Maree Baigent-Harris

MAREE BAIGENT-HARRIS is a first-time writer and the founder of Creative Ideology she is an artist, story teller, and Life Coach. The story emerged for Maree while working on behalf of Doctor Lance O’Sullivan as a nurse in his medical initiative in South Auckland planted in low decile schools. She predominately worked with Maori and Pacific Islanders and after a day working with this broken demographic the story emerged of Moana - a situation which is too common in schools and society today. After also introducing a course for self esteem it was evident that at the core of humanity is the need for value, purpose and significance. The Story of Moana will challenge bullying with the power of forgiveness/value and kindness.
