About Paula
Kia ora, I’m Paula.
In addition to co-founding HCHQ and facilitating Harmony Circle, Warkworth, I work with energy to help enhance healing in others. I also practise and teach Qigong. I enjoy bringing people together and I have a tendency for humour and straight talking. Honesty and integrity are my fundamental values.
My aim is to help create amazing connections and friendships of like-minded people throughout the world, and in doing so spread knowledge of how to heal ourselves along the way.
I invite you to connect with me and let’s see where it goes from there!
It’s all about energy and intention
Throughout my life I have studied and practiced many healing and spiritual methods, and I have come to conclude that everything comes down to your energy and intention. This one principle holds immense potential to expand and enrich your life. It is such a simple concept, yet it is so thought provoking and exciting!
My background in various occupations and small business is diverse, with one common factor being my focus on making things happen. I get an idea and if I think it could work, I go ahead and make it happen.
Communicating, facilitating, supporting, and creating are my strengths. I will always consider myself a student: eager to learn and constantly building my self-awareness.
I feel most connected in nature: gardening or out amongst the bush, hills, mountains, streams, and grass. These places speak to me and lift my heart immensely.
Over time I have learned many things about myself – I know that I am generous, intuitive, and wise. I treasure peaceful solitude, but I also love the deep connections I am blessed to have with others in my life. I know that I have inner strength, that I’m smart, and that I will work to help others in whatever ways I can.
My hunger for knowledge and determination to turn ideas into action has led to many personal and business achievements. This is exactly how the first Harmony Circle was born in 2018.
In the health and healing fields I have studied massage, clinical aromatherapy, counselling, kinesiology, reflexology, Reiki, Life Coaching, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, spiritual healing and intuition, and Qigong.
I practice and teach Qigong, an ancient Chinese system of movement, meditation, and breathing that has incredible benefits for well-being, focus, and raising your energetic frequency. Qigong incorporates the philosophy of the five elements and the five positive emotions to create energy balance in our organs and energy channels very quickly. I hold a weekly practice group, host practice groups on Zoom, and I teach a Level 1 Certification class.
I am a mother to one amazing son, and over the years I have lived in four different countries and travelled extensively. Working in a huge range of jobs has given me a wide perspective and an open mind. I’ve worked as a store detective, a casino croupier, a barmaid, a court usher, a community service supervisor, and a party planner! Establishing small businesses is also something I have enjoyed doing, including a café, hairdressing, boarding kennels and cattery, and an engraving business. Those who know me know that I am a no-frills, no-fuss type of person. What you see is what you get with me!
These days I live in Snells Beach, north of Auckland. I choose to focus on what I love: the world of energy, healing, and bringing people together.
