FOLLOWING THE CALLINGS OF MY HEART

Nadja New Zealand

I have always felt the potential of the free dolphin, a playful spirit and attunement to the deep waters of life.
I am deeply grateful for all the mentors, teachers and companions who have supported me in tuning into my own inner knowing over the last decade.

I value freedom, sovereignty, meaningful connection, uniqueness of our true nature, truth and deep listening.

Roots

My path has been shaped by devotion, deep exploration, learning and unlearning, stepping into new paths, expanding and connecting both with myself and through relationship.
Traveling the world for two years transformed me and taught me to surrender to the flow of life.
Encounters with dolphins, sacred lands and free families traveling around the world, planted seeds that blossomed into how I live, mother, and support others today.

ROOTS & VALUES

Becoming a mother opened me to profound tenderness and deep transformation.
It invited me to explore my own story and understand how babies carry and share stories into the world.
With an understanding of early imprints, I began to learn how to truly listen, to myself, to others, and to the unspoken language of life.
I believe children are born wise and whole, and that our role as parents is to protect that wholeness and guard the flame in their true nature.
Mothering has awakened the most sacred, beautiful, and evolving experiences in my life.

MOTHERHOOD AS TRANSFORMATION

WHAT I’VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY

For nearly 15 years, I worked in counselling, conducting interviews as part of the HR process and facilitating self-development programs across various fields. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and the power of guidance during life transitions.

I have witnessed again and again how coming home to ourselves brings peace, empowerment, and healing. I have also seen how unconscious patterns in parenting, when left unseen, can shadow us.
We are nature itself, longing to be nurtured, celebrated, and remembered.
Connecting to my life spark within is about vitality, regeneration, creativity, passion, freedom and choice.

Consciously Parenting

Conscious Parenting fosters deep, present-moment connection by drawing from multiple fields of study, including pre- and perinatal psychology, neuroscience, biology, trauma research, attachment theory, and emotional awareness. These disciplines emphasize the crucial role of emotional regulation and connection in healthy human development. At its core, Conscious Parenting is about creating and nurturing healthy relationships through mutual understanding, respect and support.

This approach begins with trust, empathy and open communication. It acknowledges how early life experiences shape who we become and emphasizes the need for emotional, social and physical support within relationships. Secure attachment is seen as foundational - creating resilience, safety, and emotional well-being. Understanding a child’s birth story and its influence on emotional health is also central to this perspective.

Conscious Parenting validates the needs and feelings of both parents and children. It recognizes the importance of completing the stress cycle and consistently nurturing connection as a pathway to growth, healing, and harmony.

Rebecca Thompson Hitt, founder of the Consciously Parenting Project, integrated Healing Story Circles as a powerful tool for supporting parents. These circles offer a safe, non-judgmental space for sharing personal stories - especially those related to birth and parenting challenges. Their primary focus is healing, offering parents the chance to express emotions, feel deeply heard and receive meaningful support from others. Through this shared storytelling, parents gain insight, deepen self-awareness and uncover new pathways to healing—empowering them to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Through this learning, professional training and experiential work - especially many years of practicing within Healing Story Circles - I discovered the power of healing in connection. I experienced how presence and attunement can transform relationships and awaken deep trust within. This work also sparked a profound passion in me for honouring early life experiences and celebrating the journey of motherhood.

Rebecca’s mentorship in the Conscious Parenting training and the APPPAH Pre- and Perinatal Educator training has been an incredible gift. Each time with her feels like a return to my center: a space of reflection, growth and genuine support.

The Ways of the Luminous Heart

The Ways of the Luminous Heart (WOLH) is an embodied, trauma-informed coaching approach designed to awaken the wisdom within your heart. It offers somatic and energetic support for transformation and alchemy, guiding you to step into your own gifts and magic. Through sacred witnessing and honouring, we engage in heart-energy medicine practices and embodied heart wisdom.

WOLH is a journey of remembrance, reconnecting you with your true essence and ancient knowing through the luminous heart -the blueprint of who we truly are, beyond conditioning and trauma imprints. This trauma-informed modality is grounded in somatic practices, heart work and energy medicine.

By integrating somatic and energetic practices, we cultivate greater safety in the nervous system, aligning it more deeply with the heart in every aspect of life. Experience how these practices support transformation and alchemy, fostering safety and a deeper heart connection in all facets of life. 

The Ways of Luminous Heart was created by Francesca Redden, a heart alchemist, somatic therapist, and trauma-informed transformational mentor. francescaredden.com

"Our Hearts are the portal to remember who we really are and hold the blueprint of our essence, our most Luminous self."

Being met by Francesca has always been a unique, heart opening experience, deeply embodied, tender and transformative. Her presence opens a gentle, compassionate space where all parts are welcomed. There is a deep heart resonance that invites me to come home to myself and to walk the path of heart-led living. It is a journey of magic and truth, wrapped in love. A precious wisdom I carry forward with gratitude.

Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology 

Birth Psychology is a field of scientific research and observation that explores the impact of our earliest experiences – in the womb, during birth, and throughout infancy. It examines how these early experiences affect our current lives as adults, impacting our physical health, our emotional capacity, our mental beliefs and our social lives.

By recognizing early adaptive patterns we can explore various modalities to re-integrate and heal any traumas or disruptions that might be influencing our foundation of health. This understanding supports a holistic approach to conception, pregnancy and birth that includes the baby’s experiences as well as those of the parents, family members and the professionals who support them.

The Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) is important leader in advancing the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology. With a mission to educate, inspire and support both professionals and families, APPPAH explores the profound impact of early experiences - from conception through early childhood - on lifelong development.

Through cutting-edge research, holistic insights, and educational programs such as the renowned Prenatal and Perinatal Educator (PPNE) Certificate, APPPAH bridges science and wisdom to foster more conscious, connected beginnings.

The organization encourages birthing individuals, their partners and birth professionals to reflect on their own birth experiences, recognizing how early imprints shape our lives. By understanding these foundational experiences, we can cultivate more supportive and conscious environments for parents and babies, nurturing healthier beginnings for families.

Human Design

Human Design is a powerful system of self-awareness that offers deep insight into your unique energetic blueprint. It helps you understand how to align with your true nature, empowering you to live and lead in ways that bring greater satisfaction, peace, success and inspiration.

Combining principles from the I Ching, the Kabbalah, the chakra system, astrology and quantum physics, Human Design creates a detailed map of your energy. It highlights your strengths, challenges and life purpose, offering practical guidance for decision-making, relationships, career and overall well-being.

By understanding your design, you gain clarity and coherence in how you move through life-making choices that honour your natural strengths and potential. Human Design invites you to explore and embrace your path with curiosity, confidence, and a deeper sense of freedom.

Human Design offers a clear framework for deconditioning - helping you recognize and release societal, familial, and behavioural patterns that aren't aligned with your true nature. By understanding your unique design, you can begin to unravel the layers of conditioning that have shaped your identity, allowing your authentic self to emerge with greater clarity and confidence.

Deconditioning with Human Design is a path of gentle unlearning - shedding what you’ve been told you should be, so you can fully embody who you truly are. Deconditioning isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about remembering who you’ve always been.

"Your Human Design is your key to understanding your energy, your life purpose, your life path, and your Soul journey in this lifetime.

You are a once in a lifetime cosmic event, and the fulfilment of your potential and purpose is the greatest gift you can give to the world."

Karen Curry Parker​

The Ways Of Connection logo

I have been moved by Quantum Human Design and its creator Dr. Karen Curry Parker. She integrated a quantum perspective into Human Design and enhanced it with the vibrational power of language that encourages growth, awareness, and empowerment.

Her devotion reaches not only to knowledge but to transformation, renewal and rewriting our new, evolving stories that awakens unique truth, brings harmony to our families and extends its healing ripples into the greater whole of humanity.

Through her work, I discovered that inner truth, embodiment and conscious storytelling are pathways, guiding us back into healing, empowerment and the remembrance of who we truly are.

Through my training in Quantum Human Design™ Family Coaching, I offer this wisdom to families, helping parents understand their own design and the design of their children. This opens a path to more conscious, compassionate relationships and supports children in staying true to their nature while growing into their fullest expression. When we honour our unique design and that of our children, we cultivate homes where authenticity, connection, and mutual respect can flourish.

Gene Keys

I am currently learning and contemplating the Gene Keys teachings. I feel deeply drawn to this beautiful wisdom and the inner journey they offer. Gene Keys invite you into a sacred and intimate relationship with life. Richard Rudd is a mystic, author, father, teacher and the creator of the Gene Keys.

This is a profound wisdom transmission that blends ancient codes, modern science and deep inner contemplation. This is not a path of fixing yourself; it’s a path of remembering your wholeness. It’s a gentle, powerful invitation to slow down, to soften, to breathe deeply and to listen within.

The 64 Gene Keys are living frequencies and a universal language encoded in your DNA. Each one carries a unique pattern of evolution, offering a map through the layers of your consciousness. This is what the Golden Path is - a voyage through your life that leads to higher consciousness and true purpose.

Every Gene Key holds a spectrum of frequency:
   Shadow – your unconscious fears and patterns
   Gift – your natural genius and soul potential
   Siddhi – your highest essence and divine embodiment​

Through the art of contemplation, you begin to unlock your innate wisdom and potential by softening into presence.
In every shadow is a gift. In every wound, a potential for grace. Embrace your shadow. Embody your gifts. Remember, You are love. Be that love in the world.

"In a human being, the expansion of frequency can only occur

in one way - through the heart."

Aware Parenting

Aware Parenting is a philosophy and approach to parenting that emphasizes understanding and responding to children's needs with compassion and awareness. Developed by developmental psychologist and author dr. Aletha Solter, it integrates principles of attachment, emotional intelligence and non-punitive discipline.

At its core, Aware Parenting highlights the importance of secure emotional bonds between parents and children. It encourages emotional expression and healing—for both children and parents - as a natural part of development. Limits are set with empathy rather than punishment, guiding behaviour through understanding and connection.

Aware Parenting empowers parents to gently process and heal the unresolved emotions we carry from our own past.
It invites us to explore the patterns and stories we've inherited and to tend to the unmet needs within ourselves with compassion.

Through this inner work, we become more present, more resourced and more aligned with the kind of parent we truly want to be.​

"As Aware Parenting teaches us, we are primed for healing. We innately know how to heal, and we are repeatedly searching for opportunities to do so. When we cry while feeling a sense of being loved and held, deep healing happens. As we come home to the truth that there was never anything wrong with us, we find that everything in our life changes in beautiful ways."

 Marion Rose / All of your feelings are welcome​

The Ways Of Connection logo

This approach has helped me reclaim the power of emotional honesty, offering me a path to greater connection, healing and trust. It’s shown me that true strength lies in vulnerability and that love deepens when we meet our pain with gentleness. Thankfully, our children will show us where healing needs to happen.

To learn more about Aware Parenting and Aletha Solter please visit www.awareparenting.com. I highly recommend all her books too. She is internationally recognized as an expert on attachment, trauma, and non-punitive discipline.

I also want to share my heartfelt gratitude for Aware Parenting and my mentor, dr. Marion Rose. Her presence has been a profound initiation on my parenting journey, gently guiding me into the heart of Aware Parenting in a deeply practical, embodied and soulful way.

Through her unconditional love, spacious listening and unwavering trust in each person’s inner wisdom, I was able to soften into my own knowing. She helped me reconnect with my values, deepen my self-compassion and learn to trust in the innate wisdom of babies. Marion lives what she teaches and her integrity, care and vision for a more conscious world continue to inspire me deeply.

School of Listening - Biser (Pearl)

The School of Listening – Biser, has been truly a beautiful journey for me. The three-year intensive training in relationships, the transformation of your personal and family story and connecting with your nature, gifts and uniqueness into mindful listening to oneself, others, the body and nature, is regarded as the key to creativity and effectiveness in life.

In this program, listening is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence, both in relationships and work. To truly listen and focus silence must be cultivated – skills that often require practice and development within oneself.

Just as a pearl (BISER) forms in an oyster in a response to irritants, our challenges, setbacks and struggles are seen as essential opportunities for recognizing one’s uniqueness and inner wealth. These experiences lead to the discovery of personal strength.

Sustainable and profound creativity, which allows us to renew our lives and work, is the fruit of this process within the oyster of our own being. More about Šola Poslušanja Biser institutveravase.com.​​

With Josipa and Alenka, my long time teachers, I have walked paths of growth and depths, through seasons and cycles. I have enriched my life, my body and heart. In a traveling pod of many souls, the journeys became full of inspiration, listening dialogs and magic I always find an echo meant just for me.

Women Circle - Temple - Sanctuary

Women’s Temple Circle is a sacred space for women to come together, reconnect with their roots and deepen their connection to their true selves and the Divine Feminine.

It is a Sanctuary for embodiment where we move, breathe, share and listen. Through dance, breathwork, sharing dialogues and somatic practices, we open ourselves to presence, softness and inner knowing. We receive nourishment, reclaim our bodies and foster self-love, acceptance and empowerment. It is a space to uncover hidden strengths, passions and unique gifts we each carry.

The Temple invites us to slow down and expand into self-awareness, embracing the sacredness of our individual paths while weaving authentic, heart-centered connections. Each gathering becomes a rich tapestry of intentional witnessing, active listening, guided meditations, embodied rituals, celebrations, mourning and soul-deep sharing.

Through these practices, we return home to our essence, honouring the sacred space within. We remember who we are - whole, wise and worthy.​

Rest  Receive  Reclaim  Reconnect  Rejuvenate  Release  Remember

The Ways Of Connection logo

Drawing on my experience with Women Awakening led by Chameli Ardagh (awakeningwomen.com) and other heart-centered spaces, I hold a nurturing space where we meet in shared vulnerability, growth and transformation. We cultivate a sense of wholeness, sisterhood and sacred connection while remembering the medicine of our soul and deepening connection to the inner self.

Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish, is the ancient science of light - often called the “eye of the Vedas” for its ability to illuminate our path with clarity, purpose, and alignment. As a sister science to Ayurveda, it offers deep insights into our health, well-being and life’s direction, helping us navigate with wisdom and harmony.

Rooted in the sacred Vedas and originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Jyotish blends astronomy and astrology into a spiritual science that provides a holistic understanding of life.

Through this system, we gain meaningful insights into our personality, relationships and potential. It provides guidance on our dharmic path - our unique life purpose - and supports us in facing challenges with clarity and confidence. By attuning to the cosmic rhythms, we’re empowered to live with greater awareness and intention.

Vedic Astrology shines a light on our innate gifts, growth opportunities and the deeper patterns shaping our experience. It offers a framework for authentic living and supports alignment on all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Above all, it is a sacred tool for transformation, guiding us back to ourselves with ancient wisdom and timeless truth.

"Jyotish is not about prediction, but permission to live in alignment

with your dharma, your rhythm, your truth."
