ABOUT the facilitator Fernanda: 

Kia ora, I’m Nandita (Fernanda) — a visual artist, educator, and certified Life Coach. Originally from Argentina, I’ve called Aotearoa home since 2018, a place that witnessed my rebirth.

In 2024, after a near-death experience and a medical diagnosis, I turned to collage as my anchor for healing and presence. Out of this journey, I created Creative Presence — a practice that blends art, mindfulness, and coaching to nurture wellbeing and authentic self-expression.

With over a decade of experience guiding creative processes — from teaching at university in Argentina to working with communities here in New Zealand — I now dedicate my work to helping others reconnect, transform, and bloom through creativity.
