Mama Maia - Kia U Kia Ora

25/11/2025

Our final session of Te Hā Haumanu was all about self-care and what that looks like for each of us. We all had different ideas of what self-care means, but we agreed on one thing as māmā, we give and give and give, and it’s vital that we step back and weave more care into our own lives.

We treated ourselves to clay mud masks, a kawakawa cleansing facial bar, and a nourishing coconut oil face massage. To close the day, we shared our reflections while soaking in a detoxifying foot spa.

What an great, informative mini session we had with our wonderful Danni the dietician today after Mama Fit ✨

She shared her wealth of knowledge around proteins, calorie intake, hydration levels and the effects on a postpartum Mamas body 🥗🍑🍉🍖

She specializes in all things Mama related whether it is during your haputanga, after you have had baby and to support your breastfeeding journey🤱🏾

Thank you to those Mama who came, listened and interacted with Danni and a huge thanks to Danni for your time and aroha 🥰

One takeaway was her noticing our workout with the equipment and exercises we do at Mama Fit and how beneficial it is to have this space, this access to a service, that is so valuable for women as we age 🤗

Mama Fit will be wrapping up in a couple of weeks 🥹

Our last session for this year will be Tuesday 9th December and we shall celebrate it with a shared lunch. If you have been an OG, have come for a season, a short while or a couple of weeks, nau mai haere mai, come and join our final session and shared Kai in 2 weeks time ❤️ with Poutiri Wellness Centre

Alcohol causes harm to developing brains. It's important to understand that even a "little bit" of alcohol is not harmless. There is no known safe amount of alcohol for the developing brain. Every drink poses a risk to its future potential, so give your brain the best chance to thrive!

Yesterday at Te Hā Haumanu we welcomed Acaccia and Charlotte from Waste-Ed with Kate, to kōrero with our māmā about waste-free and sustainable ikura care. 🌿

It was such an informative session we explored the reusable options available and learned about the impact single-use ikura products have on Te Taiao.

One shocking fact we learned is that even though single-use products are sent to landfill, those landfills are sealed off from air, which means nothing really breaks down. So our single-use ikura products carrying our own DNA could still be sitting there a thousand years from now for someone else to find! 😳

Our māmā were also gifted reusable ikura products to take home, try out, and hopefully make the switch to. ♻️💚

✨ Te Hā Haumanu ✨

Week 4 - Term 4: Mana Whakahaere

Last Monday for wānanga, we got busy in the kitchen! 🥖👩🏽‍🍳

The Māmā asked for more kai-focused sessions, so last week we learnt tips and tricks to make the perfect bread.

We started with one basic dough made (x4) and from that we created:
🍞 Bread loaves
🥯 Bagels
🍥 Cinnamon scrolls
🥖 Bread rolls

By the end of the session, they had the confidence to make their own bread a home like a pro 💛

Our Māmā leave feeling domesticated and able to provide for their tamariki and whānau with their newfound knowledge 🍃 with Poutiri Wellness Centre
