We are Aotearoa Embodiment Collective
A community of wellness practitioners dedicated to reconnecting you with
nature, your self and your body.
Welcome to our shared space.
We invite you to feel at home in the intimate & healing studio space we have created. This is a space for small groups to connect deeply with one another, drop into the body & connect with the inner self. The space is aimed for community events, professionals with private clients, and budding practitioners who are starting up and want a small, low-commitment venue in which to try their services before finding their feet.
We have memberships prices and one-off booking options.
We have hosted a range of events and services such as tauma therapy, pelvic floor reconnect, embodied voice, dance, private coaching, trainings, counselling, capoeira practice, group meditation practices, kirtan, sound healing, yoga, women's circles, men's circles, acro workshops, massage therapy and more.
