Ko Wai Mātou

He uri mātou no Ruawaipu, Ngāti Porou me Ngai Tūhoe. He mihi nui ki o mātou tīpuna katoa.

Ko Bella-Marie Kaa (tā māua māmā), ko Mererangi Kaa mātou ko Hoana Kaa.

We are home-based currently living in Waiwhetū, Lower Hutt. As a whānau of three wāhine Māori we work together to offer rongoā services and products bringing health and wellbeing from a Te Ao Māori Rongoā perspective.

We bring over 30 years’ experience in rongoā. For over 7 years, we are honoured to learn from our mentor (our Aunty) and continue learning from her, who brings over 40 years’ experience in rongoā. 

We are guided by her akonga that take us back to Self ‘Ko Wai Au’, discovering the infinite possibilities within — an evolving journey of reconnecting with Self. We explore and are a small part of the infinite continuum Te Kore, Te Pō me Te Ao Mārama, tā mātou rauru. We release what is no longer needed, we deepen our connection to Self restoring balance within.

Te Ao Rongoā has been our healing, guiding us back to ourselves 'ko wai au', to the joy, aroha and care Ranginui rāua ko Papatūānuku bring within. To return within is to return to our tīpuna, Atua, me tātou kaihanga ki a Io Matua Kore.

After over seven years of in-depth learning though the guidance of our Aunty we are now ready to share our kaupapa rongoā and support others in ways rongoā supported and supports us.

Ngā mihi aroha.
