My story

Kia ora, my name is Penny. I am blessed to live in Lake Tekapo, surrounded by the grandeur of snow-capped mountains and deep blue lakes. My story weaves together passions that have been with me all my life.

 

I have always loved to move; to swim, run, jump and climb; I love food and family gatherings; I love wide open spaces and adventures; I love to learn and to share what I have learnt with others. Amidst the passionate energy of ‘doing’; I also love the spaciousness of alone time, tuning into the quiet still voice that grounds me and gives me hope for the future.

Along the journey I have learnt many things that influence the shape of my Wellness work. I learnt through a period of disordered eating; that we are not what we look like, and we can not control the world outside by controlling what we do to our bodies. I have learnt through struggles with mental health, that staying connected to the quiet still voice helps me through.  I have learnt through ill-fitted jobs that is important to love your work and find joy in each day. I have learnt through mountain adventures, that nature is healing and inspiring. I have learnt through raising three children that sharing your honest stories is a powerful way of supporting one another.

“I was born with a belief that we all have a purpose. I believe my purpose is to share my passions and learnings with you; to hold space, to encourage, and to empower you to live your purpose with soul. I hope you will join me.”
