Cameron Tukapua

Heartfelt Coach, Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Early life
Cameron grew up in New Zealand running free in nature, swimming in rivers, riding horses, and having fun. Heart health challenges in her family took her into the depths of Soulful living at a young age. As an empath she felt what wasn’t being said. Cameron had a knowing of how to relieve stress and pressure by transforming blocked energy. This became her superpower used today to facilitate healing for individuals and groups. At a young age, she learned that vulnerability is a doorway to authenticity.

Chinese medicine
In 1983, Cameron began her study of Chinese medicine, a nature-based medical system that felt deeply familiar. During her college years, she started practising meditation, yoga, Silva Mind Control, Tai Chi, and chanting. These tools helped align her head and heart and supported her search for peace of mind. This heartfelt way of living remains the core of her lifelong practice.

Retreats
In 1993, Cameron taught for a year at a retreat centre in Hawaii. There she discovered the power of full-immersion healing retreats. For more than three decades, she has co-hosted yoga, qigong, and wellbeing retreats in Hawaii, China, Bali, Australia, the UK, and New Zealand.

Acupuncture and Professional Development Training
At midlife, Cameron founded an acupuncture college, a nine-year journey that helped many people establish wonderful careers. During those years, she immersed herself in professional development training based on the archetypal teachings of Dr. Angeles Arrien, a cross-cultural anthropologist. In 2006, Cameron sold the college and moved to Northland.

Heartfelt Living book
During the Covid years, Cameron wrote a book titled Heartfelt Living: Your Ancient Wisdom Guide to Healing and Spiritual Awakening. The book is a fusion of teachings from Chinese medicine, yogic philosophy, and Indigenous wisdom traditions. It offers simple language for engaging your higher Self awareness as a guide for navigating your outer world.
