Tapping into your innate self.

Intuitive Personalised Coaching — an open, heart-led conversation that gently loosens the patterns keeping you where you are, so a bolder, more nuanced version of you can show up.

This may be for you if you are…

  • Needing direction.
  • Repeating the same patterns.
  • Grieving someone special.
  • Wondering about the cosmic questions in life — and how they connect to you.

Reach out. There is space for you here.

About

My name is
Dana Mae.

I descend from ancestral lines of Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāi Te Rangi, Danish & Southern Ireland.

I've been intuitively coaching clients for the past few years. Before that — many years of advising, listening and offering loving support to friends, family and acquaintances. I also train small groups of women in fitness and wellbeing from my home gym.

I come from a family of five and grew up in Tauranga. My learning has come, mostly, from developing the ability to listen with an open heart, and a willingness to understand what sometimes stops us from moving forward.

Background

A cosmic world view.

My context for life is based on a cosmic world view — I see mySELF as a multidimensional human being on planet Earth, with skills and sensitivities (gained over lifetimes) that mainly live in the unseen realm.

When I was young there seemed to be no space for this view. Life was directed towards more mundane activities — fitting into the family, going to school, behaving in appropriate ways for the time and era. I struggled to learn that my view of the world was relatively unique, and I often rubbed up against others because of it.

As I've made my way through life, like-minded people have shown up and supported me, and I've embraced what I always innately knew. Through self-acceptance of my perspective I continue to see the truth of others — and I look forward to taking you on a journey toward a more contented life.

The Work

A typical session looks like…

  1. 01

    A conversation about now.

    We start with what's present — the situation you're in and how you're dealing with it. It's open. I listen and ask a few gentle questions to sense what else might be at play.

  2. 02

    Offering intuitive possibilities.

    I offer 'intuitive' possibilities that may have contributed to, or created, your current view. Never to make your thoughts and feelings invalid — just to shed light where there was none before.

  3. 03

    Tracing the pattern.

    Often we can trace back to where a particular view has come from. That new-found awareness can be inspiring in and of itself, and begins a process of establishing new ways to interrupt or alter those familiar patterns.

  4. 04

    A lightness returns.

    There are always threads in other aspects of life that benefit from the newly gained perspective — a sense of lightness arises as you see from another view point. A new way of engaging with yourSELF, and in turn, the world opens up.

The Practice

Experiential, not textbook.

I believe we're all here to learn and progress by developing ourselves and being willing to support each other. That looks different for every person — and covers a wide spectrum of how we, as humans, deal with life.

My own path has been experiential rather than textbook — though I've read widely on human behaviour and the mind, body & soul connection.

Let's meet

A relaxed cuppa first.

I'm very happy to have a meet-and-greet — a relaxed cuppa, to see how you feel and whether I'm the right person, right now, for you to work with.

Reach out with a little about yourself and what's present for you. I'll come back to you personally.
