sand and paint.
The last time I was painting, it broke me before lifting a brush.

“F!ck painting! It’s not physical, and it’s not mentally stimulating, it’s just boring. I’m never doing painting again” Me in Feb 2023

And here I was, July 2025, in Mangamuka, a town in the far north of NZ pretty much in the middle off nowhere, about to do a painting job.

2 days later, I’m stood there, looking at a clean kitchen, with a freshly painted ceiling, about to paint the walls, doing a job I said I’d never do, but now contemplating another thing I said I’d “never do”…… move back to Australia.

There has got to be a curse behind this word Never.
Said I’d never go back to a warehouse job, ended up going back to a warehouse, said I’d never paint, end up painting, said I’d never move back to Aussie, and here I am, planning the next move to Aussie.

So I did what most people these days do, I confided in my new besty, I went to ChatGPT.

“Is the word Never a curse?”

‘According to the hermetic teachings, every absolute contains its opposite, and declaring NEVER can draw in the energy you’re trying to avoid’

‘The stronger you declare against something, the more energy you unconsciously feed into it. This is why many esoteric teachers say, “What you resist persists.”’

Even Napolean once (Apparently famously) said he would ‘never’ return to power after his first exile… but he did.

Later that night I went outside, looking up at the sky, trying to break any previously said ‘Never Spells’
“I take back anything I said never to!!!”

Anyways 2 points to all of this:

- Never say Never otherwise you’re cursing yourself to repeat that lesson, and perhaps there is something karmic about it all, or it’s lifes way of saying “oh yeah?”

- I’ll be finishing up my time in NZ by November/December. Come get one of the following treatments before I close the doors on this NZ chapter of my life
•Honohono
•Mirimiri
•Romiromi
•Guided breathwork and Sound Ceremonial Journey

All treatments come with a complementary bag of herbals from Hāwea Flats herbalists Tenacious Teas

Feel your best for the upcoming Spring months ahead!

As we enter the final months of May and approach the official start of Winter, I’d like to offer a Winter card reading for each of the months.

For the next 5 and a half days, get a personalised reading of the energies for the months of June, July and August for just $33

Use the reading as something be aware of, or
note it down and reflect on it as the months pass you by.

One of the decks I’ll be using is the Shaminic Medicine oracle deck, which will give the medicine to use for each of the months.

If this sparks some intrigue within you, reach out and send a message through before the end of May

This card reading is for someone out there in the world…

X - Wisdom
Ancestors - Wisdom
Mountains - Stand your ground

The theme of all 3 cards talk about WISDOM.
This could be a time of introspection, a time of understanding / innerstanding, knowing and loving the shadow parts of yourself, which will lead to loving the whole self.

You could be feeling challenged or pressured at this time and wanting to withdraw from the world or even run away from it all, these cards invite you to use the energies of The Mountains - strong and wise, which reaches high into the Sky Father with roots deep in Mother Earth, have been there for thousands of years, and the energies of The Ancestors, to not only stand your ground, but know that you are supported by and held by Sky Father above, Mother Earth below, and backed and watched over by your Ancestors.

Honour those that have walked before you, understand there ways which will then help you to release hurts and pains. Healing ancestral lines can enable you to break free of destructive patterns and step into the freedom your soul yearns for - to be whole, wise and complete.

Talk things over with those around you, and know that change will come to you. The road ahead leads to many destinations. You will be whole and well at the end of this current situation.

Call in the wisdomm of the ancestors and honour yourself for never giving up as you walk wisely in their footsteps

Dedicate a small alter at home with pictures of loved ones, light a candle in remembrance, or visit the grave of a loved one. Perhaps a visit to your homelands holds the answers. Seek out your elders / kaumatua for their wisdom.

Is it time to break out of a cycle you find yourself in? Wisdom is learning from ones mistakes

You have unlimited potential!
