Our services

Tikanga Māori led support for the hinengaro, wairua, tinana and whānau - delivered with aroha from Aotea, Great Barrier Island, and alongside whānau across Aotearoa. Kanohi ki te kanohi where we can, kōrero however you can reach us.

Āwangawanga

Anxiety

Racing thoughts, a tight chest, sleepless nights - āwangawanga can shrink a whole life down to just getting through the day. We help settle the storm: patient kōrero, grounding practices drawn from the taiao around us, and simple tools that fit real life.

  • One to one kōrero and grounding practice in the whenua and moana that hold us
  • Practical, daily tools for a racing mind
  • Whānau included, so that home becomes calmer too

"Anxiety weighs the heart down, but a kind word lifts it."

Proverbs 12:25
Pōuritanga

Depression

When the world loses its colour, the hardest step is believing light exists at all. We walk from Te Pō towards te whaiao one small step at a time - no rush, no judgement, and no one left to walk alone.

  • Regular, reliable walking-alongside support - we keep showing up
  • Reconnection with whakapapa, whenua and the things that once brought joy
  • Karakia and wairua care, where welcomed

Addiction relief

Alcohol, drugs, gambling - addiction thrives in whakamā and isolation, and loses its grip in honest connection. We offer judgement-free kōrero, practical pathways to freedom, and healing that restores the mana of the whole whānau.

  • Straight-up, judgement-free kōrero about where things really are
  • Practical recovery pathways with peer and whānau support
  • Working alongside clinical, social and kaupapa Māori services

Relationship harmony

Between partners, between parents and tamariki, across generations - relationships carry our greatest joy and our deepest hurt. We help whānau find their way back to one another: listening first, restoring trust, and rebuilding the harmony a whare needs.

  • Facilitated whānau kōrero in a safe, neutral space
  • Restoring communication, trust and forgiveness
  • Standing with whānau in both celebration and grief

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep."

Romans 12:15

Wellbeing

Wellbeing is not the absence of struggle - it is a whare with all four walls standing. Following Te Whare Tapa Whā, we help people build the everyday rhythms that keep wairua, hinengaro, tinana and whānau strong.

  • Everyday rhythms: sleep, kai, movement and time in the taiao
  • Strengthening identity, belonging and purpose
  • Wānanga and rōpū that keep the collective strong - he toa takitini
