WHAKAKITETANGA - VISION

To uplift and empower communities through the revitalisation of rongoā Māori, enabling cultural, spiritual, and economic wellbeing for future generations.

TĒNEI TE PŌ, NAU MAI TE AO 

“Indigenise your spaces” Prioritise the use of mātauranga Māori in everyday life. We integrate traditional Māori wisdom into every aspect of our work, ensuring that clinical practices, relationships, and environments reflect our indigenous heritage.

KA MĀ TE ARIKI, KA MĀ TE TAUIRA

“Remain an Active Learner” Maintain balance between your role as a student and a teacher. We embrace the cycle of learning, unlearning, sharing, and critiquing knowledge. Practitioners recognize that they embody both leadership (ariki) and learning (tauira) simultaneously, ensuring continuous personal and professional development.

HONGIHONGI TE WHEIWHEIĀ

“Embrace Negative Feedback” Engage with challenges and criticisms as essential components of wānanga (learning). Understanding and sitting with challenges strengthens our practice and enhances the outcomes we deliver to clients and our wider community.

WHAKATAKANGA - MISSION

To provide accessible, holistic education pathways, wānanga, and employment opportunities in rongoā Māori, restoring traditional knowledge, practices and supporting sustainable whānau and community wellbeing.
