Omana Eve
Connected Breath™ & Best Self
Founder and Director of Koru Centre
The strong intention that I hold and weave into every offering, is to connect and strengthen my client to their inner knowing, their empowerment and potential. I meet those I work with wherever they are and empathically guide them to reconnect to their true self, authenticity, and power to create a life that they desire.
My own journey through life has led me to some difficult places. I understand suffering from both physical and mental pain. I've lost deeply, and found the strength to carry on, and to rise above what has held me back from the light that shines within. I've learned to find joy, even alongside the most difficult times of life.
I've relentlessly continued on a healing journey through chronic fatigue, chronic pain, autoimmunity, anxiety, depression, injury, allergies... I've learned to identify the false identities of 'I'm Alone', 'I'm Too Much', 'I'm Not Loved', 'I'm Worthless'. I've transformed these beliefs into 'I'm Connected', 'I'm Brilliant', 'I'm Beloved', and 'I Am Worthy of the Best Life has to Offer'.
Now that I know my worth, I've overcome the years of suffering. I'm free of chronic pain, released from the grips of anxiety, uplifted from depression, and catalysed from fatigue. While I continue to work on myself, releasing the years of burden from my body; I am finally able to unleash my full potential into the world and guide others to do the same. It brings me such joy.
I've dedicated myself to learning from the best

Andrew Perzigian
Acupuncture Works
I graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco in 2011. Upon graduation, I opened a private practice, Wellness Workshop SF and soon joined forces with Acupuncture Kitchen, what was then San Francisco’s preeminent fertility-based practice. After years working almost solely on women’s health and fertility, I needed a change of pace and completed an orthopedic acupuncture apprenticeship program under the guidance of Whitfield Reeves in 2015.
​
Acupuncture Works offers acupuncture and herbal medicine consultations that integrate classical Chinese diagnosis with western medical science. The clinic founder, Andrew Perzigian, brings his experience running and working in San Francisco clinics to the Nelson-Tasman region. He has extensive experience treating digestive, mood and women’s health disorders and has completed apprenticeships in classical pulse diagnosis and orthopaedic acupuncture for the treatment of acute and chronic pain.

Trauma Informed Coaching, Wellness & Nutritional Coaching, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy & Body Work
Younger years beset with challenges, trauma, anxiety and despair sent me down a destructive path which I struggled to get off of for a long time. I experienced abandonment, neglect, isolation, eating-disorders, extreme anxiety, difficult family relationships and adult relationships and I even self-medicated to handle my feelings of shame and self-hatred.
​
This was despite having strong feelings of wanting to reach my potential, live my life free and autonomously and knowing that I must be able to dwell harmoniously in the world and take charge of my life and purpose.
Despite reading my first self-help book at 14 and continuing to fill my brain with knowledge for many years to come, it wasn’t until I found a spiritual life coaching program in 2013, that things started to go in a different direction for me. It turned out that my curiosity and dedication to learning would create a foundation that would serve me well.
​
I’ve since become a Coach, Body Process facilitator, Educator, Compassionate Inquiry (trauma informed) Therapist, Hypnotherapist and am working towards a Certificate of Mental Health and Nutrition. I am studying Clinical Psychology and training as a Psychotherapist whilst building my practice.
​
I have worked long and hard to overcome many wellness issues such as CFS, Raynauds and fibromyalgia, a hell of a menopause journey and persistent injuries which have resulted in two years of pain and suffering. These setbacks have ultimately been my biggest sources of my transformation into the version of me I have been asking for.
​
I am a big believer in epigenetics and using nutrition, mindfulness, supplementation, exercise, spirituality and self-inquiry and healthy connection with others to build a base from which the body and mind can shift and we can embody our best selves.
All these methodologies & the beautiful facilitators and therapists I’ve worked with have helped me integrate my wounds into wisdom, enabling me to serve you in my life’s work and practice.
I can assist you with:
-
Healing trauma
-
Seeing where you brilliance/capacities lie, so you can begin the work to embody these.
-

-
Create a new physiology/wellness through supplementation, diet, exercise & other practices

Tekora Massage Therapy
In 2011, I studied at ANCB College in Australia, where I earned my diploma in Beauty Therapy. It was during this time that I was first introduced to massage, specifically Swedish and hot stone techniques. I quickly developed a passion for massage, and over the years, it became the focus of my practice. As I found myself choosing massage over other treatments, I realized this was the path I wanted to pursue as a career.
In 2019, I took a break when I moved countries and started a family. Now, I live in sunny Nelson with my family of three, cherishing every moment. While I love my role as a mother, I also wanted to reignite my career—seeking a balance between professional fulfilment and family life.
At the end of 2023, I founded Tekora Massage Therapy. Eager to expand my skills, I discovered Holistic Massage and studied at Holistic Health Training. From the very first lesson, everything clicked into place. Holistic massage goes beyond addressing physical discomfort; it focuses on working with the individual to restore balance and harmony between the body and mind, promoting both comfort and relaxation.
I currently offer relaxation and deep tissue massages with a holistic approach, and I am committed to continuing my education to offer additional services in the future.
