Kia Ora, I’m Gayle Moana-Johnson
I’m a solo mama of three, a life & confidence coach, and an empowerment guide for wāhine who are ready to reclaim their mana and rise into the life they deserve—free from the weight of expectations, self-doubt, and fear.
I’ve walked through the hardest of places—spaces filled with violence, addiction, and the weight of generational trauma. I know what it’s like to grow up in a home where mental health struggles and addiction were part of daily life. Both of my parents battled with their own demons, and I felt that ripple in every aspect of my childhood. I grew up in spaces where violence was normal, and I became a product of it, too—sometimes feeling like I was drowning.
I know struggle deeply—I’ve been trapped in toxic spaces, battling inner demons, and carrying shame in silence. Becoming a mother at 15 and 17 forced me to face my self-worth. I had to break free, not just for me, but for my kids.
When I chose to stop drinking and leave unhealthy environments, that was my first step toward reclaiming my power. From there, I knew I had to change, starting with choosing myself.
I understand the pressure and overwhelm, but it doesn’t have to be that way. You can break free from self-doubt and trauma. I’m here to help you reclaim your mana and rewrite your story.
My Mission & Values
My mission is simple: I’m here to help wāhine stop playing small, break the cycles of trauma, and rise into their own leadership and power. I want you to step into your worth, your confidence, and create a life you’ve chosen.
What drives me? Integrity, authenticity, and realness. I don’t shy away from the hard stuff because I’ve lived it. I know that change isn’t easy, but I also know that you can overcome it.
I believe in real, raw transformations—not the cookie-cutter versions that don’t resonate. You’re not alone. I’m here to guide you to break free from the weight of your past and step into your own unshakeable confidence.
