Hauora Health Coaching

Reclaim Your Balance. Rediscover Your Strength.

At Whakapakari Ora, our Hauora Health Coaching is grounded in the wisdom of te ao Māori and the rhythms of your own tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), wairua (spirit), and whānau (relationships).

Led by Kandace Ihimaera Smiler—certified health coach, epigenetic coach, personal trainer, and kairongoā—this pathway is for wāhine and whānau seeking personalised, kaupapa-aligned support on their wellness journey.

We blend modern health science with mātauranga Māori to help you build strength and restore balance from the inside out.

What Hauora Coaching Offers

Health Coaching

Why Hauora Coaching?

Our approach honours mana wahine, whakapapa, and the interconnectedness of all aspects of life. This is more than health advice—it’s a supported return to your own knowing, led with compassion, accountability, and mātauranga Māori.

You won’t be told what to do—you’ll be empowered to tune into your body, understand your patterns, and move in alignment with who you truly are.
