Ngākau Toi:
Printables & Creative Resources
Grounded with Whānau Inspiration
Ngākau Toi is where you’ll find creative resources made to support your self-awareness and healing journey. From printable cards and colouring pages to visual tools that encourage reflection, everything here is designed with intention. These are practical, heart-led tools to help you pause, reconnect, and move forward with clarity. Much of what you see here begins as a sketch — often inspired by my own life, especially the wāhine in my whānau. My mum, in particular, has been a quiet influence behind many of these creations.
My Creative Process
My creative process often begins with a feeling — something stirred by the season I’m in, or what my whānau are moving through. This particular piece was inspired by the arrival of a new mokopuna in our extended whānau — a quiet reminder of legacy, connection, and beginnings. I don’t always know what will come through when I sit down to draw, but I trust that what wants to be expressed will find its way. The following time-lapse captures part of that process: slow, intuitive, and grounded in wairua.
Sometimes It Starts as a Doodle
From pencil to ink, from paper to page — this is the visual heartbeat of my creative process.
These pieces each carry a wairua of their own, shaped by the seasons of my life and the stories of my whānau.
From Pen to Pixel — Evolving With the Season
As my creative practice deepened, so did the ways it wanted to be expressed. What once began as pencil sketches and journal scribbles started to take shape in the digital realm, not to replace the handmade, but to extend its reach.
The Vision Break Cards were my first digital creation, born during a time when I was learning to pause, reset, and reconnect with what matters most. These gentle prompts are like whispers from your ngākau, reminding you to return to yourself — even if only for a moment.
Ngākau Vision Break Cards
Take a sacred pause — your ngākau knows what you need.

Ngākau Remembers –
A Reflection Deck
Created in the sacred transition from parent to wāhine, this gentle deck emerged during a season of quiet reclamation. As the whare shifted and space opened, so too did the parts of self that had been waiting patiently to return. Each page is a soft remembering — an invitation to come home to who you are beyond the roles, beyond the noise, and back into your own rhythm.
