A Little about me....
My story is self evolving, as I am sure so is yours...
Zimbabwean born, South African bred, now in New Zealand via Australia...
In 2006, a Reiki Master came to me and said that she had been given a message that I was to be tuned in and taught the art of Reiki, so with a childlike trust and an open heart, I undertook the training offered to me and became a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner.
Then when my world changed I was ready, I started embracing new ways that felt right and good to me...I slowly dipped my toes in and began working with plants, animals, feeling their energies deep within my own body and then eventually humans started coming to me for touch. Through this connection with Mother Earth and the Universe, I was able to listen to my soul and those that I worked with. I soon discovered my path and my purpose, my reason for "being" became clearer...
I escaped the madness of the corporate world of Real Estate and started gardening. I already had a deep connection with nature through my love of trees and plants and flowers and herbs, so studying Organic Horticulture and Permaculture was a natural progression. I was determined to heal the planet, one garden at a time. I love the healing attributes and beauty of nature in all her elements, I believe we all have a part to play on our great planet. Plant Spirit Medicine is one of the amazing modalities, that I am honored to use during treatments, I bring this through in my use of Aromatherapy. I create a customized remedy of essential oils to cater to the individual's specific needs.
Whilst I was still completing my Horticultural studies another teacher appeared and told me that she had a message that I should look into AIHT (American Institute of Holistic Theology), which led me to add another pathway that complemented the Nature studies, so I committed myself to remaining a student for the next 5 years.
I now hold a Ministerial Bachelor's Degree in Holistic Theology, which has included the completed studies in Stress Management, Mind/Body/Spirit healing, Healing Herbs, Healing Touch, Healing Oils (aromatherapy), Family Dynamics, A Course In Miracles, and Interfaith Ministries and Astrology and Spirituality..
I have also completed a course in Feng Shui and Taoism which encourages decluttering of the physical to allows for the decluttering in the emotional body...a very interesting and worthwhile subject well worth exploring deeper.
My theology studies complement the massage work, and helps to give me a deeper understanding and empathy of the needs and desires of the body, mind and spirit. I am open to learning and teaching other's whenever possible or whenever needed.
In 2012 I was led onto the path of Sacred Sexuality whilst studying Healing Touch, and so began my journey into Conscious Sexuality where I had the opportunity to become an Urban Tantra® Practitioner under the tutorage of Barbara Carrellas. Tantric training added an extra sensual and kinky dimension to my practice. I am pleased to be able to share my experiences of Tantra with those interested in fully experiencing the therapeutic benefits of Tantra and Eroticism and see first hand, how building and working with kundalini energy can bring about pleasure in their bodies can enhance their lives.
"The main aim of my sessions is to create the sacred space to allow you the freedom to get you to know your intimate self better. Your primary objective is to have a relationship with yourself, to trust your own "Essential Nature" and open yourself to receiving unlimited love and abundance, explore yourself, your emotions, accept your body as a perfect creation, focus on understanding yourself instead of blaming others. See your world in harmony and simplicity by introducing transcendent thankfulness, gratitude and contentment - trust yourself to be an instrument of love."
My foundation training in Organic horticulture, Permaculture, Landscaping, and Garden design has given me a wonderful foundation of understanding on which to base sustainable wholesome living on our beautiful land. I use nature’s plant essences and essential oils in all my healing sessions.
If you are feeling like it is time to start feeling great again and reconnect with yourself, boost your self confidence as well as your immune system, de-stress and receive some beautiful loving bodywork, I encourage you to call me to book some time to nurture yourself, so that you too may start enjoying your life with bliss, Love & Anticipation.

Massage is needed in the World because Love has disappeared.
Once the very Touch of Lovers was enough.
A Mother touched the Child, played with his Body, and it was Massage.The Husband played with the Body of his Woman and it was Massage; it was enough, more than enough.
It was deep Relaxation and part of Love.
But that has disappeared from the World. By and by we have forgotten where to touch, how to touch, how deep to touch.
In Fact, Touch is one of the most forgotten Languages.

Sex Talk Therapy is now available:
I also understand how important it is to be heard. Communication is key in creating a strong relationship with others, but especially with yourself. It is no surprise to discover how closed/blocked some people are in their throat chakra. Most of us have been raised "to be seen, but not heard", this is a sin of the parents, and has serious consequences in how we relate to others. It's no wonder we cannot share our deepest desires with others.... we weren't taught that it was ok to be honest with our emotions, needs or wants, lest it "hurt" a person's feelings. We weren't taught to listen or to validate. Well some of us may have, but from what I have seen, a lot of changes need to happen in parenting to stop the story from replicating itself in time and space.
I offer a space for you to talk, be heard and be validated. Find your voice again.
After your treatment you are welcome to meditate in our beautiful garden or nibble on some of our fruit.
and some love letters to share...

Homestay Testimonial
"Beyond Self-Care" - By Jan Kirini I've been travelling and staying with friends. A number of late nights, early mornings and plane rides. 2 days ago I was physically challenged to walk up Mt Maunganui but the view and the company was worth it! I'm coming into my moontime and I can feel my body beginning to crash. Time to check in with myself! I walk to the water, remove my shoes and find a comfortable tree branch to sit on... and stop! The many relationships I hold begin to settle in my mind... I am still. Back to basics. I need water, food and sleep but first I need warmth. I return to Pauline's and together we create a plan. Pauline draws my hot bath with essential oils and as I soak she prepares our dinner with plenty of veg and a good helping of love. So now all I need is sleep and my checklist is complete. I'm lovely and warm, been knocking back my water and my tummy is blessed and full. But this is beyond self-care... Pauline's treatment room is ready, warm soft lighting, soothing music and a big inviting table which I make myself very comfortable on. I am waxed up and rubbed and begin to feel my body loosen. Then the hot stones are introduced... Oh my goodness! She has such a wonder technique... what a wonderful penetrating warmth! My entire body is given attention and by the end I am only semi conscious. Just time to sit with my naked back to the fire as my most comfortable bed is prepared with hot water bottle and bedroom with the scent of fresh flowers. As you can imagine I awoke the next day from the best sleep. Deep gratitude to you Pauline, your hot stones rock and your hospitality is 1st class. Thank you for taking me beyond self-care! |

"Pauline's down to earth sense of humour and attitude to life, and the way in which she sets out to make one feel at ease with oneself is refreshing and endearing. Pauline also has a wealth of knowledge on various subjects relating to health and wellbeing, You get a feeling quite quickly that you are not just another soul passing through her door. Pauline takes a lot of pride in the experience that she creates for her clients. The feeling of acceptance and love that is received, leaves a person feeling at peace and at one with self. "Had a hot stone massage with Pauline today. Blissfully relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Highly recommended!" |
"Thanks for the great massage! Wishing you joy and happiness In life's journey" "Pauline works magic with her massage. A combination of both strength and sensitivity, her intuitive touch allows you to melt, relax and release all at once. I highly recommend her and her work." |
"Since making our first appointment with Pauline, both my wife and I have enjoyed a number of aromatherapy and hot stone massages. Her professional & pleasant manner has impressed us and we would recommend her to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Pleasant surroundings and her understanding of our physical and spiritual needs combine to make us want to return on a regular basis.
A trip into our beautiful countryside to visit her should be the beginning of a wonderful journey."

Athenree Homestay Testimonial
"ALEX AND ERIN'S HOLIDAY"
"During our holiday to New Zealand in late April 2013, we were privileged to spend a three-day couple's retreat in Athenree with Pauline.
Immediately on our arrival we were delighted with the serenity, privacy and peace of our surroundings. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood a few minutes from the water, in an otherwise unassuming house, Pauline allowed us to make her home ours and let the weight of the world whisk itself away. We were shown to a private room with incredibly comfortable furnishings, and later shared a cup of tea with her in the back garden, taking in the sea breeze and the tranquillity of the New Zealand countryside.
It is rare in my life that I am afforded the luxury of completely forgetting about the time of day and my everyday to-do list, but during my time at the retreat, both of these concepts were completely absent from my mind, other than a vague awareness of day and night. Such is the restfulness and beauty of the space which Pauline has created for her clients.
Pauline pays special attention to the little things that make for a truly unforgettable holiday experience. Besides the unbelievably comfortable king-size bed and the other house furnishings, she would ensure we were eating healthily, preparing delicious organic meals for us, and she would act as our guide and show us the sights and sounds of the area, as and when we were ready to come out of our little nest and explore them.
Then there was Pauline's decadent two-hour hot stone massage. I had never had anything quite like it before in my life, and was unsure about what to expect. But, as befits a graduate of Barbara Carrellas' Urban Tantra Professional Training Programme, Pauline demonstrated an unmatched ability to create and hold space for me, allowing me to unwind completely into her touch.
The heat of the river stones penetrating my muscles was all at once a shock and a release, and in a matter of minutes I felt the tightness that I have had in my shoulders and back for many years simply evaporate. I don't believe I have ever been more relaxed in my life as in those moments, and I don't believe I've had a better night's sleep than directly afterwards.
Pauline's retreat gave my partner and I the ability to truly focus on connecting with each other, with no need to worry about time, food or unnecessarily demanding holiday plans. Add to that the delicious, sensual experience of one of her special massages as part of the retreat, and you have a intensely grounding, deeply nurturing experience which I neither have the words to describe in adequate detail, nor can recommend highly enough.
Thank you, Pauline."
-Alex and Erin
