Wā Podcast
A transformative space for women where actualisation meets soul, guiding you to bring your dreams to life.
Over 8 weeks, you will:
𖤓 Gain confidence and clarity in your vision, grounded in self-belief and a plan.
☾ Have adopted creative problem solving and master the use of supportive rhythms that enhance your wellbeing and visions.
❂ Sustain long-term momentum towards actualising your dreams in a healthy and balanced way,
What’s involved?
The programme runs over 8 weeks, aligning intuitive flow and action with Maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar.
I blend 1:1 sessions with a digital framework, so your dream creation can flow between collaborative support and independent exploration. You’ll also receive weekly guidance, giving you the flexibility to experiment and identify what works best for you.
1:1 sessions include karakia, guided meditation and visualisation, and coaching. We work through your planning, blocks with tailored questions to support reflective work. This is where you will find creative solutions and identify ways to enhance your rhythms.
The digital container provides structure and support to track visions, dreams, thoughts, wellness tools and practices, planning, and goals (from your phone or computer). You can track your progress over the 8 weeks and watch as you begin growing into your expansive dreams.
Weekly guidance is sent to your email each Monday with words of inspiration and support to maintain focus and momentum.
I honour your unique journey while you actualise your dreams.

Kia ora, I’m Cleo
Nau mai, haere mai—welcome!
This is where magic and adventure live: Dreaming infinitely. Finding balance in the unknown. Expanding creatively. Connecting with the right people. Living your dream life.
Wā offers inspiration for you to actualise those big heart felt dreams, through storytelling, structure and action, giving you a gentle push needed to create the life you’re dreaming of.
"Follow your dreams," they say, but what isn’t mentioned is the uncertainty that comes with it, especially when the path ahead isn’t clear. That’s where I come in to support you.
I blend intuitive guidance, creative thinking with practical strategy to help you turn big dreams into your reality.
With a background in guiding visualisation and meditation, I support you in expanding into your fullest vision,
And with years of experience in business ownership and consulting on and managing regulatory change, I know how to break down uncertainty into purposeful action, helping individuals, teams, and businesses drive meaningful change.
I’ve led projects supporting startups in funding and building their initial infrastructure. I bring creative solutions when following non-traditional pathways.
By threading these experiences together, I create a space where your dreams aren’t just possibilities, but the becoming of tangible, achievable outcomes.
💫 Create what is uniquely yours, in your own time, in your own way.
