Our Story
"A woman purposed is dangerous, with her, others follow.
A woman positioned protects, discerns, and sets boundaries.
A woman prepared is equipped and empowered."
- Natasha Brownfield
Hi, Kaya, Kia ora,
I’m Tash (Natasha), the visionary behind Raised Women. This is a community that provides connection services, dedicated to raising up purposed, positioned, and prepared women in faith, life, and the marketplace. Originally from Rotorua, New Zealand, with ties to the North and East coasts of the North Island, I now live in Perth, Western Australia, with my husband. Yes I married an Aussie.
As a proud Christian, Maori woman, my background is in business and marketing, with a huge heart for helping others. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pursuing my passions through incredible opportunities, including travelling the world, developing food products, competing as a contestant on the 2017 New Zealand series of My Kitchen Rules, and self-publishing my first book, Beautiful Ashes, in 2019, which highlighted the true stories of women who endured tremendous events. Such experiences have all led to the discovery of my sweet spot in building community which has always aligned with purpose.
Raised Women was born from a heartfelt desire to help women connect with like-minded community. I wanted to create inclusive spaces where women can:
-
Build intentional connections
-
Feel encouraged, supported, seen, and heard
-
Grow in their faith, life, and professional pursuits
If you're ready to meet new people, be apart of a community dedicated to raising up women, or connect with others in any of the areas above, Raised Women is here for you.
Welcome to the Raised Women. I'm so excited for you x
Aroha nui (much love)
Tash

By 'Position', we mean that women are placed and equipped to be purposeful. By 'Prepared', we mean that women are ready, empowered, and equipped to navigate life. By 'Faith', we refer to Raised Women’s Christian belief in God as the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Battle Cry Behind Raised Women
Many of the words used in Raised Women from “Huddles” to “Rendezvous” are drawn from wartime themes. That’s intentional.
Life, in so many ways, is a battlefield.
The vision I’ve always carried for Raised Women is of a contingent of women, advancing through life not alone, but side by side warring with and for one another. Women who take ground, gain territory, and claim what’s been promised for their lives and their families.
When you look to your left and right, you’ll see it:
An army is forming.
And the truth is, life is better when you move together
When you are connected, when you are covered, and when you choose to advance as one.
