How I Show Up Now
An event to reconnect with yourself. Properly.
Now over two days.
For women who are doing life well, but don’t recognise themselves anymore.
Coming to Auckland and for the first time, Christchurch.
NOW TWO DAYS
Two days to come home to yourself
The very first How I Show Up Now was a single, beautiful day and the one thing every woman said afterwards was that she wished it could have lasted longer.
So it has grown. How I Show Up Now is now a two-day experience.
Day one, we turn inward, breath, body, nourishment, and the quiet, honest work of reconnecting with who you are now.
Day two, we step outward, colour, style, hair, a makeup lesson, and a personal portrait session that captures the woman you've become. You leave not reinvented, but recognised.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You just need support to meet yourself where you are now.
This day is for you if…
Your life is full and good, but when you catch your reflection, you don’t quite recognise yourself anymore.
What used to work for you no longer fits, and you’re ready for guidance that meets you exactly where you are now.
You’re not chasing a reinvention or a glow-up, you simply want to feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself again.
You've been giving so much to everyone else that you've quietly slipped down your own list.
Why This Day Matters Right Now
A lot of women I speak to say something like, “I love my life, but when I see myself in the mirror, it doesn’t feel like me anymore.”
You’re grateful, you’re committed, you’re present, but something feels different and you can’t quite put your finger on why.
Maybe your makeup isn’t flattering like it used to. Maybe your clothes feel awkward or uncertain on your body. Maybe your energy doesn’t match the life you’re living.
This experience was created for that exact in-between moment, not crisis, not reinvention, just reconnection.
Investment
How I Show Up Now is a premium, intentionally small-group experience and places are deliberately limited so every woman is truly seen.
We open each city by invitation: register your interest and we'll share full details, dates and pricing as your city's group comes together.
There's no commitment in registering, just the first step.
What’s Included

Breath, meditation, nutrition and hormones, and strength for the years ahead
The inner work, identity, boundaries, self-compassion and what's next

Take-home gifts and practical tools you'll return to again and again
You’ll leave with…
A clearer sense of yourself. Not the version you used to be, and not someone new, but you as you are now.
You’ll have practical, repeatable tools that make getting ready simpler and more intuitive. Less second-guessing. Less standing in front of the mirror wondering what’s changed and why nothing feels quite right.
You’ll feel more at ease in your body, your clothes, and your presence. More confident walking into rooms, meetings, and everyday moments, without overthinking how you look or how you’re being perceived.
And this doesn’t stop when the day finishes.
What tends to shift is how you move through ordinary moments. Getting dressed with less noise. Catching your reflection and feeling steadier. Showing up with a clearer sense of yourself.
The insight from the day is designed to be something you return to. Not a one-off experience, but support you can use again when things start to feel uncertain or misaligned.
Most of all, you’ll leave with relief. The kind that comes from feeling supported, understood, and gently guided, rather than fixed or pushed.
This isn’t about reinvention.
It’s about clarity, ease, and feeling more like yourself.
-
Absolutely not. There’s no “turning back the clock” language here. This experience is about acceptance, adjustment and confidence in the body and face you have today.
-
No. This is not about transforming you into someone else or doing dramatic before-and-afters. It’s about understanding what’s changed and learning how to work with it in a way that feels aligned and kind.
-
No. The pacing is intentional. There are breaks, quiet moments and space to breathe. This is not a packed schedule designed to squeeze as much in as possible. It’s designed so things actually land.
-
Not at all. In fact, many women come because they aren’t. The photography part of the experience is calm, supportive and unrushed. You’re guided the whole way and nothing is forced or performative.
-
That’s often a good sign. Curiosity is enough to start the conversation
-
Neither. How I Show Up Now is a two-day, in-person experience. There’s learning, application and reflection, but it’s not classroom-style and it’s not a retreat. It’s designed to feel grounded, practical and human.
-
Women who feel like they’ve changed and want support to show up confidently now.
If you’ve noticed shifts in your body, face, energy or confidence and feel unsure how to adapt, this experience was designed for you.Most women who enquire are in their mid-40s and beyond.
-
No. There’s no pressure to speak, share or perform. Conversation is optional, silence is welcome, and the group dynamic is gentle and respectful. You get to participate in a way that feels right for you.
-
That’s completely fine. Many women come feeling unclear, not broken. You don’t need to arrive with answers. The day is about creating clarity, not demanding certainty.
-
You’ll receive simple guidance beforehand, but the short answer is: come comfortable. This isn’t a fashion parade. The styling session is about learning, not judging what you arrive in.
-
The group is intentionally small. Between 10-15 women. This keeps the experience calm, personal and supportive.
-
You’ll receive a curated selection of 5 professionally edited images that reflect who you are now.
-
Yes. Lunch is included and forms part of the experience. It’s a relaxed, seated meal with a nutrition conversation focused on this stage of life. Nothing preachy. Nothing extreme.
-
Yes. This experience was created with that life stage very much in mind, including changes in energy, body shape, skin and confidence.
-
No high-intensity movement is involved. The morning reset is gentle, accessible and chair-friendly if needed. This is not exercise or yoga.
-
Only a limited number of times. This isn’t a mass event. Each day requires a lot of care and intention, so availability will be limited.
-
The first step is to send through your expression of Interest on the form.

About Keri
I’ve spent years working closely with women, watching how confidently they lead, care, build, and show up for others, while quietly feeling unsure about themselves.
I created How I Show Up Now because I’ve seen how disorienting it can be when your reflection no longer matches the life you’re living. Not because anything is wrong, but because bodies, faces, and seasons change, and no one really teaches us how to adapt with kindness.
This day brings together everything I know about presence, photography, confidence, and being seen, in a way that feels calm, practical, and human.
You don’t need to arrive confident. You just need to arrive as you are.
Why this day is intentionally limited
This experience is kept small on purpose.
Limiting numbers allows the day to move at an unhurried pace and ensures each woman receives personal attention, space, and care. It also creates a quieter, more supportive environment where people feel comfortable being themselves.
This isn’t a large workshop. It’s a considered, shared experience.
