Feminine Wisdom | Multidimensional Healing | Mentor | Nourish & Bloom Co-Founder

Through life's deepest initiations, Heliena has walked the path of profound loss, surrender, and rebirth - experiences that became the catalyst for a lifelong devotion to understanding the body, nervous system, psyche, and the innate intelligence that guides healing.

From a young age, Heliena experienced a deep sensitivity and connection to energy and the spirit realms that extended beyond our physical world. As her own healing journey unfolded, decades of lived experience, inner work, and embodied wisdom refined her innate gifts, shaping the unique way she now guides and supports women through inner healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.

Her work weaves together multidimensional healing, subconscious reprogramming, nervous system toning and regulation, guided journeys, and somatic practices that support women's health, vitality, and overall wellbeing. Heliena creates a space where women feel deeply safe, seen, and supported to explore the deepest parts of themselves, uncovering the subconscious patterns, protective responses, unprocessed emotions, and trauma that are often keeping them stuck in survival mode, chronically stressed, burnt out, and disconnected from themselves and others.

As these layers are worked through, women find they are able to reconnect with themselves in ways they haven't experienced before, cultivate a deeper trust in their intuition, embody their feminine power, sovereignty and creativity and learn how to take aligned action in ways that creates meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

Nourish & Bloom Co-Creator | Sacred Space Holder + Guide

Chelsea is one of New Zealand’s most loved and trusted public figures – her connection with people built through food, but rooted in something far deeper.

For over a decade, she has built a bond of loyalty and authenticity through her recipes, her honesty, and her grounded, down-to-earth way of being. Many have grown alongside her and walked their own personal evolutions in parallel.

While much of her journey has unfolded in public, her most profound transformations have been deeply personal. She has moved through seasons of deep loss – of self, of meaning, of inner light. Through it all, she has rebuilt herself time and again, integrating every fall, every rise and every lesson. In that process, something was awakened – a spark of feminine remembrance that now calls her to help other women rise. Her wisdom is lived, not learned, and what she offers now flows from embodiment.

With humour as medicine, an easeful, welcoming presence, and a gift for truly seeing others (with compassion, beyond the surface) Chelsea creates spaces where women feel safe to soften, unravel, and return to themselves.

After 13 years of nourishing others through food, this retreat marks a new kind of nourishment – one that feeds the soul.
