✨ Almora Beyond The Horizon – Where Your Soul Remembers Its Power ✨
We walk between worlds – weaving ancient wisdom with modern awakening, honoring both spiritual and indigenous roots to guide you home to your true, radiant self.
This is more than healing. More than guidance. This is a sacred homecoming – a reconnection to Earth’s heartbeat, the cosmos’ whisper, and the infinite love that lives within you.
To empower you to rise into your most expansive, creative, abundant life – the one your soul already remembers.
A luminous presence beyond the physical, Almora now works through spirit to awaken humanity in this pivotal time of transformation.
To live fully, we must honor all parts of ourselves:
🌿 Tinana (The Body) – Your sacred vessel (health, movement, nourishment)
🌌 Hinengaro (The Mind) – Your thoughts and emotions, the bridge between worlds
✨ Wairua (The Spirit) – Your eternal essence, often neglected yet most vital
When these align? Miracles become ordinary.
Whānau, Whanaungatanga – You are never alone. In this web of life, your growth ripples across the universe.
"Almora illuminates the path to your greatness through the sacred classroom of life itself."
Are you ready to:
The horizon is calling. Step beyond.
💫 With love, wisdom, and infinite belief in you,
Almora Beyond The Horizon
The love you seek? The power you crave? It’s already yours.
Let’s awaken it together.
For over thirty years, I have been humbled to witness the impossible become possible. Time and again, I've seen life rewrite its own rules when someone chooses to believe in their own magic.
Here’s what I know for certain: Miracles don’t happen to people—they happen through them.
Where logic says "no way," the soul whispers: "Watch me." This isn’t just my work—it’s yours. These miracles weren’t random; they were claimed by people who dared to remember their power.
✨ The only question left is: Are you ready to begin? ✨
I grew up in a small island off the coast of France, Jersey (Channel Islands), and have lived in New Zealand since 1994. In my childhood, I experienced frequent visitations from spirits in our old Victorian house, sparking questions about life, death, and beyond. I soon realized that neither scientific nor religious explanations satisfied me, fueling my lifelong quest for deeper answers.
My career began at a travel agency in Jersey, then as a ship stewardess, followed by work in airports and business travel. This global journey introduced me to seen and unseen worlds, leading me to study metaphysics, past-life therapy, and various healing modalities. I traveled to over 30 countries across 37 years, guided by remarkable teachers, both physical and spiritual.
Growing up near ancient sites on Jersey, some older than Stonehenge, gave me early inspiration. I often felt the presence of those who once lived there and caught glimpses of my own past lives. These experiences drew me to powerful energy sites worldwide, leaving me feeling refreshed, peaceful, and filled with insights.
In the 1980s, I deepened my exploration, visiting ancient sites in the UK, Europe, Egypt, the Americas, Israel, the Middle and Far East, Australia, the Pacific, and beyond.
I am trained in Tikanga (cultural/spiritual) counseling and am passionate about people’s well being, and spiritual growth.
Taha Wairua, Taha Hinengaro, Taha Tinana, Taha Whanau. (Spirit, mind, body, and family)
I also like to implement a sacred sound with both my voice and indigenous instruments in my healing work.
I believe sound and its vibrations transcends time and space, penetrating deep into our cellular memories bringing balance and well-being in one’s life.
My most recent ancestors Ngai Tahu travelled across the oceans to get to Aotearoa. From a very early age, I have felt the call of Tangaroa (the Ocean). I went to sea at 17 as a merchant seaman. I have crossed oceans, lands, mountains, lakes, and air paths on my quest for life.
Te Mana O te Moana was a pivotal journey sailing on a “Haunui” to Turtle Island – North America.
The journeys are as internal as they are external. “Becoming the New Human” through living ancient knowledge and wisdom.
The depth and breadth to my life, the connectedness to the entire universe, is threaded, sewn into every step, every breath, of ALL the travels I do.
I look forward to sharing with you on this journey.
Aio, (Peace to you), Aroha, Ihaia
Tihei Mauri Ora (We share the breath of life)
Three successive phases of Maori tribe settlement took place on the peninsula. Waitaha were the first settlers, followed by Kāti Mamoe, and then Ngai Tahu took over in the 17th century. In the culture of the Māori of New Zealand, a tohunga is an expert practitioner of any skill or art, either religious or otherwise. We know these in other traditions as Shaman. Tohunga includes expert priests, healers, navigators, carvers, builders, teachers, and advisors. A tohunga may have also been the head of a whanau but quite often was also a rangatira and an Ariki.
The equivalent in Hawaiian culture is kahuna, and the first nations people of the Americas are Medicine men and women. In other countries and Europe known as Shamans.
There are many classes of tohunga including:
Each tohunga was a gifted spiritual leader and possessed the natural ability to communicate between the spiritual and temporal realms through karakia (prayers), pātere (chants), or performing waiata (songs) that had been passed down to them by tohunga before them.
However, their rites were mainly in the specific fields in which they practiced, as outlined above.
We were aware after meeting in Feb 2011 that we had come together to guide and support people in their respective journeys. The depth and breadth of our connection and love is an ever-expanding expression of spirit in our lives.
Living, being, working in a soulful relationship is a rewarding and challenging experience.
Our purpose together is to bring inspiration, wisdom, expansion, empowerment, and love to individuals and groups of people. Who are awakening to the great journey of the incredible changes within and without on the planet now.
Supporting you to find your own gifts and unique contribution to what is occurring through these unprecedented times.
The Banks Peninsula is a special place for us for different reasons
Ihaia’s family tribes and Runanga (sub-tribes) come from the Banks Peninsula koukourarata Port Levy (mother’s tribal side) and Rapaki (father’s tribal side) and he has deep spiritual and cultural roots, spanning back for many generations from these areas.
They are both coastal areas on the rim of the extinct Volcanoes and have a deep family, spiritual and cultural history to him.
Dellaina has had a great love of this place from the time she moved to Christchurch in 1994 and has been facilitating regular retreats, courses, and workshops here since 2005.
We met on Waitangi Day 2011 at Okains Bay Marae.
This was Dellaina’s Citizenship ceremony, just before the earthquake. Ihaia was a speaker on behalf of the tribal people of the area at the Waitangi Day ceremonies.
So the Banks Peninsula also holds a special place in our hearts.
