Wildflowers are untamed, vibrant and resilient. They bloom in unexpected places, carried by unseen winds, rooted in soil both wild and sacred. That’s the spirit behind Wildflowers Alchemy: a sanctuary for the soul, a weaving of earth and energy, and a remembering of the wisdom that lives within us all.
So, who are we?
We are space-holders, energy-workers, soul-guides.
We are breath and body, root and ritual.
We are for the wanderers returning home to themselves.
For the ones who’ve felt the call to rise, rewild, and remember.
Wildflowers Alchemy was born from a journey of deep transformation. An unraveling and reweaving of what it means to be embodied, to be the ceremony, to be wildly untamed yet led by a strong regulated compass.
Guided by the cycles of our Great Mama Earth and the wisdom of the body, our offerings have grown organically; from hands-on healing sessions and embodiment practices to ritual workshops, rongoā rākau, herbology and soul-centred programs that honour the rhythm and wildness in us all.
We honour Indigenous wisdom, nature’s medicine, and the intelligence of the body, to support each person in reclaiming their intuitive power and unique path.
So, how did we get here?
We got here by listening.
To the whispers of spirit.
To the pulse beneath the noise.
To the ache for more depth, more breadth.
We got here by walking the spiral
By meeting with our shadow and re-integrating the exiled parts
Through shedding, softening, remembering, and rising.
And now we’re here to walk beside you.
Holding a mirror to your own innate alchemy.
Because you are the medicine.
You are the rhythm.
And we are simply here to remind you.

My Personal Story
Honestly, I was a farm girl and I must have walked the corridors of four primary schools before the age of 9. This wee farm girl with messy hair, who loved standing in cow patties, who talked with her spirit friends and sung made up songs to the language of her soul. I'd be lying if I said I fitted in. I didn't. And, back then, I though that mattered. It turns out, it doesn't. I embrace my unique qualities and tastes now. It has taken an incredibly long time to learn myself, to feel comfortable in my skin and to feel secure in my weirdness!
The road has been arduous and seriously, I wouldn't exchange if I could. This hikoi (journey) has been gifted to me so that I may share the wisdom within my soul, with you. So that I may share the tools that supported my journey, with you. So that I may offer you a doorway, back home to yourself.
I was 15 when I became a Mama. Damn!! I have a son that is about to turn 15, and an almost 13-year-old daughter. I'm really entirely not sure how I did it. Yet, I did. I was a dedicated Mama, out to prove to the World, that I could do this... I did, I studied and worked. This continues to be my path. I am here, breathing in this beautiful life, surrendering to every process and every will. Sometimes with great resistance before I fully give to the surrender. I love learning, through the mirrors and reflections that you are, all around me, and through study, whether it be a weekend Wananga, an evening connect or an extended program. The more I learn, the more deeply I embody this ancient wisdom and am able to share integrated healing and practices with you.
My beautiful daughter, Thalia. She gifted me the opportunity to be a Mama, to love, cherish and show up for her. She gifted me the chance to redirect my life, to one of meaning and healing.
Five years ago, she was in a car crash and it was her time to go. Somehow, through all the blur that was the week of her tangi, we celebrated her life with so much depth and love. Many of us felt that portal open, the veil thinning and her spirit communing with us. My whole world was flipped upside down, spun around and placed back down on its axis with a thud!
Five years later. I am grateful. I am blessed. I am loved. I am love. I have been given the gift of life and death very poignantly!
This hikoi has given me a choice.
The choice to shape my life around grief.
To understand and yet not understand.
To feel immense heartbreak and yet allow my heart to be open and expansive.
To accept that with death comes rebirth.
To love without risk.
To play without containment.
To honour the chance I have to live.
To feel deep meaning in my life.
To return to my centre.
And, if I can be a guide for you to bring you back to your centre, to your compass, to your true essence, then I shall be that guide, to support you to return to your remembering, your ancient wisdom, your embodiment.
