Shedding an old skin

It's been just 1 month since I landed in the region

Otaki - my ancestral lands

from the North , Mangawhai

I kept feeling like I was trying to aclimitize

I've moved around alot in my lifetime

So I thought I would just slip easily into this move

The first two weeks were quite high speed

and for me a lot of outward activities and connecting

with whanau (family) friends and new friends and the whenua (land)

I held my first Scream Club here at Otaki beach

which was both intimate, sacred and cathartic

with the awhi (support) of the sea, the whenua and good people

All the while feeling like I was trying to aclimtize

like I had been flying at 10,000 feet before Otaki

and now how I had to fly at a different altitude

and adjust myself

and how it felt to me

not to be able to find my slip stream

and start flowing in it

Then it hit the deep purging in the physical form of a virus thing

With a hella knarly big ass cough

that has lurked around for a couple of weeks

There were a few days where I was laid flat

and I felt like I was falling down a dark void

In shamanic terms what I was experiencing is called a "dismembering"

-meaning a fundamental, symbolic archetype of spiritual death and rebirth

experienced during a shamanic initiation, illness, or ecstatic journey.

bascially the shedding of an old identity to make way for the new...

Even though I knew this at the time

there were moments where it felt scarey

like I was being shoved head first into a deep shoot

into the dark, the void

My arms trying desperately to grasp on to anything familiar

to no avail

trusting this process in my new surroundings was testing

I could feel myself inside and out deeply shedding an old skin

but not yet feeling my new skin there with me

yet

and layered amongst this experience was a deep grieving

of my old life

It was in those darkest moments

I felt my Tupuna (ancestors) and beloved whanau (family) on the other side with me

as flecks of light

and hope

during this the first snow fell on my Maunga (mountain)

heralding in the Winter

it felt deeply significant to be laying at the feet of my maunga

ancestral lands

during this process

I am getting a small sense of the other side of this now

where I am living at the moment I am surrounded by the most beauful Maori art

and treasures

amongst many things I am looking forward to reigniting this side of me again

I let my Artist side sleep for a while

But my "way through" from experiencing life with big feelings

and big experiences was always diving into Art

and using movement to help me to process my experiences

on Tuesday night I start dance here at the local Hall

Oh how my  love of waltzing and foxtrot and all those old fashionsed dances has always stayed with me

The dancer in me can't wait

Thank you for being with me on this journey I hope you may have found something

useful or meaningful in here for YOU too

Arohanui

(((hugs))))))

A move south to Otāki

💛Kia ora e te whānau (friends & family)

I’ve been quiet.

A little absent from this space, not because I had disappeared, but because life called me into a big and unexpected transition.

Just over 10 days ago, I packed up my life in Mangawhai, back into storage and made the journey south to Ōtaki.

This possibility first whispered to me back in February. I explored it then, but the timing wasn’t right. The door remained closed. And then, as life so often does, everything shifted.

The path opened, the pieces fell into place, and it became clear that it was time to move.

So I’ve spent these past days gathering, packing, letting go, travelling, arriving, and slowly landing.

For now, this feels like exactly where I need to be.

For my mahi.

for my whānau

for me.

And perhaps most deeply, for my whakapapa.

As someone who whakapapa into Ngāti Raukawa - Otāki (this is one of my tribes, and my ancestral lands) there is something profound about waking each day beneath the gaze of my maunga (mountain )- the Tararua’s, being beside the waters that have known my tupuna (ancestors), and within the embrace of the whenua (land) that remembers my people.

It feels less like arriving somewhere new and more like being welcomed home by something ancient….my ancestors.

💛My last post spoke about stepping more fully into sharing my Matekite journey and leaning into the vulnerability of being seen.

Then life had other plans, and all of my energy turned towards this move and everything it required.

Now, as I slowly unpack and settle into new rhythms, I can feel another chapter beginning.

A quieter one.

A deeper one.

One that asks me to listen carefully.

To root myself more fully into who I am.

To honour where I come from and where I am being called.

Thank you for your patience while I’ve been away, and thank you for walking alongside me, whether from near or far.

I’m looking forward to sharing more from this beautiful place, this chapter, and from my journey that continues to unfold.

Arohanui,

Lisa

🤍🕊️🤍

“Sometimes the path doesn’t ask us to know where we’re going. It simply asks us to trust the call home.”

That’s certainly is true for me- in the way that this come about so quickly.

💛huge aroha to my nearest and dearest friends and whanau, arohamai I didn’t get to tell you all seperately - I was thinking of you annnnnnd I was getting my head around making this transition so swiftly…..and I felt this pull to go quite inwards with it all - and just land💛love youuuuu💛

Phone session

May 2026

I had my session with Lisa yesterday. JUST WOW!!!. there are no words to articulate what happens in these sessions.

However, just know that you are taken on the most beautiful, healing journey imaginable.

You are safe, held and protected by your Kaitiaki (guardians) and Tipuna (ancestors) as well as Lisa’s.

I got to connect with my late father, and it was the most surreal and multifaceted experience to date.

I am extremely grateful for you!. I felt the most purest form of Mauri Ora (life force)

Lisa your beautiful smile matches your wairua.

Thank you to my favourite sister who brought me this experience for Mother’s Day.

I am a blessed wahine(woman)

xox.

Update

Kia ora whanau and friends

I have edited this post so many times in the past week I now just need to push post

In the spirit of keeping it real, I've included both a posed photo and a real-life one as well. Cos it matters to me -keeping it real.

So I’ve been a bit quiet in this social media space recently. I’ve been working away in the background in my much-loved mahi (work) in 1:1 sessions.

and come full circle and landed back living in Mangawhai.

And honestly, both my ngakau (heart) and my tinana (body) and wairua (spirit) are so happy and relieved.

It feels good to be back amongst the familiarity of this whenua (land) and the beautiful souls I call friends here.

It’s been a big and busy time since moving out of Mangawhai in early November. I’ve been living, staying, and working all around the motu (island) -from Mangawhai to Wellington, Ōtaki, Pipiriki~Whanganui, Karekare, Ponsonby, Wainui,-Auckland, Turangi… and then ending up back here again in Mangawhai.

It’s been a huge season of deep shedding of the past. Lots of looking inward. Solitary moments. Deeply connecting with my ancestral land in Ōtaki and Pipiriki. Connecting with family and friends and appreciating their kindness and aroha along the way.

As always walking hand in hand with my tūpuna (ancestors) kaitiaki (guardians) and beloved whanau (family) on the other side.

I have come to know myself more while releasing deep patterns of shame and grief- personally and intergenerationally- amongst many other things.

And yes… definitely a bit more grey hair

Hopefully some wisdom earned alongside it all.

I’ve been brought to my knees many times over these last six months. Deeply humbled. Cried many tears. Shared big hugs and lots of aroha (love) with friends and whānau… and sometimes disagreements too, all in the name of healing.

I had to leave Mangawhai- the place that held me through so much since 2017-to eventually return a little worn out, but with my heart filled up. Carrying many lovely memories tucked beneath my wings, having shed a lot of mamae (pain and sadness) along the way.

As I dug deep into my own journey,iIt’s been a privilege to walk beside my clients as they navigate their own seasons of grief, healing, courage, endings, beginnings, and remembrance of who they are.

Holding space for their healing, their shedding, their navigating through hard moments, and witnessing their beautiful growth too.

So now… it feels good to be still again.

To reconnect with the whenua (land) that I love so dearly

With dear friends

and continue with my Te Reo (Maori language) classes

be cosy for Winter and gently process and integrate my haeranga (journey) and learnings.

Take care of you,

Arohanui (lotsa love)

Lisa

Trigger warning- Phone client testimonial

Lisa was able to confirm for me that I was sexually abused when I was young.

She had done the same thing for my cousin. I always knew it was true but I was told to keep quiet about it when I spoke to my caregiver about it. So I doubted myself.

Then we did a Soul retrieval as he stole so much of my childhood and I also asked around all my cousins if he had done it to them too.

I’m getting my life back.

Testimonial

for Lisa Jane

As a first timer for connecting with people that have passed away I had no expectations whatsoever

Lisa set up my consultation with her in a calm, polite, thoughtful, mindful way putting me instantly at ease.

That included where we sat and set up the room, being a “in person consultation”

It was very comforting for me to connect with and ask key questions that I had for my family members and friends who had passed and receive answers.

In addition to ask about my future. I received very strong messages of being looked after, fiercely protected and guided.

I would recommend Lisa for her skills and expertise in connecting with family and friends from the other side.

With respect

Take care of yourself through this New Year time

🌺As we move into the New Year, I feel called to remind us to reach out to those we love — our whānau, friends, and the ones who may be holding things quietly.

While Christmas can be difficult, New Year can feel even heavier for many.

There’s often an expectation that once the year turns over, we should feel hopeful, excited, and ready for a fresh start.

For some, that pressure can deepen feelings of loneliness, grief, and overwhelm.

If someone comes to mind, please reach out.

A simple message, a call, or letting them know they matter can mean more than you realise.

And if this time feels isolating or heavy for you, please know you’re not alone.

Be gentle with yourself. There is no right way to begin a new year. Take things one moment at a time, and reach out to me or a trusted friend for support if you need it.

Holding you all with care and compassion

Arohanui

Lisa

Thoughts on the Christmas period

Christmas and New Year is often a really tough time for many

It’s not spoken about enough

There is an intense pressure on people and families

to be together

to spend money on presents, travelling and food

Expectations are at an all time high

Behind those Christmas family photos is often a lot of pain, pressure and heartache

Many people chose to spend this time alone

A lot of people have to spend this time alone

Domestic violence goes sky high

If you are struggling or feeling alone - I see you

I always have so many mixed emotions at this time of the year

I always have

A mix of excitement and dread because of the expectations

that sit so closely alongside each other

When there is so much expectation for it all to be sunshine and rainbows

Take care of yourself and go gently

Arohanui

Divine encounters

Living in the big city - Auckland -now for around six weeks

Working remotely as always

And super looking forward to setting up my next clinic in the New Year too

Each day you'll find me on my breaks searching out beautiful big trees and flowers

Street flowers

I especially love Gardenia

how they smell is just so divine

There I was walking in the very early morning sunshine

on my search for beautiful trees and flowers to be near

When an older lady come around the corner towards me holding a Gardenia

If you know me

You know I love to chat to everyone

Oh I said I love Gardenias

Yes she said so do I as she smelled the gardenia and offered it to me to smell also

Then she said the most divine thing ever- do you know that Gardenia are the flowers of Angels. So everytime you see Gardenia you know that the Angels are with you!

I loved this so much - even more so as right at that moment we arrived outside her friends house - that was lined with hundreds of Gardenia bushes in full bloom.

I noticed she was wearing a cross, before we parted ways she looked me right in the eye with so much kindness in her heart and wished me a magical day, and then she was gone.

This encounter has really stayed with me. It felt divinely sent from above.

A kind thought

Be kind

everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

In my clients words

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have Lisa by my side through both the heavy moments and the ones where life felt light again.

Her calm, caring presence and genuine compassion created a space where I could release so much of the negative energy I was carrying. I always walked away feeling grounded, supported, and gently refocused at the time I needed it most.

Lisa has a beautiful ability to truly listen — to make you feel seen, heard, and understood — and the wisdom she shares cuts through the noise in such a meaningful way.

Her guidance helped me reconnect with myself at a really important point in my life.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and her services to anyone seeking comfort, clarity, or direction. She is a rare gift.”

Lisa - Jane Myers

I’m excited to share a little life update

I’ve recently moved from beautiful Mangawhai down to Auckland’s North Shore.

It’s lovely to be closer to my grand daughter and two of my four children.

While this is a new chapter for my work and daily life, one thing remains exactly the same: I’m still here for you.

I continue to offer online and phone sessions for clients everywhere — just as always.

Distance doesn’t change the work, the connection, or the healing.

My offerings remain the same:

• In-depth counselling

• Hokinga Wairua — Māori Shamanic Soul Retrieval

• Psychic medium readings

• Shamanic healing sessions

• Pet communication

• Grief counselling & support

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Weaving through grief

A few years ago now

I experienced a sudden loss

my life as I knew it was turned upside down

the grief was so immense and often unbearable

I knew what I needed was to keep my hands busy through it

busy creating

to support in bringing myself gently through the grief

I took to weaving these beautiful puti puti

day and night

in amongst my work

my life,

I would weave and weave

cry

shed more tears

all the while keeping my hands busy

and watching my space turn into a mountain of woven puti puti

I have always turned to flowers

for beauty, comfort, support

as gifts

in my first job I was trained as a Florist

a gift passed down on my Fathers side

then came the creation of a huge funeral casket spray

from all the woven putiputi (flowers)

which somehow felt siginificant

as I was grieving

this sat in amongst my space as well

Sometimes I wished I didn’t feel things so deeply

but then this gives me the ability to sense and feel into the subtle realms and supports me in my mahi wairua (spiritual work)

still now I’ll reach for the harakeke (flax) and turn to weaving when things are challenging

Or there is some sadness sitting on my heart

that I can shift,

through this beautiful practice of weaving.

For you~

May you see yourself the way the people who love you the most in this world - see you.

🌺Mental Health Awareness Week 🌺

This week is a reminder that mental health is not something “out there” — it’s something we all live and breathe every day.

It’s the quiet moments when we finally exhale.

The tears we didn’t expect.

The courage it takes to ask for help.

And the strength it takes to keep going when life feels heavy.

Let’s keep checking in on one another — with genuine space to listen and care.

This week, may we each find moments to slow down, rest.

To listen to what our wairua (spirit) is whispering.

To reach out, connect, and receive support — because none of us are meant to walk this path alone.

Let’s remember that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone, and that’s okay.

Be gentle with yourself this week.

You are doing better than you think.

🌺

✨Testimonial

✨Hokinga wairua-Māori Shamanic soul retrieval ✨

I’m very grateful for the guidance that Lisa gave me, confirming my knowings, giving me new information and triggering some recollections for me.

The healing was amazing. The session was so touching and emotional as it filled a major gap for me. A part of my soul really was retrieved. I feel it was a bigger part

than I had imagined.

I am feeling so much lighter. Thank you for making my connection with my great, great grandfather even more special.

I appreciate that Lisa went out in the wind to the Totara tree for me. That was an incredible spiritual experience for me.
