Tikanga | OUR values

Our values are grounded in Te Ao Māori and the wisdom of mātauranga Māori, embodying a way of life that honours the interconnectedness of all beings and the revitalisation of Rongoā Māori as a path to holistic wellness for both Māori and non-Māori.

We uphold Kaitiakitanga, Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, Mā, Tika, Pono, Kaha o te Kupu, Tino Rangatiratanga, Whānau, and Manawaroa, embracing these principles as a foundation for healing, learning, and community.

Through these values, we strive to share and celebrate Rongoā Māori, fostering a way of life that is respectful, inclusive, and transformative for all.

Guardianship | Stewardship

Kaitiakitanga

Guardianship for human wellbeing by taking care of tangata, whenua and matauranga is a core aspect of being a rongoa practitioner.

Hospitality | Kindness

Manakitanga

Serving others with care and compassion is a natural element of rongoā practice.

Building Relationships

Whanaungatanga

Connecting authentically with others and prioritising genuine relationships.

Virtuous | Respectable

Ma

Virtuous and respectable conduct honours our tipuna, serves our whānau needs, upholds tikanga, and embodies integrity, essential for trusted healing practices.

Upright | Fair

Tika

Uprightness and fairness ensure equitable access, respect cultural protocols, honor whakapapa, and uphold manaakitanga, fostering balanced, inclusive healing environments.

Honest | Sincere

Pono

Honesty and sincerity uphold trust, honouring ancestral wisdom, fostering genuine connections, and guiding holistic healing journeys with integrity and authenticity.

True to your Word

Kaha o te Kupu

Self Determination

Tino Rangatiratanga

We proudly champion a vital aspect of Māori cultural identity and tradition by helping to reconnect people to rongoā matauranga that has been lost. Through reconnecting with whenua and tangata, we enhance lives while simultaneously promoting the value of our kaupapa.

Family | Community

As our business expands, we are driven by the inspiration to create opportunities for other Māori rongoa practitioners. Our goal is to empower them to develop their own practices, fostering not only their professional success but also contributing to their economic wealth.

Generosity

Manawaroa

Our commitment to community wellbeing extends to offering koha clinics and reduced costs for the unwaged, kaumatua, students or those facing hardship. Ensuring that everyone has access to the healing benefits of our treatments.
