MY STORY.

My whole life I feel connected with the Maori people of New Zealand and never knew why.

I have always been a talker and always got in touch with special people, That's how I used to call them special.. now I call them spiritual people or people that value nature and life above materialistic possessions. I understand them now.

But back to the maori’s. 

For years I have been asking my dad to leave for New Zealand but we went to a lot of places, but Aotearoa (The land of the long white cloud) was on the other side of the world and remained on the bucket list for now. By playing rugby I met loads of polonesian and Maori people that will always have a special place in my heart, even the ones I haven’t met like Jonah Lomu reserved a spot. 

As a little kid I practiced the Haka in front of the tv, there was something in me that felt connected. Something inside me, something that I already knew. I know it sounds weird but as a kid emotions and feelings are easier to show so I did. When I did this dance it gave me goosebumps not knowing the meaning of it because of growing up in Amsterdam and I was too young to look it up. This feeling is still in me and every time the goosebumps pop back up.

The decision was made and within 4 months I was going to New Zealand and wanted to meet Maori people. Of course with this western way of manifestation thinking it is not going to work but I didn't think that through back then.

What does Coaching has to do with it?

Before I left and till this very day I’am a Personal Trainer and Coach. The difference now is that I got to know myself and now know how to help others through these experiences or help them to step out of their comfort zone.

So I combined my Personal Training with Coaching.

During my travels I learned how to get rid of the mental one and find your peace in constant changing enviroments and dealing with all kinds of people.

You need to create your own space and learn how to say stop and not further. You have every right to it.

This is what I want to share with the KAHA mindset and the first step is to become physically.

In my MANA Blog I write about leaving it all behind, my Maori encounters the Rite of passage and Life Lessons that I encountered in India.
