Testimonials
"As I have journeyed through my self-identity mahi, I have valued the kōrero that Leisa brings with empathy and kindness. Supervision with her is a grounding and empowering space. Leisa’s mahi truly makes an impact within my practice. She brings deep insight, cultural humility, and a calm presence that helps me navigate complexity with clarity and confidence both professionally and personally."
“Leisa taught us how to pronounce words and phrases that we could use every day. She demonstrated patience, persistence, and practical examples of how to speak, work together with others. It was a very rewarding experience, with lots of encouragement by Leisa she made it an inviting atmosphere filled with fun as we learned the basics of Te Reo, a beautiful pounamu (treasure) given to us."

Practise Expertise
I have supervised practitioners, team leaders and managers for over 2 decades, and practiced in a range of social work and academic settings. I really enjoy seeing people grow professionally and personally, realising their potential and maintaining their wellbeing.
Cultural Expertise
I am passionate about maximising mātauranga Māori in practice. I believe there is a huge amount of wisdom embedded in traditional processes and narratives. This commitment to supporting us all to draw on this wisdom led to me developing and selling whakataukī-based resource sets – click here to view
Reflections from practise
Te timatanga o te mātauranga ko te wahangū, te wāhanga tuarua ko te whakarongo.
The first stage of learning is silence, the second is listening.
As a supervisor and kaitiaki, it is my role to really listen to my supervisees. I invite you to read my reflections from the mahi I do with supervisees, and the learning we gain through this.
