About Us

Our Story • A Holistic Approach • Our Services

Our story began with the realisation that the world of today doesn’t always hold space for us to truly stand in our power when it comes to our health and well-being.

There is a profound diversity in what we as individuals learn when it comes to health, life, and how best to look after ourselves with the vessel and opportunities we are given.

Empowered You is an exploration and pursuit of holistic self-care, giving you the tools, care, and knowledge, to step in to your power and be the force that steers your life’s waka.

A holistic approach

Health is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional, and it encompasses not just your physical health, but all elements of your life as well. For example, the word "health" can be used to refer to your physical body, your mental well-being, your sense of 'self', your connection to your family and community, your financial stability, and pursuing/meeting your life goals.

In Māoritanga (Māori culture) there exists a model of health called Te Whare Tapa Whā, which also looks at health in a holistic way. This model depicts a wharenui (meeting house) to symbolise cornerstones of health, and the need for all these elements to be in balance for hauora (health, well-being) to prevail.

Health challenges in one area can often have an effect on other areas. For example, a physical injury can also have a negative affect on mental well-being. But this can also be true for positive influences, such as quality time with loved ones being able to help improve mental well-being.

By looking at the concept of health in a holistic way, and understanding how the various components in our lives are interconnected and influence each other, we can each begin the journey of self-exploration, self-care, self-determination, and self-empowerment.
