💚 Intuitive Wellbeing Session to resolve the loss of a loved one
Grief is real and grief is often misunderstood or blocked and can affect us for life if we don't ask for help. If you heard or have a partner who is not the same since the passing of a loved one, a parent for example, that's because part of you or them isn't there. Part of you or them has been lost. What happens with loss is that time heals but it doesn't if we don't manage the grief in a proactive healthy manner. You or your partner may act as if it happened yesterday, yet it happened a few months ago, 2 years ago or many years ago. It's like you or your partner have never been the same again. This is where I can help, part of you is left in the past and sometimes most of you so you are here but you are actually not present. You are no longer emotionally available or only partly. This affects your entourage, your kids, your family, your work, your business, your life. Sounds familiar? We can hold on to a loved one, a parent for years, I know I did until I met someone who helped me all these years ago. I had not let go of a feeling that was not serving me, but holding me back. I don't want you to make the same mistake. Life is here and now and meant to be lived. Loosing loved ones is part of our journey. So if you or your partner needs support, I can help, even in only one session, I can bring peace and bring you back to be more of you and in the present with your life now. You don't have to keep struggling or keep seeing someone you love struggling when there are ways to honour grief but not lose you or partner in the process.
Take care,

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
