Balanced Tia.

Born and brought up in North Wales, and of mixed Indian, English and Germany heritage, Tia left the UK to live for a few years in the Solomon Islands. In 1996, after 8 months of travelling she moved to New Zealand, as it offered her the open space and lifestyle that she was looking for. After nearly 10 years of living in the City of Sails (Auckland) she moved down to Canterbury with her husband to fulfil their shared dream of living rural. She loves her life on a 3 acre property in Oxford which they share with their furry companions - Louie the black Cocker spaniel, Mac the cat, Bugsy the rabbit and the four legged mobile mowing machines.

Tia’s work is her passion, she loves working both one on one with clients and working with bigger groups. Her purpose is to create the biggest possible positive ripple effect around the planet, by assisting people in creating a career and life that is aligned to their core strengths, values and uniqueness.

She has delivered workshops to Not for Profit Organisations, sponsored by the Kea Coaching Trust teaching managers how to have coach like conversations, and has spoken at a conference of Canterbury Deputy Principals and to Rotary.

Tia also make time to express her creativity through her other passion and business, her uniquely created StarSeed jewellery.
