It would entail a couple of complimentary sessions with myself, usually about an hour each. In return, there will be a form that you would need to complete which is easy peasy and no stress :). This would definitely help me complete my studies which is a passion of mine. If you often self sabotage & not sure why or maybe you lack self confidence & need to prioritize yourself again or a bit of clarity in your life is required then we could be a good fit. If you're curious to know more, then definitely get in touch. I'm based on the shore however can travel. Really appreciate the help :). With a smile ✌.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.
