Hi! I’m Jayne
Dip. Natropathy and Herbal Medicine
AromaScience, Permaculture Design, Brainspotting Practitioner
Though I have long had an interest in natural health and wellness, I started off my career as a Nanny and then an Early Childhood teacher. I enjoyed teaching for several years before leaving to start my own family. During my time as a stay at home Mum, my family and I moved to Vanuatu and I ended up having four amazing children. Whilst my children were young and I was at home, I studied aromascience (the study of essential oils, how to use essential oils and formulate them in a range of products for clients). As my children grew older and needed to attend schooling we moved back to New Zealand and settled in the beautiful Hawkes Bay. Due to the wonderful climate and abundance of fruits and vegetables, I became passionate about growing my own food in a sustainable manner and studied permaculture design under Geoff Lawson.
My love of growing medicinal herbs
I then started working in a local permaculture nursery (shoutout to Kahikatea Farm!), which rekindled my love of growing medicinal herbs for use in healing teas. A conversation with a family member, led me to be encouraged to study Naturopathy and herbal medicine, so that I might start to help not only my own family but the wider community learn to use natural health to live their best life. Naturopathy and herbal medicine are such a huge passion of mine, Since completing my Naturopathic studies, I have also completed Postnatal Doula training, QRA Training (Quantum Reflex Analysis is a form of kinesiology that is used for muscle testing) and Phase one training in Brainspotting- a non invasive technique that supports people process emotions and trauma via eye movements.
I’ve had my share of rough patches
Along my life path, Ive had my share of rough patches from severe anxiety, depression, divorce and later on I experienced a huge scare with intense burn out after a few years in my “dream job.” This led me to invest a lot of time and money in healing my own emotions and mindset stories and beliefs. Seeing the power of holding space for both myself and others, has strengthened my belief that we all have the wisdom, magic and medicine we need inside us, we just need support and guidance to bring these qualities to the surface.
Earth based spirituality, crystal work and tarot reading
This is where I come in. Complimenting the skills mentioned above, I also have 3 years experience in sound healing and 25 years experience in earth based spirituality, crystal work and tarot reading. In addition I have also been studying Druidry and Celtic languages and Mythology. From this strong spiritual grounding, I incorporate both ritual and create sacred space to help enhance my everyday life.
When working with clients I bring all of these skills and experience into my sessions ~ so it is important that if you are considering becoming my client, that you are open to working holistically and are comfortable bringing spirituality into the mix. I love meeting women, hearing their stories and holding space for them, confidentiality is absolutely assured. It is a passion of mine to work with women to help lessen their feelings of anxiety, stress and helping them to empower themselves by tuning and tapping into their own innate wisdom and soul medicine.
The journey of learning continues…
I am currently studying functional kinesiology ~ this allows me to bring all of my skills together in a more integrated, aligned and cohesive way. This evolving work deepens my ability to support the body’s wisdom and will form a strong foundation to the holistic care I offer. I cannot wait to be able to offer these sessions and the gentle, yet profound shifts they will create!
