Tash Diaries

I hold space for women to own their power through 1:1 coaching, small group programs, women's circles and retreats.

I also write a blog called the Tash Diaries 🙏🏼

Dear exhausted woman,

You’re tired, but somehow still struggle to give yourself permission to properly stop. You find yourself doom scrolling and then wondering why you feel worse (surely it’s not just me!)…

If that sounds familiar, this might be just what you need.

My final Women’s Circle for 2026 is an invitation to unplug for 90 minutes and let yourself be nurtured for a change.

We’ll share yummy ceremonial cacao, set intentions, journal and reflect, and finish with meditation, sound and space to simply receive.

No performing. No expectations. Just a small circle of women and some intentional time to come back to yourself before stepping back into your world.

Thursday 12 November
7.30–9pm | $50
Perth SOR | Limited spots

If this feels like something you need, I’d love to welcome you into the circle.

Hiapo Haaku | Session Two 🇳🇺

My foundation is painted and now I can begin to tell my story.

This morning’s session with took us deeper into the motifs and symbols of hiapo and something that really stayed with me was the invitation to look beyond simply choosing something because I like the way it looks.

It’s not a hibiscus for hibiscus’ sake.

What does the hibiscus mean to me? What do I notice about it? Its strong, resilient branches? Its large, bold flowers? Its femininity? And how might those qualities connect back to my own story?

Could the flower represent me as a woman and mother, with three elements surrounding it representing my children? Could its strength and boldness represent something else entirely?

We talked about looking closely at the world around us: leaves, flowers, seeds, shells, fish, the ocean, weaving, food and the everyday things that connect us to place. Then asking how those things might become part of our visual language.

One question posed really stayed with me:

What will my great-grandchildren see when they look at my hiapo?

That shifted something.

Because I’m not simply choosing motifs now. I’m beginning to think about what I want this piece to say.

What tells the story of where I come from? What represents motherhood, family, Niue, the ocean, resilience, connection and the different threads of my life?

There are lots of ideas on the page at the moment. Next comes narrowing them down and beginning to work out how they belong together.

The foundation is there. Now I get to tell the story. I can’t wait 🇳🇺

Do the thing before you feel ready.

Yesterday I led my first beach yoga practice with a group of girlfriends here in Gracetown.

And yep, that familiar little voice still showed up beforehand.

Am I experienced enough? Am I actually good enough at this? There are so many teachers who know more than me…

Imposter syndrome is funny like that. You can have the training, you can have done the thing before and it can still convince you that maybe you’re not quite ready to take up the space.

But I did it anyway.

And, as always, I walked away with that beautiful feeling of fulfilment that comes whenever I lead a practice. I genuinely love creating a space for people to move their bodies with intention, slow down and be present in the moment.

Maybe that’s the reminder I needed too. I don’t have to be the most experienced teacher in the room to have something worthwhile to offer.

We followed it up with another little challenge: a very quick dip in the freezing Indian Ocean. A nervous system reset, a shock to every cell in my body and a pretty great way to feel alive.

So consider this your gentle nudge today.

What’s the thing you keep telling yourself you’ll do when you’re more experienced, more confident, more prepared… more ready?

Maybe you don’t need to wait.

Step into it. Own it. Do it before you feel ready.

Because I think the secret is that we never really do.

Hiapo Haaku | Week One 🇳🇺

Today was the first session of my four-week Hiapo Haaku immersion with Christyl and interestingly, we didn’t begin with creating.

We began with story.

Who am I? Where do I come from? What are the people, places, experiences and values that have shaped me? What is my connection to Niue? And what parts of that story might eventually find their way onto my own hiapo?

We also explored the foundations of traditional hiapo making, and I came away with a much deeper appreciation for what went into creating these pieces.

The process begins with the land. Finding the right branch, stripping and preparing the bark, beating it to create the cloth, making tools and creating inks and dyes from the natural environment.

And then eventually, story was added through symbols and imagery.

What really stayed with me was how interconnected it all was. The tree you chose. Where it grew. The materials available to you. Your village. Your family and lineage. The natural world around you.

The people, land, materials and story all became part of the piece.

I can understand a little more now why hiapo can hold such power. It isn’t simply something beautiful to look at. There is so much held within it.

Since our session I’ve found myself sketching and playing with plants, shapes and patterns. That isn’t formally part of our immersion, just my own curiosity taking over as I start thinking about what my story might eventually look like on canvas.

Very grateful to Christyl for holding this space and to be going on this little journey of learning and remembering with her.

I’m beginning a four-week immersion into Hiapo Haaku with Christyl from NIUEANNA. The Ancestral Canvas 🇳🇺

For me, this is about more than learning an art form. It’s another opportunity to explore my connection to Niue, my culture and the stories that have shaped me.

I’m going into it very much as a learner, curious about what I’ll discover and what might emerge as I eventually create a hiapo that tells something of my own story.

It feels like another little part of this journey of remembering.

I’ll share some of what I learn along the way.
