About Cameron Tukapua
Cameron is my original family name which I claimed when my father passed away, it connects me to my farming background and the ways of land based people.
Carrying this name reminds me to have fun, keep life simple, and live close to nature.
Tukapua is my married Maori name. Tu means ‘to stand’ and kapua is ‘the clouds’.
Chinese philosophy and other indigenous cultures recognise three worlds, a worldview shared by indigenous people.
Below, Mama Earth, the material world. Above, Father Sky, the spirit world.
As humans we stand between the worlds bridging physical and non-physical realms, which connect through the Heart.
Our worldviews drive our behaviour. From day one of Chinese medicine study my life transformed.
I could suddenly see how I belong to a living system of energy that is always seeking balance. I could also make sense of my history as a link to destiny.
My personal/professional experience has shown me connection is everything. When we are seen, heard, and valued for who we are, we heal. Inclusion is medicine.
Feeling separate and imperfect are humanity’s primal wounds. Seeing ourselves as whole and beautiful, frees us to become the person we’re born to be.
I help people explore their spiritual Self-identity by connecting the Heart and mind. Learning to live a grounded spiritual life has been the core quest of my existence. Helping others do the same is the natural extension of my practice.
Cameron Tukapua, Wellbeing Coach, Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Teacher / Facilitator
Ten years after starting acupuncture I taught for a year at a Wellbeing retreat centre in Hawaii. In the late 90’s I started an Acupuncture College which I ran for 8 years. For 2 decades I facilitated Qigong, and Yoga retreats in China, Bali and New Zealand.
Connecting to my Heart and taking charge of my mind transformed my life. To share what I’ve learned I’ve synthesised my discoveries into bite sized, healing pathways. These are now offered online in-group coaching courses and on-demand webinars.
