About Us

Tee is a Registered Nurse of 24 years, and has been in various roles with Fire and Emergency New Zealand, formerly the New Zealand Fire Service, over the past 19 years. Tee loves working in the medical and trauma emergency management and response space, and loves to bring these experiences to her workshops and training - its 'real life stuff'.  

Over the years Tee has been involved in Post Graduate studies in Resuscitation, and Violence & Trauma Studies, with specific interests in:

• Historic and intergenerational transmission of trauma and the health and wellbeing impacts over the life span
• Family Violence legislation over the decades and how this works for those affected by Family Violence.
• Historic trauma and modern day stressors
• Holistic Wellbeing and Psychological First Aid models
• Emergency Responders affected by historic trauma, how this may converge in their roles in the community, and mitigating factors
• 'Happiology' or 'Toxic Positivity', and the effect on emotions 
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and/or child abuse and neglect
• Cartesian Dualism and Body as Machine, the ongoing affect of this our health system, and its impact on recognition of the physio-emotional impact of trauma

Tee's goal, through Magenta Blue Ltd is to: 

• Work with businesses, community groups, and the public, on understanding/recognising the effects of Historic Trauma, Family Violence, Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma, and these factors on health and wellbeing across the lifespan
• Work with businesses, community groups, and the public, to help meet the Te Aorerekura National Strategy to Eliminate Family and Sexual Violence through our workshops and ongoing follow up support
• Facilitate understanding and recognition of the collision of Historic Trauma and modern day stressors.

• To work with businesses, community groups, and the public, facilitating workshops in Safe Relationships, Attachment and Connection, Sexual Safety and Consent

The meaning behind Magenta Blue is a play on words, the colours are representative of her inspiration(s) to start the organisation, and it is also representative of the beacons on our emergency appliances - while we don't want to be the 'ambulance at the bottom of the hill', we acknowledge that it is likely that is where we will start, working our way back up to the top of the cliff and to safe and secure ground.
