Welcome to the blog
This is a space for honest kōrero (chat) —where I share reflections, and real‑life experiences from my mahi (work) as a mediator.
I write from the heart, drawing on what I’ve learned sitting with whānau (family) in difficult moments.
Inspired by my ‘nanny farm’ (pictured) who raised nine tamariki (children) and countless mokopuna (grandchildren).
The Imperfect Family: Finding Strength and Love in the Messiness
I used to believe the perfect family meant no conflict, no hurt, no hard conversations. But over time, I’ve learned that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, even when it’s messy. This blog is a reflection on real family, real connection, and why I believe in healing through conversation.
