A little about me...

At my core, I am a nurturer, a healer, and an intuitive, and bring these traits to my therapeutic massage work and the uplifting and visionary motivational guidance sessions I offer.

My massage qualifications were gained in Melbourne at the Melbourne College of TAFE and my acupressure point work (similar to deep tissue massage) at the Shiatsu College, also in Melbourne. I also completed an intensive five-day Thai Massage Course in Chang Mai, Thailand, and have taught massage through the Prema Ayurveda Clinic, so you can be assured that you are in comfortable hands.

I gained a BA in Sociology and Asian Studies. Several years later when my son was young, I took creative writing and film papers at Massey University; tools I call on in my coaching work to uplift and inspire you.

 Way Back When...

 

Alongside my massage work, when my son started school, I wrote and published my first children's book, I Love Myself, endorsed by Suzy Cato.

 

I continue to write and publish my books to this day, as instilling a greater sense of self-worth in all ages, is something that I am passionate about.

The I Love series comprising I Love Myself, I Love My Family and I Love My Dog is available on our books page and from Amazon.

An as-yet-unpublished 10-part picture book series, Oliver Blue™ is currently in the developmental stage, and my dream is to bring this series to life via an animated series. The first picture book in this series is currently being illustrated and is set for release in late 2023.

Priscilla Takes Flight is the first story from the Priscilla & Friends series and has recently been released. This story is about friendship, fun, and inclusion, where no one gets left behind.

I Am Me Unique & Free - a book about resiliency and self-esteem for littles is another recent release adored by many. This book has provided comfort and care to children uplifted from unsafe homes and taken to safety.

 

My entertaining rhyming book, There's a Mouse in the House, is about inclusion and belonging. The children and father in the story are Pacifica characters. When little, my son saw little representation of himself in books so this is something that I am passionate about addressing in mine.

I'm excited to announce that Stepping Into Love - a journey to self-healing motivational book is now available to purchase directly from the books page here on this website, and from Amazon, as is our Your Stepping into Love Workbook.

The Thankfulness Journal a book explaining the importance of gratitude and thankfulness has just been released in time for those wanting to give a Thanksgiving gift. It is available from Amazon.

We are located at 24 Roberts Ave, Bayswater 0622, a hop, skip, and jump away from Devonport, Auckland. For any email inquiries, please email angela@truepotential.co.nz
