With over 14 years of experience in recovery, Im currently working within a kaupapa Māori service, I bring a deep commitment to culturally grounded, holistic, and strength-based approaches. Since 2013, I have worked across the mental health and addiction sectors in various roles, including senior peer support and management positions.

My practice is informed by lived experience, cultural values, and professional development. I am passionate about integrating mātauranga Māori and te ao Māori into healing and recovery pathways, and like to incorporate a relaxed, friendly, fun space, supervision does not have to be boring.

Over the past six years, I have provided mentoring and coaching to peers and colleagues, and for the last three years, I have offered professional supervision. My approach to supervision is reflective, empowering, and relationship-focused, supporting supervisees to build on their strengths, navigate challenges, and grow in their roles. Looking forward to meeting you and making sure we are a good fit to work well together to get the best out of supervision.
