About Me Cherish Wellbeing is solely owned and operated by myself - Philippa Ross.   My passion is people - inspiring them to step outside of tradition and chase their dreams. Being a non-conformist with a dislike for labels or titles that pigeon hole people; I have invented my own role as an 'Enthusiologist". I have an Honours Degree in Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Child Development, am a Reiki II practitioner an Equine Assisted Learning facilitator and Zumba Gold dance fitness instructor. I have worked in a variety of industries including family therapy, law, radio, television, advertising, education, finance, and catering. My most rewarding role has been that of a mother - two gorgeous self confident teenagers - one of each flavour.  While my professional qualifications give me credibility, I believe it is my down to earth, non judgemental, optimistic character and sense of humour which secures the strong rapport I have with my clientelle.  I have faced my own personal adversities and can empathise with people from a place of really knowing what its like to face hardship, have low self esteem, little confidence, lack of energy, motivation, direction, focus and purpose. I pride myself on providing fun, empathetic, confidential and non judgemental mentoring with a range of personally developed strategic tools that will motive you to nurture and nourish your personal power and potential. These strategies will give you an in depth insight into your own personal needs and help you to make the changes you want to make so you feel totally fit and bouncing with energy.

I call it play with a purpose. In short, horses mirror human behaviour, and provide an awesome tool to learn about our thoughts, feelings and actions. It is non skilled based - with the emphasis placed on the process of tasks as opposed to achieving the objective - the journey as opposed to the destination. You will discover ways to improve communication and building relationships and all the traits of a great leader. Whether you are a business leader, teacher, tutor or just want to lead your life, horses can reflect how you currently lead and show you a pathway to further enhance your current leadership skills and style. Supervision Supervision sessions play a vital part in managing, motivating, supporting, monitoring, evaluating and training staff; as well as monitoring the services aims and ensuring they are aligned with the vision and mission statement of the organisation as a whole.  "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value" Testimonials "She created a safe environment in which I could explore my own feelings.  She is supportive, encouraging and has practical solutions".   JD-Whangarei "Philippa treated us both as important valued  individuals giving us both what we needed without taking anything away from either of us".   GL & NL-Bream Bay "Non threatening, fun and thought provoking  presenter." - AW-Maungaturoto  "Philippa has a "no frills" easy going nature, easy to talk to and what she says seems to be  working."  MS Bream Bay
