✨ Holistic Healing in Akaroa, New Zealand
🌐 Online Attunements & Distance SessionsFlower Essence Therapy & Reiki in Akaroa
Online Reiki attunements and distance Reiki sessions reach Akaroa from Michigan, which puts a small harbor settlement on the same footing as anywhere else.
Akaroa sits well inside a long harbor on Banks Peninsula, ringed by steep hills that keep the water calm and the village sheltered.
The village is small and the drive over the hills from Christchurch is slow, so anything requiring travel costs half a day at least. Remote delivery removes that question. Sessions are arranged by appointment, and the time difference is worked out in advance rather than assumed.
Akaroa lies at the head of a long inlet on Banks Peninsula, southeast of Christchurch. The harbor is a drowned volcanic crater: the sea broke into the collapsed cone of an old volcano and filled it, which is why the water reaches so far inland between such steep hills. A French company landed settlers here in 1840 intending to found a colony, arriving just after British sovereignty had been declared, and the settlement that followed kept its French character in the street names, which are still given as rues. The lighthouse, moved in from the harbor heads to the foreshore, and the small museum in the old courthouse hold most of what survives from that period. Hector's dolphins, among the smallest and rarest anywhere, live in these waters the year round. Takamatua and French Farm sit further along the shoreline. Delivered online, a gentle practice reaches the far side of the peninsula without anyone driving the hill road.
