I recently had a maintenance session with the beautiful Pene, guiding my locs into the next stage of their growth. 🌿

When Pene first created my locs, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. After a beautiful day filled with intention, aroha and grace, I walked away feeling transformed.

At first, my locs seemed to want to hide. They were quiet, a little shy, finding their way.

But as we’ve grown more familiar with one another, they definitely want to come out and play. ✨ They are cheeky, unexpected and a little wild—and they remind me every day to be true to myself.

This maintenance session was about gently guiding those little flyaway strands back into a sense of unity and cohesion, while laying the foundations for what these locs will eventually become.

And, as always, Pene approached her work like an artist creating beauty.

Her care and attention to detail are what define her work. She understands that locs are not simply something to be shaped or controlled, but that they have their own process, their own journey and their own way of becoming.

That awareness is transferred through her hands as she gives each individual loc her undivided attention.

There is something deeply beautiful about watching someone work with such patience, presence and reverence.

Pene is a true artist. 🤎

And perhaps that’s what I’m learning through this journey too—that we can guide, nurture and tend to our becoming, while still allowing ourselves the freedom to grow into whatever it is we are meant to become.

A little less control.
A little more trust.
And plenty of room to come out and play.

I give my time in these sessions a 5 star rating for the following reasons...
Comfortable space,
Easy to talk to,
info is worded and conveyed in a way I feel everyone would be able to learn from and apply in thier own life
And overall a very enlightening experience.
