Meet Mikayla (she/her)

Kia ora, I’m Mikayla Mary, a qualified Counsellor and Yoga Teacher.

​

In 2018, I completed my yoga teacher training with Adele Kinghan. During this year of yoga teacher training, I learnt healthy coping strategies and formed a deeper and more compassionate relationship with myself.

​

I then went on to complete a Diploma of Health Psychology and a Bachelor in Counselling and Addictions Practice.

​

I have worked in acute mental health inpatient settings, on the phones as a mental health and addictions advisor, as a youth counsellor and now as a counsellor specialising in trauma therapy.

​

I started postgraduate study specialising in trauma due to my own lived experience being a survivor and seeing the need for support in this area with the people that I work with.

​

I believe in a holistic approach to healing incorporating both western and indigenous approaches to offer you a well-rounded approach to your healing journey.

​

Thank you for being here!
