Strengthening Pathways to Wellbeing: Whakapakari Ora and Ignite Aotearoa

For nearly two years, Whakapakari Ora Wāhine Wellness has proudly worked alongside Ignite Aotearoa, offering a kaupapa Māori approach to wellbeing through one-to-one sessions, webinars, and mobile clinic outreach.

As a delivery partner through the Ignite digital wellbeing platform, our services are available to a wide range of organisations seeking to integrate holistic healing into their mental health and hauora offerings. Ignite Aotearoa, affiliated with Emerge Aotearoa, supports clients connected to Māori tertiary pathways such as Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, Te Wānanga o Raukawa, and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

Together, we support access to Rongoā Māori, mirimiri, whakawhiti kōrero, and cultural wellness practices that honour whakapapa, whānau, and wairua. Whether delivered online or in person, these offerings are grounded in mātauranga Māori and aligned with the needs of diverse learning and workplace environments.

This ongoing relationship reflects our shared commitment to empowering individuals, whānau, and communities on their hauora journey — blending traditional wisdom with modern access.
