Thelma House
“Find Your Happy”
Thelma House
“Providing a positive, healing space for individuals reflecting on what has passed, questioning what is now, and searching for what could be”.
Located in the beautiful Motueka Valley (renown for its great trout fishing, National Parks and picturesque countryside) Thelma House has nestled calmly into the Stanley Brook landscape for over 100 years. Originally part of a larger farm spanning three generations of the “Carleton family” (Whanaungatanga) it now offers a range of accommodation, and activities for people wanting a loving and healing rural experience.
Thelma House was created to encourage unity (kotahitanga) learning (akoranga) and mindfulness (taha hinengaro) through connection with nature (Papatuanuku) and an emphasis on simple living, creativeness and hospitality (manaakitanga) to nourish the body and soul.

Nicola Allan, Freelance Florist
Creating beautiful flowers for my customers, in remembrance of those special occasions or events, is my passion. Let our blooms help you find your happy and brighten every moment, including:
- Weddings
- Celebrations of life/funerals
- Events/Special Occasions
- Floral workshops
The flowers we choose for these times are an extension of us, our personalities, our lives, our whanau, a place or time that needs acknowledging or celebrating.
Whether an elegant “Wedding Bouquet”, individualised “Casket Spray” or specialised “Arrangement”, I can support you to make the best decision for you and your budget.
I look forward to hearing about what you want to achieve for your day and creating this “theme or mood” in the colours, design and layout of the flowers we choose.
Please make contact today to enquire about my availability, costs involved and general planning advice.

Dream Coaching
“What you think, feel and do, on a constant daily basis becomes your patterned beliefs… and beliefs become behaviors which in turn become your reality”.
Remember when you were a child, you dreamt big!
Adventure, romance, travel, employment, there were never limitations to what was possible for you and your life. Why is it then as we progress through our lives the ability to “Dream” and believing in those Dreams seems harder to hold onto?
As your “Dream Coach” I will help you rediscover your dreams, your passions, the things that make you feel alive, buzzing! I will support and empower you to recognise those feelings that let you know you are on track to living the most authentic version of yourself!
You are an amazing, beautiful, one of a kind human so capable of achieving anything you put your mind to!
You can begin your own special life journey at any moment. The instant you make an intention towards your true path, every hurdle you’ve jumped, every block you’ve encountered, and every minute you’ve spent wandering in the wrong direction will simply become the strong building materials of wisdom, courage and gratitude.
Now is the perfect time to create the rest of your amazing life!
Make contact with me today to start your exciting new journey of self-discovering and growth. I am super excited about playing a part in your story still untold!
Sessions are one hour in duration, held at Thelma House. Three session options are available. “Walk and Talk” (farm walk), “Chill and Chat” (seated indoor or outdoor)) or “Create and Conversate” (conversation whilst creating with flowers). In our sessions together we will identify where you hold those “mindset blocks”. Negative thoughts and beliefs that hold us back from reaching our full potential. Together, we’ll create a “Dream Plan” to move you positively forward, helping you find your happy as you work towards your dream life.
Nicola Allan holds a Certificate in Abundance Coaching, a Certificate in Breakthrough Life Coaching, and is a Certified Mindfulness Practitioner and Coach.
