Babette Lategan

Hey, I’m Babette! I am a Registered Nurse in Wellington, who loves health, wellness & self development.

My ideal weekend would involve any form of exercise / a walk along the waterfront, a coffee or brunch date, baking and cooking / meal prep, reading, church and enjoying the weather! I love creating new relationships with people and very much value people in my life that are positive and add value!

Aysia Hampton

Hey, my name is Aysia! I currently live in the Kapiti coast with my hubby and our three little boys. I was a stay at home mum for just over four years, however this year I started work as a full time barista.

I am really excited to be a part of this community- I have a deep passion and love for people and for building connections and new relationships. It is such an honour for me to be able to guide other women in this journey.

Ricki Jane

Hey there! I’m Ricki-Jane, I love expressing myself through, dancing, singing, music, anything creative truly captivates my heart and soul. One of the most important parts of my life is my adorable furry companion, Annie. Being a dog mum brings me so much joy.

Dancing allows me to let go and tell stories through movement. When I’m not dancing and sharing my personal narratives, you can most likely find me attending concerts and gigs, where I get to listen to my talented friends pouring their souls into their creative lyrics and sharing their own unique stories. Lately, I’ve been exploring the world of TikTok and have been enjoying recording these captivating rhapsodies. It’s a fantastic way for me to capture snippets of my day and cherish the little moments that make life extraordinary. By sharing these videos, I hope to inspire others and create connections with fellow art enthusiasts. I can’t wait to see what opportunity pops up next and the awesome people I might meet!

Heya!!

My name is Hayley, I moved to Wellington in 2020 to study and have loved it ever since :)) I am working as a corporate girly at the moment and aim to finish my CA before moving to onto my next chapter.

I’m in love with Welly and all it has to offer. I enjoy trying new food spots, going out for drinks, hosting friends for the evening and soaking up the summer sun! I am grateful to be apart of this community and I can’t wait to meet you <3

Michaela Fietcher

Hello!

My name is Michaela, I am currently living in Porirua!

I love being outdoors, coffee dates and fellowship. 

I’m an introvert at heart but I love stepping out of my comfort zone and giving things a go. If I’m not at my 9-5 you will most likely find me going for a run, dragon boating or reading.

Building meaningful relationships among fellow women is a passion of mine.

I’ve seen the impact that fellowship has had in my life and I want to be able to share that joy with other women.

Hayley Ringot

Hi ladies! I’m Hayley. 

I’m 27 and am now based in our exciting capital city of Wellington with my husband and two fur babies after growing up on the gorgeous Kāpiti Coast. I work in communications by day but by night, it’s a different story.

Not one day seems to stay the same in my world - whether it’s trying my hand at a new sport like archery, brunching and spending quality time with friends, or preparing for the stage with the World of WearableArt (WOW) troupe.

But the thing that brings me the most joy is connecting with people. My mission is to provide more opportunities for Wellington women to expand their friendship group, try something new, and live a little outside of the their comfort zone - because life’s just full of adventures waiting to be had and it’s even better if you can make some fantastic friends along the way! I can't wait to meet you :)

Megan Hume

Hello, I'm Megan, a Landscape Architecture student at Wellington University. I adore flowers, native birds, and appreciating beautifully designed things. Study break walks and hot drink talks are my favourite ways to unwind, appreciating life in all its little moments.

My days are filled with listening to music, drawing, crafting, and exploring Wellington city, but I find my true joy in the great outdoors and being near the ocean. I have a passion for making room decorations, trying out new recipes, colouring, and, of course, indulging in sweet brunch menu items and ice cream. I'm always up for an adventure. Let's create, explore, and make memories together!

Amelia Frances

Hi, 

I’m Amelia, I'm currently studying my Masters in Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington. Originally I grew up in London before moving to Dunedin when I was twelve and have loved every moment, from swimming at the beach to the afternoon barbecue with family.

When I'm not at Uni, I love going for walks around the waterfront with friends (especially at sunset), baking sweet treats, making little Tik Toks about my life and hosting little get-togethers with friends!! 

Having lived abroad and moved schools a few times while growing up, I know it can be hard to meet new people, so I'm excited for the opportunity to spark conversations and meet like minded girls!

I enjoy yoga, going for walks on the beach, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I am a hugely organised person who gets a lot of joy out of planning events!
