Kia ora e te whānau! Our new website is now live 😍

After moving home to Tūrangi, and a big year of growing and realigning the kaupapa, both Mana Ake – Kaupapa Creative and Whai Ora Rongoā have come together under one ingoa - Ahoake.

Ahoake is about the aho that connects us, to whakapapa, to wairua, to healing, to creativity, and to each other. It’s all the mahi you already know. Rongoā sessions, taonga, kākahu, workshops, and kaupapa-driven design — now in one place, under one whare.

You can check out the latest designs, explore the kaupapa, and book your Rongoā appointments all in the same space.

Ngā mihi to everyone who has supported this haerenga so far.
Mauri blessings, Mitch xx

Ahoake is a Māori-led creative studio, clinic, and store in Tūrangi, offering rongoā, handmade taonga, kākahu, workshops, and community wellbeing. A space shaped by whakapapa, connection, and creativity.

Tēnā koutou e te whānau!

I am very excited to announce the opening of a new Rongoā Clinic at Tuwharetoa Health in Tūrangi specialising in Mirimiri, Romiromi and Mahi a Wheua!

Each Rongoā session focuses on restoring balance within the tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), and wairua (spirit), realigning and uplifting these aspects of your hauora

Rongoā Māori is a deeply spiritual practice, and I am honoured to share these ancient healing traditions with whānau in Tūrangi.

Whether through Mirimiri, Romiromi, Rongoā Rākau, or Takutaku, each session helps reconnect us with ourselves.

Thanks to Tuwharetoa Health, all sessions are fully funded, ensuring accessibility for all who seek healing.

Sessions available starting from 23rd October 2024:
* Wednesdays, 10am – 3pm
* Location: Tuwharetoa Health, 28 Te Rangitautahanga Rd, Tūrangi
* Bookings essential!

***UPDATE*** We are now fully booked through to the end of November so if you are keen to make a booking please register with this link:
