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. Originally born in Rotorua, New Zealand, with ties to the North and East coasts of the North Island, I now live in Perth, Western Australia, with my Aussie husband Tyron.

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.

Raised Women was born from a heartfelt desire to really uplift women. I wanted to create inclusive spaces and resources that raise up purposed, positioned, and prepared women. I feallyw anted this to be a space that:

Encourages women through seasons
Inspires women to live bright bold purpose filled lives
Nurtures women in their faith, life, and professional pursuits

If any of the above sounds like something that can support you then Raised Women is here for you.

Welcome to the Raised Women. I'm so excited for you x

Aroha nui (much love)

Tash

By 'Faith', 'God', & 'Christ', 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

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.

Women sitting waiting to connectwith others

Looking for practical support.

That can help You!
