"Dr Charlotte Mildon has shown me ways to improve my lifestyle. My whānau have noticed changes in my hand, including the lighter colour in my fingers, and also changes in my tinana, where I now have more movement than when I first started seeing her. Through the AIO Healing sessions, Dr Charlotte Mildon has helped me learn simple ways to manage my medications, exercise, and natural remedies that are affordable and support not only my hand, but also the other injuries connected to my accident and fall (MM)"

F E E D B A C K "My injury left me immobile regularly over the last 3 months which has been painful, extremely isolating and depressing. I wanted to find ways to make small improvements step by step. Working with Charlotte has been a very empowering experience. She has helped me see my body holistically. Her Rongoa knowledge introduced me to kawakawa and the healing properties. I am learning a whole new way of living. I am learning about the cleaning cycle my body does each morning, how to hydrate it and nourish it."

"My Rongoa sessions with Charlotte have been amazing. My goals working with Charlotte were to be settled and well after being in constant pain in my arm for the last few years after an injury caused by a police man and feeling sick as well as feeling all over the place emotionally. After 2 years of pain in my arm not being able to use it properly, Charlotte worked it and my arm could go up again. It was mind blowing not having to rely on pain relief like paracetamol with codeine, tramadol, ibuprofen, wheat bags hot water bottles and ice packs. It was so upsetting that I couldn’t sleep all that time with the pain. No more!"

"Ko te wai te ora o ngā mea katoa", which translates to "Water is the life-giver of all things"

For years, Wairoa iwi have campaigned to stop the discharge of mortuary waste into the town’s wastewater system.

They argue that despite the practice being widespread throughout New Zealand since the 19th-century European settlement, it is culturally unacceptable.

Almost everywhere in New Zealand, mortuary waste generated during embalming processes – including embalming fluids, cleaning liquids and the blood of dead people – is discharged into the public wastewater network.

In Wairoa, that means it sometimes goes straight into the awa that flows through – and defines – the town, the Wairoa River..

The waste – locally, about 200 litres is generated per week – is typically treated and then discharged about 150m offshore from the Wairoa estuary during night-time outgoing tides.

But during heavy rain, which has become increasingly common in recent years in the northern Hawke’s Bay town, its wastewater system has overflowed directly into the Wairoa River.

You wouldn’t think this Karamu plant survived in a small pot for years on the farm till I bought a new home in town. It loves it here! I even put the dried leaves in my Kombucha sometimes.

Karamu is used for its cleansing, healing, with anti-inflammatory properties.

It is often prepared as a tea from the leaves, or as a topical application to support skin health, wounds, and reduce fever.

Key Uses of Karamū Rongoā:
Internal Health: Traditionally used to treat kidney and bladder infections, support urinary tract health, and relieve stomach pains or vomiting.

Healing & Skin: Used for treating infections, inflammation, wounds, skin ulcers, bruises, and eczema.

General Tonic: Often used as a cleansing tonic for the blood, or for managing fever and reducing temperature.

Common Blends: Frequently mixed with Kawakawa or Kumarahou to make a stronger health tonic.

Edible Berries: Ripe orange/red berries are edible and are thought to aid in cognitive function
