My name is Tia Healey-Jellick. I grew up in the Kaitaia area, in the Far North of New Zealand, surrounded by native bush. The forest was my solace, my friend and my healer and I have always been passionate about Aotearoa and her native plants. What started as a passion and a hobby making herbal balms soon turned into a unique business called Native Healing Herbals. As well as making native healing balms and creams I also run workshops to adults and school groups - on how to make balms, homeotherapy, natural health remedies and alternatives as well as providing various holistic healing techniques. I have been doing this for over 13 years now. Natures Creations floristry was then developed for those who are wanting to bring the energy and beauty of Aotearoa into their homes and work-places, I select and arrange stunning natural floral arrangements and love contributing to special events. I have recently started sharing my passion for the forest and our native plants with small tourgroups - Aotearoa Nature Tours - guiding them through the beautiful far North surroundings, sharing my insights into the spiritual/energetic and physical attributes of our natural habitat, as well as sharing my knowledge of the various traditional medicinal properties and health benefits of our native flora and fauna. ​ AlchemyRising - Womens Workshops arose out of years of working on myself and gathering skills and tools from many different workshops and courses as well as self- created ways to access the best of ourselves, the workshops are an amalgamation of many forms of play, and exploration of self.
