✨ Mātua Ora 🌻

This week we had the wonderful Rima join us and talk about maternal mental health, the mental load a Mama carries and what motherhood looks like for us now.

We engaged in some art therapy, allowing a release of tension, emotion and some stressors. Having the time to sit, write, draw, release can be very healing. Especially if you are supported by the right people 🧚🏾‍♀️

Next week we will explore self regulation, what emotions look and feel like in our bodies and engage in some breath work 🧘🏾‍♀️

2 more sessions left for this cohort. If your interested in joining us, please send a DM ❤️‍🔥

✨ Mātua Ora 🌻

Last week we had the pleasure of having our wonderful Whaea Runa join us. She made it easy to speak openly about money and how it can work for us.

Identifying different types of spending personalities and offering ways to keep yourself accountable, while keeping an eye on our goals.

Our activity was also budget and environmentally friendly by making our own washing powder, as well as surface spray 🌱

As a roopu wet made our own morning t, a wonderful carrot keke! That we enjoyed a little too much as we didn't get any nice photos of it 😁

Halfway through this cohort, with our amazing counsellors stepping into our kaupapa this week.

Week 2 had us in the kitchen 👩🏽‍🍳

We continued to build on our respectful relationships through our time together in the kitchen.

We made cheap and easy kai, that Mama can pull out and whip up anytime we hear a dreaded, "we have a shared lunch today", on the morning of 😆
Or when whānau and friends turn up, we can make some delicious treats to enjoy together 🤗

Although our numbers were low, with many kaupapa and mauiuitanga taking precedent, our roopu enjoyed quality and intimate conversations and relationship building.

Bring on financial literacy and activities upcoming this week ☀️

✨ Mātua Ora 🌻

Cohort 2 started back this week and how lovely to welcome new whānau onto Makahae Marae 🌿

Week 1 consists of whakawhanaungatanga and building positive and healthy connections.

Our activity of the day was to be creative and decorate some pepehā building blocks 🎨🖌️

This is for us to remember who we are, where we come from, so we know where we are heading 🧚🏽‍♀️

The room was full of laughs and kōrero while the little ones played.

An honour to provide such a kaupapa, a privilege to walk alongside whānau in their journeys 👯‍♀️with Poutiri Wellness Centre
