My beautiful little grandson Tuariki Jayde Tipene, or TJ for short, was born sleeping on Sunday the 3rd of May 2026. An excruciating heartbreak for a beautiful family who had been so eagerly waiting to meet him.

As a family we are completely devastated. The loss of a child is not something a family is ever meant to feel, and the pain is beyond words. But we are also deeply grateful for the incredible love, prayers, messages, and support that have surrounded us during these past days. Every kind word and gesture has meant more than we could ever express.

Watching Brie through this has shown me a strength no mother ever wants to see their daughter have to find, yet I could not be more proud of the courage, love, and grace she has shown through the darkest days imaginable. And seeing her husband Arapeta stand beside her with such gentleness, strength, and unwavering support has meant more than words can say.Through heartbreak, he has held her, protected her, and loved her so deeply. As parents, there is comfort in seeing your daughter so truly supported and cherished by the person walking beside her through this unimaginable loss.
Our hearts also break for little Renee, who was so excited to become a big brother. We know he would have been the most loving, protective, and amazing big brother to Tuariki🤍

Thank you to everyone who has held us in your thoughts, prayers and carried us when we didn’t have the strength ourselves. Your compassion has reminded us how loved we truly are.

Tuariki was so very wanted, so very loved ..and will forever be part of our family.

I will be taking some time away while we navigate this unimaginable loss and support one another through it. Thank you again for your understanding, kindness, and continued prayers.

Also please if you can direct any questions or words of condolence to me to be passed on and respect Bri and AJs privacy as they grieve there loss🤍

Just a little update from me ❤️

I’ll be heading to Perth tomorrow to support my daughter through an important time, so my availability over the coming days/weeks may be a little limited while I focus on my beautiful family. At this stage I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be back, but I appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and support while I navigate this.

I’ll do my best to reply to messages when I can, and I’m incredibly grateful for all of my wonderful clients and supporters. Thank you for your kindness and understanding 💛

This week, being part of a funeral has been a quiet reminder of how hard grief is on the body.

We often underestimate the load and pressure our bodies carry when we’re grieving. I know I did, after our daughter died. That experience is partly how I came to Contact CARE.

I now see it as a real privilege to work alongside and support people who are wanting help to ease the load that comes with carrying their grief.

Grief may never leave us, but we can lighten the load… and we don’t have to carry it all on our own.

A new year doesn’t ask us to become someone new.. only to come home to ourselves.

My work takes a holistic approach, integrating Contact Care Flinch Lock Release with supportive strategies that work with the physical body, the mind, emotions, and the cellular layers where stress and trauma can be held.

This year, I’m not focused on fixing or forcing change .. but on creating space for gentle, deep healing to unfold in its own time.

✨ Gentle work. Deep change.

So as the year comes to an end, it’s always a time to reflect and express gratitude.

This year has been an incredibly challenging one for me, and I am deeply grateful for the love and support I have received along the way. They say people come into our lives for a reason or a season, and I’ve certainly found that to be true.

For seven years I have been learning, growing, and adapting what I’ve learned into my practice, and I will continue to do so. I would like to sincerely thank Sheelagh for her support, encouragement, and shared learning over those years — learning alongside others truly makes the journey richer.

Thank you to Debbie for the path we are on now, bringing a more holistic approach to the care we can offer our clients.
To Greg, Fiona, and Arron, who have helped teach courses here in the Naki .. I’ve loved watching so many people eager to learn and grow.

And to my beautiful clients, many of whom have become more like friends and family … thank you for trusting me to support you through your injuries and healing. That trust means more than I can say.

I’m excited for what next year will bring and for what’s still to come. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and kind holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you again in the new year.

Hey Beautiful people,

I just wanted to let you all know that I’ll be returning to work after my hip replacement — feeling refreshed, grateful, and excited to get back into the swing of things! Recovery has gone well, and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I won’t be opening my bookings up fully just yet, but if you send me a message, I’ll do my best to fit you in.

As we head into the holiday season, make sure you all take time to look after yourselves too. Rest, recharge, and do something that fills your cup. Your wellbeing matters.

Can’t wait to catch up with you all soon!

Just wanted to say thank you to all my beautiful clients / friends that have sent well wishes, articles, podcasts and puzzles to keep me occupied after surgery.
Was so pleased to have it done last week and although there was some complications.. I am just so pleased it’s over and I am ready to start the recovery process. I so appreciate my beautiful little community that are supporting me in that process.
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share that I now have a confirmed date for my upcoming surgery, and as planned, I’ll be taking a leave from work starting the week of June 23rd. The expected recovery time is about eight weeks, but I’ll be sure to return once I’m feeling strong and ready.

In the meantime, I’ll still be taking bookings up until that point, so please feel free to reach out if you’d like to schedule something before then.

I truly appreciate all the support, understanding, and kindness you’ve shown me—it means so much. I’m looking forward to being back with you all as soon as I can.

Take care, and thank you again!
