Ko wai tatou? Who are we?
Ngātahi, is a term used to describe the unity of people working towards a specific goal or the implementation of a task. For generations past and those to come, we Connect, Protect & Restore, with one common goal: to share mātauranga, to hold space for healing to happen and to assist in the transformation of people’s lives through Rongoā Māori.

Awhina Motutere - ACC Registered Rongoā Māori Practitioner
“My name is Awhina Motutere. My direct descent lines connect me to my tūpuna, whānau, moana and whenua. I am from everywhere and it has been so since I was born.”
In the western world, I am a Medical Herbalist and a Naturopath. In Te Ao Māori, I am a Rongoā practitioner and a Mirimiri / Romiromi practitioner.
My Koro introduced me to Te Ao Rongoā and my father gave me my love of the natural world. He taught me about the importance of connection to the world around me.
Rongoā is a way of life as it is the embodiment of all that is. It is not just about trees and plants, it is a journey to self. It is an ever evolving road with many bumps and collisions. It is a self reflective journey of personal transformation.
Without “labels,” I am simply a lover of Papatuanuku, Te Wao Nui a Tāne and my people.
