KO WAI AU?

Tēnā tātou,
He uri tēnei nō Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāpuhi, me Ngāti Pāoa hoki. Nō Rotorua ahau.

I am a Kaiwhakaruruhau, Life Coach, Youth Worker, Speaker, Programme Developer, and Facilitator. I help guide our people back to their identity & innate intelligence with practical tools through an indigenous lens.

For more than 13 years, I have worked in hauora and wellbeing across Aotearoa and Australia. I’ve worn many hats over the years, but today I stand before you as a wahine who has returned home and just wants to create meaningful impact within her community.

Through my own healing journey, professional experience, cultural reconnection, and years of observation and research, I developed Te Hokinga Mai—a holistic framework for returning home to ourselves.

It integrates emotional well-being, self-awareness, values, identity, relationships, and Te Ao Māori to support self-leadership.

Stay curious. Meet them where they’re at. Appreciate what’s already there. Be humble. Shush when you need to, speak when you must. Be childlike, have fun, be silly. Don’t be a dick. 🤍🫶🏾 What did I miss?
We jump into relationships, have babies, build lives… and half the time we haven’t even asked each other what we truly need, want, or value in love. Checking in regularly keeps us growing with our partner, not away from them. Every new c
