🌿Kia Ora Koutou, Dr Ma Aroha here, I hope those of you who read this feel welcomed to our business page and get a clear understanding of who we are, what we offer, how we may assist, guide and propel you into living your greatest expression of who you are, who you are called to become. I also hope that you feel a strong sense of alignment to the community we are growing organically and holding space to gloriously unfold. In my heart, I am a visionary and creator of loving, safe, positive spaces. I love business, science, spirituality, and teaching others how to grow their joys into streams of income with ease and flow…
…I see myself as a spiritual scientist, and as the Co-Founder & Clinical Mental Health Supervisor at B Aroha, I feel so excited and enthusiastic at the new connections we are making internationally, as we develop collaborative community vibes, and expand our practise into multiple spaces. Now, we feel so connected on an International level to our divine, thriving cosmos…
…I began working as a youth, social, and community worker, initially unqualified, which was an incredible opportunity. The opportunity wasn’t just about the roles and skills I gained, but more importantly, I was fortunate to have a number of strong mentors who truly loved and believed in me. As a result of their guidance, I am a lover of learning, wisdom, and remembrance. Fast forward to now, I am a retired Social Worker and passionate scientist offering Neuro, Behavioural, and Social Science in all that we do and with those we connect with. I have a background in organic Psychology, Epigenetics, Quantum Physics and Psychoneuroimmunology as well as holistic health and wellbeing modalities…
…I am a lifelong researcher at heart, which has led me to investing time and space in better understanding what it means to be human, how we can raise the consciousness of all humanity, move through and release complex trauma from our beingness, our lineage, and for all those to come…
…My professional career took me from working in New Zealand Government with the New Zealand Police and Community Organisations in local schools with youth at risk, to working in Child Protection, Complex Case Management for those with significant disabilities and trauma, Family Therapy, Relationship Counselling, Youth Detention, and Health in Queensland Government. I feel so grateful and privileged to have worked in such a variety of amazing roles, and have been incredibly blessed for all the learnings, growth and development from those I’ve worked with. Working as a facilitator with multiple agencies has been another dynamic role I thrived in. Diversity is the spice of life and I love learning more about people from all walks of life…
…My supervision style is assertive, honest, warm, wise, and empowering. I believe I hold sacred space for beautiful reflection, huge growth, and professional renewal, especially as I have lived experience of professional burnout. Whether you’re navigating complex cases or seeking alignment with your own values and wellbeing, I offer movement from chaos and confusion to clarity. I offer the opportunity for holistic modalities to complement your practice as well as enrich your life. I am deeply compassionate, empathetic and offer deep insight as I have a dynamic background in Social Services…
…B Aroha as a community ethos is that of Self Love, Self Acceptance, Self Knowingness, and Self Empowerment. We do what we say, we show up, we strive to be the kindest, most loving and positive people in the room, not in competition, but to inspire others to do better. As we inspire ourselves and others, the worlds consciousness rises too…
…I have capacity for three hours of Clinical Supervision weekly (in one-hour timeslots). My approach and practice has and always will be strength based, with a background in Positive Behavioural Support and Behavioural Analysis. It is a joy holding space for others to work through and analyse problems and challenges; and come up with their own ideas and resources to support incredible growth. On a final note, I see my role ultimately as guiding professionals to break negative belief systems and upgrade to positive mindsets and life experiences…
Infinite Love, Ma xxx
