Management

I enjoy watching our kaimahi support whānau. They each bring a unique skillset to our organisation, giving them the ability to connect, encourage and walk alongside whaiora who are moving toward new pathways.


I love seeing whānau achieve their goals, especially when they are striving for their potential with purpose! Yeaah... go whānau go!


It's great to see the team build healthy behaviours, healthy mums & dads bring up healthy sons and daughters :)


Best outcomes for me are whānau identifying that a violence, alcohol and drug free life is the ''norm''.



Best outcome is empowering whaiora to make better decisions for them and their whānau.


I am passionate about supporting whaiora to provide a happier safer environment for their whanau by encouraging them to make positive healthy changes and reminding them they are not alone on their Journey to recovery.

Whānau Team

Why do I do what I do?... "Whakamana ki te whakamana". I have two favourite sayings: "Expectations lead to disappointment" & "Anger is an emotion its ok to be angry, what gets us into trouble... is our behavior".





I love to support the people in this community no matter how big or small the job may be. God bless.






I love to support Whānau whatever way I can


My passion and drive outside of my work is my whānau, they drive me to want to be the best Tane I can be, which I achieve through my connection to Te Atua

My passion has and will always be to stand alongside whānau who experience health problems and accessing health services due to hidden barriers. To tautoko our whānau to regain independence and control of their lives is paramount to who we are as a ‘people’ Tihei Mauri Ora.

I believe it is a privilege to be able to support whaiora to acheive better outcomes in their life. There is nothing better or more rewarding than being a part of their journey.
