Kind Living … mind-body wellness for lasting change
Kia ora, I am Uschi.
I love what I do, which is helping people live their unique and brilliant life with grace, courage and kindness.
My motto: “Never say never.” You don’t know what you are capable of until you are doing it.
When I was young, I was very stubborn and in need to prove to myself and to the world that I can do anything. My stubborn streak had its challenges but it also provided me with the zest and grit to challenge the status quo and remain true to my values and my dreams. It wasn’t always comfortable or easy but it gave me a sense of freedom from within, which I treasured greatly and still do.
These days I am much less stubborn, more open and happy with who I am. I am also less serious and laugh much more easily. It appears that the older I get the more light-hearted I feel—light and free. I believe that, after all is said and done, what we really want is to be free to live the life that is right for us.
Based in Dunedin, I help women like you release tension, shift your mindset and create a life aligned with your true values—so you can experience more calm, clarity, and connection.
My work is rooted in over 30 years of exploring the mind-body-spirit connection. I’ve studied therapeutic bodywork and classic yoga—including breathwork, chakra psychology, chanting, and meditation. I hold an internationally recognised certificate in life coaching, a BA in Educational Psychology, and training in natural birth education.
My approach blends ancient wisdom with the latest research in neuroscience and wellbeing. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, renewed energy, greater clarity, or the courage to bring a long-held dream to life, I tailor each session to meet you where you are. I am skilled in weaving together practical tools, intuitive guidance, and embodied practices to create real and lasting shifts in both body and mind.
