Rooted in Rongoa

Rongoā is a part of life, and always has been a part of my life — the wisdom of our whenua and the gentle medicine found in nature is one of the greatest gifts. As I find my way back into creating Kawakawa balms & butters again, my journey begins to transform into something deeply personal.

Every botanical creation I make is a dedication to my late māmā, Tihema — a true woman of the earth who taught me that healing begins in nature.

I am currently based in Perth, and although I’ve long called Australia home for a long time, my heart still beats in Aotearoa. Join me as I move through my own healing, feeling the quiet call to return to my roots, my mahi, and my purpose.

Over time, I’ll be relaunching each creation slowly, with intention and aroha, which will in turn, eventually lead me to reopening my Mirimiri and Romiromi sessions too.

This space is part of my rebirth — a gentle unfolding as I weave, create, and share the gifts of rongoā once more.
