"Moana is an amazing teacher. I did a 4-week course and a private consultation, where she uncovered some interesting links between my health problems and my childhood. She also has an incredible energy, any time she is near you can feel it - kindness, wisdom and purity."

"Highly recommend!
I recently received a consultation and Marma facial, it was so beautiful and relaxing, more like a massage, it left me feeling grounded and energized. Moana is so passionate about Ayurveda, it was my first experience having a Ayurveda massage and the consultation was so enlightening, how she explained all the protocols I needed to do made so much sense, she really took the time to help me understand why its important for my Body type, I left with so much knowledge and excitement to begin my new health journey.Thank you so much Moana, can't wait for my next treatment 😊"

"I had the most wonderful experience learning about Ayurveda with Moana, I   ’d my one on one consultation and I especially loved the 4 weeks course.Ive noticed so much balance in my life since you first meet with Moana. Thank you so so much Moana, you are a gift and full of Ayurveda knowledge x"

"Meeting Moana and being introduced by her to the wonderful world of Ayurveda has been an eye opening journey. I have not yet had any formal treatment myself, so my recommendation comes from the friendship we have developed together, as well as Moana's treatment of a close family member. It is my experience that Moana displays several important qualities of a good physician. Firstly, I feel she has a strong sense of curiosity in her practice, and maintains a joy for continuous learning. Most importantly, I know Moana to be a naturally warm and empathetic person whose approach to people is in a non judgemental way, no matter where they are on their health journey."

"I have had several treatments at Ayurwell and I always leave feeling grounded, nurtured and cared for. Moana is dedicated, compassionate and a loving person and she brings all of these qualities to the treatments she delivers. In addition to her personal qualities, the space where she delivers the treatment is beautiful and peaceful, which is a perfect combination when it comes to taking care of our body and mind. Thank you Moana. I feel grateful that you have created this beautiful space in Gisborne and for all the aroha you give through the treatments."

"Thank you very much for coming into school to speak with my Year 13 Health class about Ayurveda. The students found this information very interesting and useful. They were speaking about all the following week and I think it really struck a chord with some of them. The delivery was great and at the students level which allowed them to engage more with your presentation. It was great that you got the students thinking about the holistic view of health and how Ayurveda can help many conditions and symptoms people might have. It was great to be exposed to another alternative medicine other than the traditional western medicine.Thanks for your time and insight into Ayurveda."

"I had an incredible panchakarma treatment by Moana that had such a profound resonance on my body, mind and spirit. Moana certainly has healing hands 👐 💜"

"Moana is so knowledgeable and caring! I couldn’t recommend her more highly"

"Being over weight, sore knees and over 50,  I wanted a detox that was gentle and kind in my body/tinana mind/hinengaro and wairua.  I found this gentle and kindness with Moana. Her guidance was appreciated and my body loved it, for the first time in years. I did not feel pain in my knees, I appreciated each day of being pain free.  I also felt a sense of calmness, I embraced the moments, my wairua and hinengaro was also nurtured through yoga and meditation.  It was worth each and every moment.

After the detox, I have already changed a few of my lifestyle habits, main focus for me is that I enjoy the change rather than force it and go back to old yet habits that are harsh on my body, mind and wairua.

I am looking forward to the next detox with Moana, Thank you dearly for showing me this road of self-care in a gentle and kind way.  Namaste 🙏"

"I have struggled with debilitating eczema for most of my life and spent a small fortune on dermatologist appointments and trying every avenue of alternative treatment. I meet Moana in 2022 in a desperate need to get off my medications that had an adverse affect on my body. She was the kindest most open therapist I had ever meet, she gave me sympathy and understanding. She helped to educate me on what was going on internally and together we went forward on my journey. I owe a lot to Moana as she was only ever a phone call away when I went through a flare ups.Together we decided I would go to India to do a full Panchakarma, Moana put me in the right direction for a beautiful clinic and was available via email whenever I needed her to explain my detoxing symptoms. My Trip to India changed my life and I can say that I am fully off all my medication and hardly live with eczema any more! Thank you so much for all your love and support Moana xxx"

"I have been seeing Moana for over a year now - from her 4 week course, to one-on-one consultations, and most recently a 4 day Ayurvedic spring cleanse. Moana genuinely cares about the people she works with and makes every process easy to follow and understand. Thank you for supporting me x"
