The Essence of Te Whare Puna Ora
Discover the heart of Te Whare Puna Ora, our vision, and the deeply rooted values that guide our mahi. We are dedicated to healing and growth within Te Ao Māori principles.
Our story
Te Whare Puna Ora was established in October 2025 with a clear vision from our Rangatira: to create a Healing space that supports Wahine through trauma and addictions.
From this dream, we have thrived, expanding our support to include Tane and Rangatahi, as well as providing cultural engagement for professionals within the Kaiwhakahaere collective.
The holistic approach of Te Ao Māori and the Hauora principles of Te Whare Tapa Wha (Prof. Sir Mason Durie), Te Wheke model of practice (Dr. Rangimarie Rose Pere), Mahi Atua, Mahi Wairua, and E tu whanau models allow us to connect to our whaiora and those seeking professional development through cultural engagement.
Kaupapa Focus
Our aim is to empower and foster a supportive, inclusive environment. We strive to uplift individuals and strengthen the fabric of our community, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they deserve.
We believe in collective growth and healing, working towards a future where everyone can thrive.
Strong Wahine nurture strong Tane, and together they shape Rangatahi who thrive with confidence and purpose.
Strong Wahine nurture strong Tāne, and together they shape Rangatahi who thrive with confidence and purpose.
