Jessie Kim

Jessie is the founder of Manawa, a movement devoted to creating safe and healing spaces for people to reconnect with their bodies, express their truth, and live from the heart.

She is also the founder of Wholiwell, a holistic health studio based in the Dust Palace, where she advocates for viewing health through a wider, holistic lens—one that honours the mind, body, and spirit. Jessie believes true healing happens when all aspects of our being are seen and supported.

As an Angelic Reiki Practitioner and Holistic Health Coach, Jessie guides others in raising their vibration and returning to their authentic essence through movement, energy healing, and creative exploration.

Born in South Korea, raised in Tāmaki Makaurau, and shaped by 12 years of global travel, Jessie’s path has been deeply influenced by spiritual practice, cross-cultural wisdom, healing, and motherhood.

Her journey has been one of liberation—reclaiming joy, creativity, and inner power by letting go of societal expectations and tuning into her higher self.

Through Manawa, Jessie weaves together her passions for ecstatic dance, art, and holistic well-being to offer transformative experiences that open the heart, release old stories, and awaken the soul.

She currently offers Angelic Reiki and Holistic Health Coaching at Wholiwell Studio at Dust Palace in Ellerslie.
