Tamaiti ākona ki te kāinga, tū ana ki te marae tau ana 🏠

🌕 Turu o te rima o Kōpū, the first of our full moons in the fifth Māori month of Kōpū rises just before sunset tonight ✨

Te Marama has this one evening each month to rise and blow a goodnight kiss across to her tuakana Tamanuiterā as he sets soon after in the West 🌅. Her growth into fullness 🌗🌖🌕 is often likened to the swelling puku, healthy glow and radiant beauty of a hapū māmā soon to birth her pēpi into Te Ao Mārama☀️

📅 We start our last Kōpū intake next Wednesday 28th October. If you are pregnant and wanting to prepare for or refine your birthing experience with us by your side, come and join us! Your learning will be fun, relaxed and conversational, and you’ll have time to meet our own Mamia Tamariki Ora nurses as more kaimahi aunties in the whare 🫶

This week we welcomed new whānau into the kāinga, where some hands-on parenting practice occurred only days before pēpi arrived! 🤱 And we had a beautiful circle of tummy rollers whose mummies and nannies learnt about singing 🎶 talking 🗣️ sound 🪕and the joy in nohinohi seeing their friends at the same stage of development, and using mirrors 🪞 to see themselves and others from a new angle!

Wherever you are in your maternal journey, whether carrying a pēpi in your puku, in your arms, or in your heart, there is aroha, manaaki and connection for you here at Mamia💕

Come and enjoy the beautiful spaciousness here at our whare Āmiorangi. 🏠 Let us know if you’d like a ride 🚐, have a cuppa ☕️ and stay for lunch, a relax sun-sit ☀️ or learn how fun play is for your tamaiti – and return home uplifted, with new ideas and inspirations! 🫶

The week ahead at Mamia:
🌘 Mane: Whare closed - public holiday
🌗 Tūrei: Taonga Tuku Iho - te reo Māori with your pēpi (10:30am)
🌖 Wenerei: Kōpū Antenatal Wānanga (10:30-12.30pm)

Pitopito kōrero - whakanuia celebrate! 🙌

Ahakoa he maha ngā mea e pai ana ki te ao, ko te ngākau manawanui te tino taonga 🌾🌻🌿🪎

E te tuakana, Andi, nō mātau te hōnore ki te mihi ki a koe mō tō mahi nunui ki te hāpai i te hauora o ngā tamariki, ngā māmā me ngā whānau hoki. Mahia te mahi i runga i te pono o te Tiriti. He hōhonu he whānui ō pūkenga tino rawa atu. E karanga ake tō maunga kaiora, whaia te iti kahurangi! 🗻🌬️💨🎐

We wish to acknowledge Andi, her professional and clinical practice, PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowship, whānau friends and colleagues, which have all led to the huge contribution she has made and continues to do in Aotearoa and further, to support tamariki, wāhine and whānau! 💛 Andi is super humble but a really wonderful & impactful quality of Andi’s is her compassion for tamariki & whānau, & sharing her expertise, collaboration and promotion with, for and of others, especially in community & kaupapa Māori, to do good mahi, while she quietly remains in the background as a strength and champion🌻

We are proud and grateful for your aroha and kaitiakitanga of Mamia, Andi. Recalling those days during our PhDs and clinical practice where we wished for a difference and our ideas to change it up! 💛 Thank you always for your support and guidance to me and us all. Miharo kē, koe!

✨Dr Andi Crawford has over 20 years of experience working in child development, child and adolescent mental health, maternal mental health, and addiction services. In her work Andi is committed to partnering and collaborating with Māori to honour the responsibilities of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Andi has been part of the Mamia whānau since it started in 2020 and believes in the power of community and care for each other. She has specific expertise in Te Iho Tātai-ā-Rongo (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) and was the Tangata Tiriti co-lead for the development of the Whakakotahitanga Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder diagnostic guidelines for Aotearoa New Zealand (2024) with Hāpai te Hauora. Andi now works privately providing supervision, research and training ✨

Tamatea o te rima o Kōpū: ‘Kua wetewete te rau o te rākau’🌱🌳

Tāwhirimātea and our Atua of weather, soil, planting and growing kai are working double time at the moment with the birds and winds spreading seeds, the rain helping them bed in while watering newly planted māra, and the taiao humming with new life and growth☀️🌡️🌧️❄️🌱🪏🥦🍅🥬

Aligned with the maramataka and this time of seeding, momentum and flourishing, our Kaiarataki and Whānau Mamia have enjoyed two days of in-house training and hikoi whenua this week 👣

We set off bright and early like Rongokako and Tamatea Pōkai Whenua 👣, to whakawhānau as we learned the history and connections from the Kurahaupō + Takitimu waka⛵️, through to Heretaunga, to our tīpuna🪝, to where they lived🏠 and gathered kai, and why.

Packed with with one ukulele, our Pou, three Ama, 10 kaimahi, a nine waiata medley🎵, an enthusiastic +1, yummy packed 🥪🍊, 1x 🎤, and Uncle Ngahiwi as our navigator-historian-storyteller extraordinaire. Ka mutu pea ēnei rā ako me te tipi haere, mō te kaupapa, mō ngā mokopuna me ngā whānau te take ❤️

Ngā tai o mihi ki a koutou Uncle, Aria & James 🌺

Looking ahead to next week we have our favourite Whaea Deb back to share all things oranga niho 🦷🪥, answer any pātai, and take a look at little teeth if you’d like her to 🤍

Tiramarama nei e ✨
Oh, how our tamariki shine and sparkle!

With wāhi tākaro spread throughout our whare from our rūma noho Kaunoti, across our deck space Huarewa and out onto the lush whenua 🌿 the tamariki, māmā and kaimahi have lay, played and rolled far and wide!

Inspiring kōrero has taken place with our nohinohi centred in the middle 💫 eyeing one another, reaching and touching little fingertips of their nearby friends and playing peekaboo with gleeful giggles! 🫟

And there are pēpi, nohinohi and their whānau who leave our whare to venture off ⛵️, but return to show us their bigger selves and fill our hearts some more 💗 Sending a biiig mihi to all our mokopuna who popped in to say a happy “kia ora e te whānau” to us again! 👋🏽

And just as many māmā become tuakana to first time visiting wāhine, we see this modelled through the tamariki too.. runners showing mindfulness of rollers, walkers taking care with their crawling friends – Tiramarama nei e 🌟

Whare Āmiorangi has held birthing practice, whānau birth stories, and tamariki of all ages and stages this past week,

And this week ahead we rest her for a few days…

💛 Mane: Kori tinana (10.30am) + Tākuta Tamaiti (12-2pm)
