Some new website/social media photography for the beautiful and talented Clara from Manaaki Massage 🫶🏻

I booked a massage with Clara last week when I came off Mt Titiroa with a rather painful shoulder. A few days later I was on Milford Track for another few days in the hills. Clara definitely has the magic touch ✨ I’m looking forward to another magical massage today. If you’re in Te Anau/Manapouri I highly recommend you make a booking!

The days are cooling and the light is starting to dim. Autumn is in full swing here in the deep south of New Zealand.

We rugged up for this morning session, but the cold didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit 💫 Kids bring the best vibes, and this little one was full of energy and a whole lotta love for her mumma ♥️

If you’re looking for a reason to have some photos taken with the kids, Mother’s Day is just around the corner 🥰

Well it turns out Green Lake wasn’t so Green, maybe we should rename it Pink Lake? 😆 Another local hut ticked off the list. Embarrassed that it took so long for me to get to see this one 🫣 I will definitely be back with the kids next time, but maybe I’ll only subject them to the shorter track in from the tops 😆 Going in from Lake Monowai end was amazing but take note, Track finding skills are a MUST 😅

Loved this solo adventure 🥰✌🏻

I was lucky enough to meet Johanna, the owner of Wildwood Sauna last year when starting Wild Heart New Zealand . She is a talented artist and graphic designer amongst her many talents 🎨🤯

We connected through a close friend over a coffee one cold spring morning here in Fiordland. The moment she walked out the door I turned to my business partner and said, I absolutely LOVE her! Down to earth, super friendly but overall she just has that unique peaceful vibe about her. So to get the call up to do some photography for her new sauna business was a no brainer 💁🏼‍♀️ I’m in!

I loved every second of taking these photos for Wildwood. The models made it incredibly easy for me 😍😅 Clara from Manaaki Massage who features in a lot of these photos, was truly magnetic. She also happens to have one of the kindest souls, she made me feel so calm in her presence. Booking a massage with her is on the top of my to do list!

The sauna itself is of a very high quality, it creates a serene and peaceful space for solitude or connection. This is our new meeting place by the lake 🫶🏻 and I’m here for it!

Calling all women who love wild places and crave a different kind of adventure ! 🥾🌿

I'm dreaming up something alongside my neighbour Hannah from Rewild You- small-group guided wilderness trips for women in the Southern Alps of NZ. Think: muddy boots, belly laughs, deep chats, and full-body resets in the outdoors. Days walking in the Mountains, away from technology, connecting through adventure with like minded women!

We’re still in the listening and research phase and are genuinely looking for input from aussie women who might consider something like this.

If that sounds like you, we’d love your thoughts.

🗺️ Take our short 5-minute survey (no signup required):

We’re aiming to make this the kind of experience you’d drop everything to say yes to - so if that sparks anything in you, we’d love your input.

Cheers in advance!!

What a bunch of strong and determined women ✨🫶 I cherished every step, every laugh, every conversation, every connection. From plunging into the freezing water of Lake Mackenzie and drinking fireball in the drying room to warm back up, to climbing precariously around slips and standing on the edge of cliffs.

Together we raised over $65,000 for RUN DIPG! Thankyou to every one of you who donated or was involved in this incredible charity hike, you are making a difference 💛💛💛 Soo many photos to come, but couldn't help share a glimpse of the magic we experienced! If you would still like to donate, the link is in the comments 🙏
