Hi! I’m Jayne
Dip. Natropathy and Herbal Medicine
Postnatal Doula
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 6 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, 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.
I’ve had my share of rough patches
Along my life path, Ive had my share of rough patches from severe anxiety, depression and divorce, which 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 25 years experience in earth based spirituality, crystal work and tarot reading. I incorporate ritual into my everyday life and create my own sacred space. I bring all of these skills and experience into my work with clients. I love meeting women, hearing their stories and holding space for them. It is a passion of mine to work with women to help lessen their feelings of anxiety, stress and help them to empower themselves by tuning and tapping into their own innate wisdom and soul medicine. It is an honour to walk alongside my clients on their journey to holistic health and wellness and to help them find their own magic in the mundane.
I firmly believe we are our own medicine and magic, we just need to remember how to tune into the voice of our own inner wise woman…
