Hāweatea Holly Bryson (Hāwea) is the founder of Nature Knows,  and a specialist in trauma, transition, and transformation. She is  a nature-based indigenous psychotherapist, counselor, and Māori healing practitioner.

Hāwea’s community bases span Hawai’i Island, Australia, and Aotearoa, where she also trains facilitators and therapists in rites of passage, ecopsychology, and profound ways of listening.

Rooted in her tribal lineage of Ngāi Tahu & Waitaha, Hāwea has spent 15 years guiding rites of passage, committing herself to the resurgence and retrieval of our Ways of Knowing. Her work is driven by a lifelong fascination with human energy and the unique, innate power we each hold to heal and move toward greater alignment.
