“I BELIEVE THAT NOW MORE THAN EVER WE MUST COMMIT TO FULLY BEING IN OUR LIFE, ENJOYING OUR LIFE AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH BEING ALIVE RIGHT NOW, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT GIVING UP ON OUR BIG DREAMS, CREATIVE VISIONS AND intentional GOALS.”

I’m Bridget, but you can call me Bids. I am an emotional Manifesting Generator, a Sagittarius with a heavy dose of Scorpio, Capricorn and Cancer, a lover of potatoes, spaciousness, Mother Earth, and heart-connected living. I am a mama, a partner, a creative, a life coach, a business mentor and an intuitive guide.

All these labels describe who I am, but the reason I do what I do is because I believe that being alive is an indescribable blessing and miracle. As humans, we experience a full range of emotions and experiences, and there is beauty in that: to be alive, to have a beating heart, to feel gratitude, to feel grief, and everything in between; we should never take it for granted.

It genuinely hurts my heart to think there are women out there simply tolerating their lives, existing in a ‘good enough’ life, and an ‘I’ll do that one-day’ life. Women living each day with stress, overwhelm, dissatisfaction and frustration as their default setting.

We all deserve more than that.

You deserve more than that.

And I’m here to show you how that is possible for you.

I support women like you in finding harmony between grounding and growth, practicality and the profound, and being present in our lives right now while having fun bringing the future of our dreams to life. Now more than ever, we owe it to ourselves to commit to living our fullest, most joyful lives.

Love Bids xx

From farm life to dreaming big

Born in 1989, I was blessed to grow up on a farm in rural Southland, at the end of New Zealand. As the youngest of three, my childhood was filled with mud pies, pet animals, helping my mama in the garden, and learning about the influences of Mother Nature’s seasons.

Ticking the boxes of cultural expectations, I moved from school to four years at university and into my teaching career. But life wasn’t living up to my expectations; the energetic strain of following a path that wasn’t mine was disempowering and stressful. The niggling feeling that “this can’t be it” prompted me to change the course of my life, and I began the journey of letting go of all of the shoulds in my life in pursuit of a new autonomous way of being.

I started by holistically developing the foundations of my well-being and life; strengthening my relationship with the truest version of myself, getting clear on my values and what I wanted my life to look like and feel like, not just in that moment but in the future too. Then I took action.

Day by day, choice by choice - I created my life.

Living out my future visions

In the present, riding the ebb and flow of change and growth, I live the future my past self imagined: residing in a nourishing and soulful beachside community in Northland, surrounded by Mother Nature’s beauty, while I raise my family with the love of my life. All while running a business with a thriving community of soulful clients who are ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in the pursuit of their own dream life.

When I’m not at work, you can find me at the beach walking or playing in the waves with my family, having dance parties in my kitchen, building forts, baking bread and stocking the fridge with nourishing meals or sipping cacao or herbal tea in the sunshine. I love inspiring chats, moving my body (currently obsessed with pilates), putting pen to paper for a big old life and business heart-storm, and planning my week in my planner with way too many highlighters and stickers. But mostly you’ll find me making memories and being present in my life.
