Angela has over 30 years’ experience in the health field, including qualifications in Medical Science, Immunology, Childbirth Education, Complementary Health, Craniosacral Therapy and Trauma Studies.
Angela has also been involved in adult education in various forms over the last 30 years teaching throughout Aotearoa in the subjects of Biochemistry, Immunology, Childbirth Education, Chi kung, Craniosacral Therapy and most recently, in the field of mind health. She has taught internationally for 14 years in Australasia, North America, Europe and the Middle East.
More recently, Angela has focussed her work more on the connections between the mind and body, with the inclusion of self-enquiry for clients in conjunction with classes. This has stemmed from her extensive involvement in clinical practice and Certification in Trauma Therapy and other mind-wellness modalities. This allows the client to uncover unconscious patterns which can manifest as long-term ill health. Angela helped create the Mind Health Project (MHP) charity where she teaches stress and anxiety classes to youth through the MHP.
Having qualified as a Chi kung teacher in 2014, Angela has been teaching this ancient Eastern discipline in association with teaching other modalities.
In 2019, Angela teamed up with Megan van Lieshout to offer a retreat weekend for women. This need has grown and now Angela and Megan are running women’s retreat with focus on developing knowledge and skills to deal with the changing times of the later decades of life and how to thrive in this midlife phase.
