Feminine Wisdom | Mentor | Multidimensional Healing | Nourish & Bloom Co-Founder

Through life's deepest initiations, Heliena has walked the path of profound loss, surrender, and rebirth - experiences that became the catalyst for a lifelong devotion to understanding the body, nervous system, psyche, and the innate intelligence that guides healing.

From a young age, Heliena experienced a deep sensitivity and connection to energy and the spirit realms that extended beyond our physical world. As her own healing journey unfolded, decades of lived experience, inner work, and embodied wisdom refined her innate gifts, shaping the unique way she now guides and supports women through inner healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.

Her work weaves together multidimensional healing, subconscious reprogramming, nervous system toning and regulation, guided journeys, and somatic practices that support women's health, vitality, and overall wellbeing. Heliena creates a space where women feel deeply safe, seen, and supported to explore the deepest parts of themselves, uncovering the subconscious patterns, protective responses, unprocessed emotions, and trauma that are often keeping them stuck in survival mode, chronically stressed, burnt out, and disconnected from themselves and others.

As these layers are worked through, women find they are able to reconnect with themselves in ways they haven't experienced before, cultivate a deeper trust in their intuition, embody their feminine power, sovereignty and creativity and learn how to take aligned action in ways that creates meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

Taylor brings a steady, grounding presence that gently supports each woman’s personal journey. Through sound, he helps create an environment where you can feel more connected, more spacious, and more in tune with yourself - long after the last note fades.

Nourish & Bloom Co-Founder | Retreat Host

Chelsea is one of New Zealand’s most loved and trusted public figures, with a connection to women built over more than a decade through food, humour, and down-to-earth way of being.

But behind the public life, she’s lived through many of the things women are navigating every day - operating from survival mode, dissociation, stress and overwhelm, people-pleasing, divorce, challenging relationships, addiction and new motherhood.

Those experiences took Chelsea on a journey of healing, awareness and personal growth. She learned what practices genuinely helped - and, over time, found her way back to clarity, joy and empowerment.

Nourish & Bloom grew naturally from that journey. Together with Heliena, Chelsea wanted to bring the practices, insights and experiences that had made the greatest difference in their own lives into a powerful experience for other women - making it easier to access the support, tools and space that can create meaningful change.

After 14 years of nourishing people through food, Nourish & Bloom is another expression of the same thing: helping women move closer to the life they truly want.
