Maxine's journey into mental health and holistic counselling began after a life-altering event that shifted her perspective and deepened her understanding of the human experience. This pivotal moment set her on a path dedicated to healing and supporting others, a path she has walked for over a decade.

Through her years of service, Maxine developed a profound connection to her ancestral roots, which guided her toward occupying this sacred space. She has answered the call from her ancestors, blending modern healing techniques with time-honored traditions to create a practice that is both deeply personal and rooted in cultural wisdom.

Trained in a diverse range of healing modalities, including Womb Wellness and Massage, Rongoā Māori, Shamanic Herbalism, Metaphysical Medicine, and Lomi Lomi Massage, Maxine draws on a broad spectrum of knowledge to support those she serves.

Her spiritual journey began in childhood, where she was deeply influenced by the teachings of her grandmother and the experience of working on her family’s land in Omaramutu, Opotiki. These formative years instilled in her a profound connection to the land, her heritage, and the wisdom of her ancestors, all of which continue to shape her practice today.

Maxine’s holistic approach honors the body, mind, and spirit, guiding each individual toward healing, self-discovery, and balance. Her work is a beautiful fusion of ancient wisdom and modern healing practices, creating a safe, nurturing space for others to reconnect with their true selves.
