Ko Tāngata Tiriti ahau
Ko Piripaina, ko Tiaina ngā whenua o aku tīpuna
I whānau mai ahau i Piripaina
Kei Ahiteireiria taku whānau e noho ana
Kei Waikato e noho ana
Ko Roy Matthan taku tāne
Ko Patricia Oyson-Matthan toku ingoa
Kia ora pānui mai koutou
-- This is a Pepeha - it's a way of introducing myself and honouring the indigenous culture of Aotearoa New Zealand, the country I love and call home.

I'm Pat Oyson-Matthan: coach, researcher, magic-maker and systems sorceress.

I help people design lives that are magical, not just practical.

I've spent years in HR and people management, seeing firsthand how systems shape the way we work and live.
But what if we could shape them back?
Now I'm on a mission to experiment with and redesign the systems around us - so they can work with us and for us, not against us.

As a Human Design 6-2 Generator Enneagram 7 ENFP Peacock person, I know I am a bright, loud and vivacious individual. I want to step into my favourite self, if not my highest self. To do that, I must recognise how (1A1A1B) My Thoughts Are A Cottage Garden and how (1A1A1B1) My Daily Actions And Thoughts Cultivate My Garden Of Identity that lead me to My Vision for the Future - My Dream Life.

What Matters Most To Me

• 💫 Sacred Money Archetypes: I'm a Romantic, Alchemist, and Ruler — drawn to beauty, transformation, and sovereignty. My life and business are rooted in these energies.
• 🔧 What Systems Mean to Me: Systems aren’t cages — they’re choreography. They can liberate our time, amplify our gifts, and hold space for the lives we actually want to live.
• 📚 Academic & Coaching Pathway: I'm studying Professional Coaching (Grad Cert → Grad Dip), with a long-term vision to complete a Bachelor of Counselling → Master’s → PhD. Every step is woven into my bigger vision of creating a wellbeing centre + research lab.
• 🎨 Signature Style: Visual. Whimsical. Deep. I use storytelling, metaphors, and joyful design to make complexity feel inviting. Think fairy fox 🦊🦋✨ meets systems map.
• 💗 Radical Self-Compassion & Eudaimonia: I believe in designing a life that nourishes our spirit, honours our seasons, and supports meaningful flourishing — even on the messy days.
