Personal Mentoring
Your Poutama: Step Into Growth with 1:1 Mentoring
Step with strength, rise with purpose.
At Catalyst Physio & Wellbeing, personal mentoring is a journey walked together. Guided by the principles of Te Ao Māori, we honour your poutama, the staircase of growth, where each step strengthens not only you, but also your whānau (family), community, and practice.
The Mentoring Journey
Our 1:1 mentoring follows the steps of the poutama:
Whakawhanaungatanga (Connection & Trust)
We begin by building a relationship, understanding your whakapapa (lineage, personal story), and where you draw strength from.Whainga (Goals & Direction)
Together we set clear, meaningful goals that reflect your vision and values — professionally and personally.Whakatipu (Growth & Development)
Step by step, we work through challenges and opportunities, nurturing resilience, confidence, and balance.Whakamana (Empowerment)
The outcome is not just growth, but empowerment — stepping forward with clarity and strength, grounded in who you are.
Our Values
