Hi I’m Kerryn!
I’m a hope dealer who loves her family, loves nature and loves life.
What is a hope dealer you ask?
Well, after losing both my parents a few years ago, I chose a path of destruction and went a little bit crazy. I couldn’t sleep, I didn’t want to be around my friends and family anymore and decided that steak n cheese pies, chocolate and wine would fix everything.
After experiencing my own healing journey, I found HOPE and now LOVE to help others do the same through self-care practices. Let’s just say I’m here to inspire, empower and share with you some kick-ass self- care tips and tricks that I have learnt during life!
I wish I knew what I know now back when I was a teenager!
Speaking of teenagers, Bridy and I formed a friendship way back at Intermediate and have re-connected and discovered that after 30 years of friendship - we still had so much in common. Our own health & wellness and our love of sharing our knowledge with other amazing human beings.
Self care is so important, that’s why you are here finding out what we are all about right?
So let’s make time together and embed our self care ideas, and to BE WELL. Thanks so much for visiting xo

I am a nurturer and a huge supporter of the humans I love. I try my hardest to balance this important work with a full time job in a pressure cooker corporate environment in Auckland. Self care is an essential part of happily managing my life-load.
I am here, in this space because I have fallen in love with naturopathy (natural medicine). I am totally star struck by the way the body can spontaneously heal itself. I’m also super curious about how food and mindset can help support this process.
This love has taken me off to complete studies through the Naturopathic College of NZ in Nutrition and Holistic Health. I am super interested in the mind-body connection and am constantly learning how plant medicine and spirituality can support this.
Hear me now! You are the only one that honestly knows what your body needs (not the health industry). I love sharing and exploring this secret with people.
Kerryn and I are buds from waaaay way back reconnecting after many years by our passion for being well despite the odds. We are heading off on a heart warming, self-care-community journey together and we cant wait to meet you x
We are passionate about self-care and nourishing lifestyle choices. Our retreats are designed to give you space to pause from the busy-ness of your life and practise self-care.
A Kerryn and Bridy retreat is a gentle mix of joyful movement, nourishing food and health and wellness practices like yoga, aromatherapy and breathwork. Every SEASONAL weekend retreat includes accommodation, all whole food meals, essential oils, foot soaks, outdoor walk and activities, heart warming workshops and much much more, in a beautiful part of Aotearoa, NZ.
We also know that every birthday or celebration doesn’t have to result in a hangover. We bring the Wellness Party to you! A RETREATME day with you and your friends at YOUR place.
It’s all taken care of. All you have to do, is turn up, relax and have fun! xo
