  • We have a juicy episode for you today my loves. A slightly different format than our usual episodes.

    Ya gurl fell in love, and this is our story. I called in a super aligned energetic match - and have been in a love and healing portal this summer.

    I have felt so expanded by the journey that I had to bring it to the pod.

    This is a two part episode, the first one is juicy soft feminine vibe that has lessons woven throughout.

    We speak into the realms of tūrangawaewae and ūkaipō, recognising and trusting synchronicities, building trust through intamacy and men developing emotional intelligence to support holding a women with emotional depth.

    Shay is a thought leader, keynote speaker and entrepreneur from mixed European and Maori ancestry. He has been working on some big missions to create impact including economic empowerment of Māori communities through founding Te Whare Hukaka, helping shift our education system, and more recently food sovereignty and resilience through a nutrition venture called elemental food, providing daily nutrition from natural superfoods. He has been an advisor and coach to hundreds of organisations leaders and has a wealth of concepts around personal growth and development.

    And if I do say so myself, he’s the perfect match for me.

    Part two is out next Wednesday - we enter more into the masculine space, with really tangible and practical concepts that we have been working with to bring a deep sense of trust and safety.

    What we cover:

    How are tūrangawaewae and ūkaipo different? Preparing for an aligned partnership Trusting and following synchronicities Honouring the season of healing that you're in and not rushing connection Releasing judgment about expectations or outcomes in potential partners Men developing emotional intelligence to support holding a women with emotional depth Building trust through intimacy

  • Kia ora honeys, welcome to Āio. Grateful you are here.

    In todays epsiode we are exploring Cranio-Sacral therapy, a non-invasive form of medicine that focuses on the manipulation and balancing of the craniosacral system.

    It works on the nervous system, and if you are on any kind of healing journey you will know the impact of cultivating a calm working nervous system.

    I am joined today by Jaqs Clarke, a practicing cranio-sacral therapist with an introduction to the Fundamentals of Cranial Osteopathy through the Centre for Continuing Education Osteopathy in Canada. She is deeply attuned to brain health, because she believes that tuning the bio- rhythmic coherence in the cranio-structure is not only essential for overall health, but also for our spiritual evolution both individually and collectively.

    We unpack what the fluid field is, what ailments you might be experiencing to see a cranio-sacral therapist and how this work can affect your whole system, a true holistic practice. We explore how water systems in cities mirror the water systems inside of us, how galaxies are strange attractors and the importance of drinking good water.

    What we cover:
    What is CranioSacral Therapy

  • Moving our mindset to a more indigenous view will help heal this world. From education to agriculture, from mental health to being community led. The indigenous view communicates our oneness with nature, it highlights a holistic approach and awakens ancient medicine.

    Today I am speaking to Amelia Butler, an educator and lover of Māori culture and language. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree and Māori Land Law degree from the University of Auckland. She lives on Turtle Island (USA) and runs a business called Learn Māori Abroad, teaching Māori and non Māori about Māori culture, language, haka and poi.

    She is on a mission to educate about the term “reindigenisation” and feels it is a powerful word to reclaim our Māoritanga. How can we move away from centering the colonisor on our reclamation journey and instead feed ourselves with indigenous practices to develop a more indigenous mindset and way of living.

    Whether you are on your Te Reo Māori journey or curious about indigenous culture this episode is hugely educational, insightful and inspiring.

    WHAT WE COVER:

    - Starting arted her business - Learn Māori Abroad
    - Amelias Te Reo Māori Journey
    - Reindigenisation as opposed to decolonisation
    - What are you left with after decolonisation?
    - Grieving the impact of colonisation has had on our whakapapa
    - A perspective shift about viewing our pakeha ancestors
    - The weaving of Māori culture and Native American culture
    - Wāhine’s place in the haka
    - Cultural appropriation of the haka
    - Hine Moana Nui

  • Do you get intuitive dreams? Sense and feel things that can't be seen? You're not alone honey.

    Derek John Thompson is a fully qualified registered practitioner in both Usui Reiki (Advanced Master Teacher) and Karuna Reiki. He is also a certified BodyTalk Practitioner, MiriMiri Massage Therapist and includes Sacred Healing in his sessions.

    This one is out the gate, and I LOVE it. We talk about all the esoteric “woo woo” stuff that I adore. So many of us experience similar things in our lives yet we shame them away or listen to the mainstream narrative that says this is taboo or “wrong”. And I'm here to tell you you are not wrong or weird for having these experiences. You are completely valid in your experience and you'd be surprised to hear more people than you think live this as truth.

    A patient and effective teacher – Derek has attuned and trained many new Reiki practitioners.He runs courses for Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki Master regularly throughout the year.

    What we cover:

    Derek discovering his intuitive gifts

  • In today’s episode, we are talking about education and decolonisation.
    Two massive topics. Let’s dive in.

    We talk about creating a pepeha as a pakeha person in Aotearoa and the unique experience of being pakeha that attended a full immersion Māori school.

    On the podcast, today is Kiridwen (Kiri) Olds.
    She passionate about education, social justice and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
    Kiri graduated from Victoria University in 2015 with a BA in Environmental Studies, Te Reo Māori and Māori Studies, and received her Masters of Teaching and Learning with Distinction from AUT in 2021. Her passion for education stems from a belief that our tamariki are powerful motivators for change, individually, within whānau, and across communities. She believes that it is important, now more than ever, for our tamariki to grow up with a strong connection, understanding and respect for Papatūānuku and a belief that what they do makes a difference.

    She has been involved in many community organisations including as co-director of The Brothers & Sisters Collective (a creative collective that works across community, arts, and education).

    We discuss a fascinating philosophy called ‘The Pikler Theory’ that surrounds infants and children, and the need for change in our educational system.

    Kiri co-facilitates courses about the Te Tiriti of Waitangi and discusses her position as a tangata o te Tiriti and how that plays into her obligation to educate on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

    Kiri is one of my closest friends, I am honoured to bring this conversation to you.

    What we cover:
    Creating a pepeha as a Pakeha person in Aotearoa
    Children's rights
    The education system in Aotearoa
    The Pikler Theory and how it can support infants and toddlers
    Language with our kids
    Consent with children
    Culture needs to match biology
    Emotional Literacy in schools
    The Treaty of Waitangi
    - Kiri’s unique position of being a Tangata o Te Tiriti & educating on the nuances of this agreement
    -Tangata o Te Tiriti (people of the Treaty), where do you belong?

  • Matauranga Māori | Wisdom & Māori Knowledge

    Today’s episode is epic, iconic if you will. The essence of Āio’s values and purpose shines so brightly in this episode. I am deeply honored and humbled to bring it to you.

    I am talking to Eve Ahearn, she is of Tainui descent with whakapapa to Ngati Te Ata and Ngati Apakura, she comes from a long line of strong wāhine and matriarchal leadership. As a kaimirimiri and kaiwhitiwhitikoorero her work supports her people to forge better relationships with themselves and others. Eve weaves together her expertise in Brain Based Coaching and Rongoā Māori so that the trauma of the mind and of the trauma of the body are explored and healed in tandem to create long term transformation for the people she works with.

    She is a mama of two, a partner, a daughter, a sister, a friend and, like many of our magical indigenous waahine, has taken on the role of healing the intergenerational trauma in her whānau.

    We chat about some of my favorite topics, from understanding the masculine & feminine in all of us, exploring the dynamic relationship between physical pain and emotional pain and that powerful notion that you are your own healer.

    What we cover:

    What is Mirimiri?
    The haerenga (journey) to be coming a kai mirimiri (mirimiri practitioner)
    Being challenged by the pakeha system in Rongoa Maori
