The first and ONLY event in New Zealand putting female wellness and sexuality centre stage
If you’re craving connection and inspiration over bubbles and laughs… me too.
​
I’m Rachel and for most of my adult life I wished there was a space where women could come together - not just to talk about work or family, or all of that other every day stuff - but to actually talk about us. Our bodies. Our confidence. Our pleasure. The stuff that usually gets brushed under the rug.
​
So, after hosting more than 300 incredible women in fun, sexy and empowering Girls Night Out events - I’ve created my biggest, boldest event yet.
IGNITE: Passion & Pleasure is a one-day event that’s part inspiration, part real talk, and part unapologetic fun. Hosted by me – a sexologist and educator, and burlesque superstar Kiki Kisses – we’ll be having conversations on body confidence, style, women’s health and sexuality – all wrapped up with burlesque performance, bubbles, and plenty of laughs.
Join us 19 October to come together for:
~ Unfiltered conversations about body confidence, health and wellness, style and female pleasure
~ Inspiring speakers and real stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
~ A buffet lunch, canapés and bubbles or cocktails.
~ A high-energy vibe complete with fun, laughs, and a burlesque performance by Kiki Kisses.
No fluff. No taboos. Just confidence, connection and a whole lot of fun.
MC + Special Burlesque Show
Kiki Kisses reigns as one of New Zealand's most celebrated burlesque and pinup icons, adorned with a dazzling array of accolades. She exudes a captivating blend of allure and whimsy, proudly reigning as the esteemed Duchess of NZ Burlesque.

Glamour is her game, unpredictability her secret sauce, and her presence—well, let's just say it's more unforgettable than watching your drunk uncle Steve twerk at a family BBQ. When she's not dazzling audiences, Kiki is the proud co-owner of The Velvet Haven - a NZ burlesque school, Kunty Couture designer and a certified NZ Wedding celebrant, ensuring that every "I do" is said with style.​​
