His values, leadership, generosity and mana reflect the essence of our gentle giant. His mantra is to inspire one person off the couch to make a change. He will kick your butt in a boxing session, sharing his special counting skills and giving out ‘rewards’ usually in the form of press ups, however, he will then walk you to the car and always leaves you with a smile. Also: give this man a flat white and you have a friend for life. He’s known to wear a tutu for a good cause too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1583361237077-H5WVDVBO0O5VTXVUM9D1/image-asset.jpeg Our People Lou (The Boss) aka Our Kaihautū The one the team would be lost without; Lou is Cate’s right-hand woman. From admin and management to client care, she is the one in the know. Connection and whānau are important to this self-professed extrovert, whether it’s a chat over a cup of tea, a walk around the block or competing at an event, Lou is always there and always willing to help. She goes over and beyond to ensure that everyone is cared for and their needs met. Also: always loses her keys and will remind you about macrons. Cooks a mean feed on whānau days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1583360850616-EWTPF6JDBWCOYLQA2S48/Untitled-2.jpg Our People Cate (The Chief) aka our Kaiurungi With a belt of skills like you have never seen before Cate can turn her hand to anything, whether it be a session or guiding you in making a life decision. She is the chief, the CEO and loves to challenge comfort zones. She has a heart of gold and a special ability to connect, understand and empower those of any walk of life. She strongly advocates for those who face adversity and always has many idea pots cooking. Also: tea fixes everything. And most recently, so does Lego. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586744280975-5B752MTNDNWZYQ8FWOSM/Aoraki+2.png Our People Siani - Kaitūhono Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586743933544-ZZWKCUFG77E7NZJG7HZZ/Aoraki+2.png Our People Sophie - Kaitūhono Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586743933544-ZZWKCUFG77E7NZJG7HZZ/Aoraki+2.png Our People Sarah - Kaitūhono Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586744280975-5B752MTNDNWZYQ8FWOSM/Aoraki+2.png Our People Josh - Kaitūhono Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586743933544-ZZWKCUFG77E7NZJG7HZZ/Aoraki+2.png Our People Helen - Kaiawhina Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586743933544-ZZWKCUFG77E7NZJG7HZZ/Aoraki+2.png Our People Amber - Kaitūhono Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1583889012288-3VEAYL3G06P77TTIUJ8V/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-02-13%2Bat%2B3.32.47%2BPM.jpg Our People Mike (Our Mārākai Intern) Also: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1587095174985-KEV0SG53JUAUM269NJ84/Lily Our People Aisha (Our Apprentice Wizard) Joining us in 2023, it is Aisha’s first year of high school and also their first job.

Developed in the early 80’s by Sir Mason Durie, Te Whare Tapa Whā is a holistic model created to provide a Māori perspective on health and wellness. Using a wharenui, he showed the four sides each represented a part of one’s wellbeing. Our experience tells us that without considering each cornerstone of Te Whare Tapa Whā, we are not looking at the person as a whole being. Many of our whānau are urban Māori and for various reasons, are not always connected to their marae. The birdhouse represents Whānau Whanake being an urban movement; a place of belonging for anyone. Taha Tinana - our physical health, how we move and take care of our body. Physical health is just one aspect of wellbeing and cannot be separated from whānau, wairua and hinengaro. Taha Wairua – a person’s spirit, however, not necessarily religious. Without a spiritual awareness, whānau wellbeing is affected and they are more prone to ill health. Wairua may also explore relationships with the environment, between people, or with heritage. Taha Whānau - whānau provides us with the strength to be who we are. This is the link to our ancestors, our ties with the past, the present and the future. Understanding the importance of whānau and connection - a sense of belonging. Taha Hinengaro - thoughts, feelings and emotions. How do we talk to ourselves and share these thoughts with others? Whenua - the whenua represents our connection to the land and the foundation upon which each person stands. While the birdhouse does not sit on the ground, we see the rākau being our connection to the whenua. This acknowledges that our whānau come from all over so we are not connected to just one piece of whenua, however the rākau still grounds us like a pou. https://www.whanauwhanake.org/home daily 1.0 2021-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2fa3003a87ad666e7b8114/1586647364959-DFU2LXLPCNXYCR62OJIF/threekaimahi.jpg Home - We are wayfinders for whānau to thrive What’s holding you or your whānau back from being healthy and living well?
