Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)

Kia Ora,
My name is Annette. I have a therapy practice called The Inner Path. People come to see me because they want to be happy, free and at peace.
So we inquire into the stuff that gets in the way. The overthinking, overeating, overdrinking, people pleasing, addictions, traumas, phobias and other old patterns set up when young in order to survive.

I use a variety of skilful means such as deep listening, inquiry, CBT, Psychology, NLP, psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy.
All with compassion, no judgement and no agenda on my part.
Take a look at my website and see if I can help you.
