"what is good for Māori, is good for the world"
- Teina Pohatu

Kia ora! I'm Jess, a Registered Social Worker with almost a decade of experience in the sector. My experience lies in Child Protection, Mental Health, ACC sensitive claims as well as community and goverment social work. I am also a Rongoā Māori Practitioner. 

I have three young tamariki and understand how hard the mama-career-whanau juggle can be.

Our kaitiakitanga sessions are created around your needs as a practitioner, exploring both clinical support and cultural guidance. Drawing on mātauranga Māori and career experience to awhi you in your practice. Our space is intentional with the focus of empowering practioners to be grounded and real as they support tamariki, whānau, and hapori.
