My beautiful mokogirls photo taken 6 years ago today. They loved helping Nana with our Kawakawa infusions.

Each of our Kawakawa creations are named after all my now 6 mokopuna, my kuia, my nanny, my mum and myself. I'm still experimenting with my children's infusions🥰🥰

On Anzac day I was privileged to present at our 28 Māori Battalion hall in Papaioea. The story of my 4 koro( dad's dad & mum's side) who fought in WWII ( Koro Joseph Nepata is buried overseas) and throughout the presentation I spoke about their whare tapawha overseas and when they returned to alcohol, racism, lost land, no support, PTSD 😭😭.

One thing I love about this model is its simplicity to help people reflect, identify and plan their health and wellness no matter what age ❣️❣️❣️

How's your whare tapawha ?

****UPDATE**** Great turnout after Easter weekend. About 15+ tamariki & a few caregivers enjoyed experimenting & taking home Kōwhai and Takoha oils for coughs and colds, and stings and bites ❣️❣️

See you all on Tuesday 22nd April at Waipukurau Library. There are limited spaces so please come before 10.30am to avoid disappointment.

Ps if your tāmariki or mokopuna have already made an oil infusion at our previous workshops, please get them to bring these along so we can turn them into beautiful body oils for the whole whānau. Mauriaroha xx

Sharing is caring & after a very busy January out and about with whānau and friends I'm home doing life in my wee whare. Two amazing wananga here in Kahungunu done then...A huge spring cleaning, decluttering & catching up with my whare, maara, natives & my cat LJ(who is loving lounging on my bed & cuddles). ❣️

The first pic is of me from 4 years ago mixing my kawakawa potions in my kitchen here in te rohe o Whatuiapiti a tipuna who begat my tipuna kuia Te Huhuti(it's said she was so besotted she swam a whole lake to be with him). 😘 I was sharing my first workshop here at my new whare with some lovely ladies on their own rongoā journey & it felt beautiful and so right ❣️.

All the other photos are of my maara & natives that I grow at home, for our whenua, whānau, my friends and koha(to marae, kura, kohanga, wananga & so on). Here's to 2025 & many more workshops, giving with aroha & making space for all things for our whare tapawha ❣️❣️

Mauriaroha 🙏
