My passion for Rongoā Māori Medicine began when I studied Holistic Healing some 30 years ago, from there my love & passion grew. I began making various different blends for my whānau with certain ailments to help with healing on a holistic level.
Nau Mai Rongoā aka (Divine Healing) was born 2017
Kawakawa is a plant native to Aotearoa, it has beautiful emerald green, heart shaped leaves.
Kawakawa is one of my favourite plants and also the most diverse remedy to have. Has many, many medicinal uses and can be used internally, externally and energetically/spiritually.

Things I’m passionate about: reading, spending time with my tamariki & mokopuna, cooking & chocolate 😂 For those who are new here or might not know much about me, here are a few things I love:
My ataahua tight 5! I’m a māmā to 5 tamariki, 2 tama & 3 kotiro! & a Nan to my ataahua moko girl, nanny moko queen Ngahere 🌿 I am the youngest kotiro & the only girl in my whānau with my 3 brothers older then me with a 7 year gap between myself & my youngest brother. 🫶🏽
LOVER of life, JOY being out in Papatūānuki & Tangaroa or having quality korero. 🙌🏽Wairuatanga is also a top priority. ✨ I also love creating!
Oh & Shopping! thanks Laybuy 😬😆
I love cooking with a passion! When you’ve more or less been brought up on & around your marae it becomes 2nd nature. I’ve worked in the cooking industry for around 7 years but cooked all my life. Started with a tee towel in my hand of course then graduating to the sink to wash dishes. 🙌🏽
I started this account to share my journey & showcase my aroha towards my passion, hobby & dream 🍃💚🍃 Over time, I’ve been so grateful for all the support and the forever connections I’ve made here. 🤗
Kotahi Aroha e te whānau, no reira tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa.
