Description

Kia Ora, I’m Mahalia! I love the outdoors and working with the environment. I was raised on a very secluded farm in the tipy top of the South Island of New Zealand which I spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, gardening, herding sheep and cows, helping on the mussel boat, cooking, cleaning, etc. I think it set me up for a very good future:)

I studied in America on a rowing scholarship for 4 years (2018-2022), I then studied for my personal training certification once returning to New Zealand (2023-2024). A month after I completed my PT certification I flew to The Netherlands and did 2 months of WWOOFing, I also visited Portugal where I cat/house sat for a few weeks, I then went to Italy for a couple of months to do a few different volunteer based projects. I stayed for a total of 6 months in Europe last year, and now I'm back!

What brings me happiness? Cats mostly, and all animals, and large body's of water, being outside, being grounded, being in fullness with my bodymind, and the human connection.

What else ...

I like to live as natural as my environment allows, more recently I've been experimenting with different skin and hair care techniques involving herbs. Becoming increasingly aware of how many chemicals we use and are exposed to in every day life. finding ways to reduce or eliminate said chemicals is one of my life long goals!
