Puukenga/Our Areas of Expertise

We are specialised and trained in Mauri/Maori Therapy which is restorative and reintegrative by nature. Our approach stems from a Maaori counselling/Mauri Therapy background steeped in Wairuatanga.

We both have qualifications and experience in adult education, programme planning & facilitation  We also believe that life skills education is vitally important for empowerment & growth.  Real Education stands for Re Empowering, Authentic and liberational. We recognize that people are born to learn grow and thrive through self-knowledge.

Spirituality and wairuatanga are very important to us.  We have both experienced the benefits of being in tune and connected  with nature and the creative power that flows through all of life.  One of our aims here at TPW is to help people reconnect to their spiritual self and to realize their divine roots.

We are both passionate about wholistic health & living a whole lifestyle. Paula is a trained professional coach and Hemi is a mentor.  

We suggest a range of wholistic therapies and incorporate some of these into our work.  We have a vast knowledg base and suggest only those things we have tried and experienced ourselves.  

Due to our knowledge, background and social services experiences in various settings, we are able to provide advocacy, consultancy and cultural support to those who are in need of tautoko, awhi and manaakitanga during these hard times
