I began my journey of creating Waananga Hapuutanga with Ngati Whatua Tamariki Ora many moons ago, thanks to Tui Makoare-Iefata , at that time I was also a practicing midwife so was fortunate to learn about traditional birthing practices
I am also growing Ngati Whatua their own facilitators for the future through the Hine Ora Hine Tuu program.
The waananga is for whaanau living in the Tamaki/Te toka tumai area.
Any patai PM me
