Move | Breathe | Restore

Located: Arataki, Mount Maunganui.

In Māori, Hā translates to breath, prana, life force - the essence of life.

Across cultures, our breath is linked to energy, spirit, and prana: the vital force that flows through us.

We believe that breath is where movement begins, where stillness is found, and where we can return to ourselves.

Combined, breath and movement heals.

Meet The Instructors

Nickee Evelyn

Founder

I’m Nickee - kaitiaki of Hā Wellness. I created this studio as a sanctuary for people to reconnect with themselves and their breath.

I’m a certified Mat, Reformer, Barre and Yoga instructor, with over 500 hours of Yin and Vinyasa training, including Māori YTT.

Movement has always been part of my life, my interests in mindfulness followed, and I'll forever be a learner of te ao Māori, which is a culture I feel privileged to call my own.

Tohaina ō painga ki te ao.

Phoebe

Mat & Reformer

Brings a warm, uplifting energy to every class with just the right amount of burn. Trained through Barre Body Australia, I weave mindful movement with intentional strength.

Pilates is my balance - a space to ground the mind while challenging the body. It’s where I’ve found resilience, focus, and a deeper connection to myself.

Expect spicy core sets, thoughtful cues, and playlists that keep you moving through the shake - always leaving with both strength and a smile.

Hana

Reformer & Barre

Having grown up dancing, movement has always been a huge part of my life. Seeing firsthand how poor movement patterns can lead to injury inspired my passion for helping others move well.

I love helping people build strength, confidence, and body awareness so they can move through everyday life with ease. My classes are supportive, fun, and designed to leave you feeling stronger and empowered.

Chloe

Reformer, Mat & Barre

Movement has always been a huge part of Chloe’s life. After many years working professionally as a dancer here in NZ and internationally, she naturally transitioned into teaching, bringing with her a strong awareness of movement patterns, technique and how the body moves.

Her barre journey began over 14 years ago, leading her to train in Mat Pilates, Pre & Post Natal Pilates and Total Barre with STOTT, followed by further training in ‘The Method’ Barre, Suspension Barre, Pre & Post natal barre and then from there her fitness papers in Australia.

Most recently, she completed her Reformer teacher training through Polestar Pilates.

Grace

Reformer

I’m Grace, a Certified Reformer Pilates instructor.

I love building community through all types of movement and empowering clients with the tools they need to master their own strength. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, I’m here to help you move with purpose.

Expect an athletic approach, dynamic spicy flows, and classes that challenge you in all the right ways. Options are always offered, and you’ll leave feeling stronger, longer, and more connected.

Laura

Reformer

I am a certified Reformer Pilates Instructor, and studying Barre Body Mat Pilates.

I have always loved movement from a young age, starting with gymnastics & volleyball, to falling in love with hiking and pilates.

Movement & especially Pilates has helped me re-gain strength & confidence post injury, and was a pillar for me to lean on, when life throws a curve ball your way. Which is why I have decided to become a Pilates Instructor, as I wanted to do help people with pilates, the way it helped me.
