"Like the flowing awa, let go of what no longer serves you. Wai cleanses, not just the tīnana but the wairua, too."

8 years ago, just before the birth of my youngest son👶. I had fallen back into the space of kahuipō (depression).
My husband took me to this special spot 🏔.

The cleansing waters of my tupuna awa💧.

Here, I was able to release so much, so my baby and I would have an easy labor, and he would have a good start to life.
Two weeks later, our son was born, big and chunky.

I am grateful to my husband for these moments✨️🌿

"To care for yourself is to honour those who came before you. Your tūpuna walk with you—nurture your hinengarō, tīnana, and wairua." Nā Te Rau O Nuku 🌿

Day one at the gym was kinda scary, as I have never been to the gym. Wish me luck, as it was 🦵leg day 😆

Massive mihi to our supporters

Without their support we wouldnot have been able to get this this second round of Reo Pōwhiri wānanga off the ground.

We are looking forward to opening the doors to this kaupapa again in the coming year for our Whanganui Wāhine✨️🌿

I was lucky enough to spend the day with my sons kura. We went out to Bushy Park Homestead, just outside of Whanganui. Our topic today was Rongoā Māori. Sharing the matauranga I have with our tamariki is very important to me, it is a Rongoā for me. My ngākau is full ❤️🌿

We give special care to the tiniest of creatures, our survival depends on it
