DIRECTOR : COACH : FACILITATOR

TANIA RUPAPERA (Ngati Kahu, Nga Ruahine)

I am a personal and business development coach, trusting in my intuition, education and ability to know what to say and when to say it. I will listen to your language, form an intuitive perspective, working organically with you applying in the moment the necessary approach in order for you to see, hear and feel what is necessary for your growth. 

My uniqueness is in my natural style and ease which empowers you to trust in the process, therefore enabling you to let go and go with the flow. 

My life has been one of constantly searching and desiring to understand why I do what I do and what inspires me to continue with my relentless passion for self-discovery. My commitment to my own personal and professional development is evident in my continued education and passion about the coaching industry for over 20 years.

During this time I have coached across many industries; including professional sports teams, yachting, entertainment, arts and creative, health and fashion. 

I have coached clients from all around the world: Italy, Russia, Spain, France, Australia and NZ. Although my clients are english speaking, I do enjoy learning a few key words in their language. It's inspiring connecting with people from all walks of lives and cultures. 

I am a Te Aka Coach contracted with MWDI (Maori Woman Development Inc). It is very inspiring, emotional and fulfilling working with Wahine Maori. I love working within my culture to empower Wahine Maori for their business economic development and sustainability. You can request me as a coach through their website www.mwdi.co.nz for sponsored coaching sessions if eligible.

I co-facilitate the business planning workshop HineBoss for MWDI and P3 Ltd.

I am also a specialist coach in the fashion retail industry. My knowledge in the fashion industry fast-tracks my client's working in this sector. www.fashionretailcoach.co.nz

I value learning and it is an ongoing commitment for life. The courses that I have attended, combined with my life experiences, have given me the knowledge, empathy and trust in my ability to coach others.

I am currently studying Te Reo Maori. 

I have a NZ certificate in Cookery Level 3 from Celia Hay Cookery School. I have worked in the super yacht industry, lived in Mallorca Spain where my son was born, lived in Paris for 6 months, travelled extensively experiencing different countries and cultures. I qualified as a therapeutic masseuse at Olesma during my time in Mallorca. I was born and raised in Taranaki, New Zealand. My Koro is from Whatuwhiwhi in Tai Tokerau. He traveled to Taranaki, fell in love with my Nan and had 16 children. My Dad is the eldest boy. My Nan was full of life, passionate, the first one on the dance floor and very fashionable. She is a great inspiration to me. My son is like her.

I read this and it resonated with me: “Those that walk with faith emanate a sense of knowing. The more we surrender to the unknown and simply trust, the more the universe provides us with awareness – our clairvoyant ability increases knowing because our way of being enables us to be our own authentic self.”
