Our little story

Our story

Our little story began with some very challenging times. We experienced firsthand the joy and difficulties of balancing parenthood with careers, plus everything else life has stuffed in there. You might be familiar with the experience of feeling overloaded. It has pushed us to find ways to restore our mind, body, and soul in order to be the best version of ourselves.

Being born and raised in stunning Aotearoa New Zealand, we’ve been blessed with amazing opportunities to rejuvenate in the wonderful little pockets of our country. Whether it’s enjoying the peaceful tranquillity on a simple native bush walk, indulging in a relaxing hot tub, or taking time for meditation and prayer surrounded by unbelievable scenery, we’ve found these moments of peace and reflection have allowed, edified and encouraged us to celebrate our wins (small or big!), be grateful for our blessings and recognise areas needing growth and maturity.

Now it’s our turn to share with all of you, what NZ has on offer to help you develop, restore and grow. Whether it’s through enjoying the serenity of nature, volunteering in a native restoration project or engaging in thrilling experiences, Little Pocket has destinations, experiences & retreats for you to have a moment to find balance that brings joy, reinvigoration, and fulfilment to your life.

We are all about encouraging those who wish to better themselves; where there is the will for wellness and self growth, with action, you’ll discover new purpose, inspiration, creativity and joy – ultimately the best version of you.
