ERIN

Hi I'm Erin, owner of Flourish and teacher. I've always been curious about the deeper layers of people and am a lifelong learner of Eastern and Western philosophies. As a previous psychology graduate, Youthline counsellor, mental health and human resources worker, I help people feel safe and supported.

I am an IYTA diploma qualified and Yoga Alliance accredited and trauma-informed Yoga Teacher with certification in Polarity Therapy from Nature Care College in Sydney. I've been practising yoga since my teen years and teaching yoga for the past 20 years, layering in other trainings such as fundamental matwork Pilates and barre. I love weaving together my unique blend of intuitive movement, breath, sound, touch, and meditative states to enable people to go within and experience the power of presence. Nourishing and transformative holistic bodywork one on one sessions are now available at the studio, learn more and book here: Holistic Bodywork

Now in my 51st year, I have navigated intense periods of change in my life and used this as the catalyst for Midlife Awakening, to support women in finding their way back to themselves with renewed hope and spark for living. Please contact Erin at hello@flourishwellnessnz.co.nz/ph 021 474 754 to enquire about individual coaching or to put your name down for the immersion over 2 Sundays in August 2025 or please visit: Midlife Awakening.

A proud mother of 3 teenagers, I am at home in the kitchen and in the water, particularly enjoying swimming and surfing the wild waves of Raglan.

MIDLIFE AWAKENING FOR WOMEN

MARISA

Hi I'm Marisa. I became qualified as a Personal Trainer and Yoga Teacher in 2014. From the day I could run, I have been into exercising and playing sports, I was never one to sit still for too long!

I decided to become a PT because I wanted to turn my passion into helping others. At the same time I started my yoga training with a dear friend of mine who was a yoga teacher of 30 years.

Although I didn't practice yoga in my earlier years, I wish I had, as it has changed my life for the better. My practices have been in Iyenga, Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga, loving them all, with my certificate of qualification in Hatha. I acknowledge that movement and keeping active has helped me immensely with my own physical and mental health.

When not in the studio you can usually find me being active with my other hobbies including golf, mountain biking, and swimming. I have 2 beautiful grown-up children and a loving supportive partner.

CLASSES TAUGHT: GENTLE FLOW YOGA, ENERGISING MORNING YOGA, CORE & STRETCH

KAY

Hi, I’m Kay, and I am a yoga teacher and mum to 2 boys.

My yoga journey began at a time in my life when I needed it the most and it has helped me heal, emotionally, mentally and physically. I began my teaching career after training in Children’s Yoga. After discovering the power of movement for children I have continued to grow my knowledge and have completed my yoga teacher training in hatha, yin and vinyasa and am also a trauma informed movement facilitator. I have practiced yoga on a personal level for over 15 years and have been teaching for 5 years. My teaching style sequences offer a blend of traditional hatha, to hatha flow to a mix of vinyasa. I believe in order for someone to truly understand the value of yoga, is to experience it on a level where they enable their own body, mind and breath connection.

When I’m not teaching yoga you can find me on our lifestyle block, attending to the animals, in the garden and spending time with my family.

LIZ

Hi I’m Liz, passionate about sharing my love for yoga and creating a welcoming environment where people of all levels feel comfortable to explore what’s possible. I believe yoga is about being present and listening to what your body needs in each moment, from embodied flow to nurturing yin. My teaching style is gentle, calm, and supportive, with a focus on helping people slow down and reconnect. My goal for every class is to offer space to pause, breathe, and just be.

Alongside teaching yoga, I also offer massage therapy, helping people to fully relax and release tensions of the outside world. When I’m not teaching or massaging, you’ll find me pottering in my garden, walking along the beach, and enjoying time with my beautiful family.
