Some kōrero can feel a little whakamā. But you don’t need to feel whakamā here.

There are some things we don’t always feel comfortable talking about — but your sexual and reproductive health is an important part of your hauora. You deserve a space where you can feel comfortable to have the kōrero, ask the pātai and get the care and support you need. 🙏

Our wāhine health services provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space, guided by tikanga. A space where you can talk openly, knowing you will be respected, heard and supported — from wāhine, for wāhine. 🗣️

You can kōrero with us about:
- Sexual health and STI checks
- Contraception options and kōrero
- Whānau planning and reproductive health
- Your ikura (menstrual cycle)
- Sexual health kōrero and checks

Whatever the kōrero is, you’re welcome to bring it here.
So, let this be your reminder. Have the kōrero. Book the check. Ask the pātai. ✅

This week, we’re sharing an easy Vegetable Frittata recipe — a simple one-pan meal packed with vegetables that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or preparing ahead for busy days.

🥚 Vegetable Frittata — a simple kai option for you and your whānau

What you need (serves 4):
🥄 1 tablespoon oil
🧅 1 onion, diced
🥚 4 eggs
🥛 1 cup milk
🍠 2 kūmara, grated
🥬 3 silverbeet leaves, finely sliced
✨ A pinch of salt & pepper to taste

How to make it:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Set aside to cool.
3. Whisk eggs and milk together in a large bowl.
4. Add grated kūmara and sliced silverbeet, then mix through the cooked onion. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Pour mixture into a baking dish and bake for 45–60 minutes, until set and golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

💡 Kai tip:
This recipe is easy to adjust for your whole whānau. Double the ingredients to make a bigger batch, or add your own favourite vegetables such as paukena (pumpkin), rīwai (potato) 🥔, carrot 🥕, spinach, herbs, or kale.

Adding a range of colourful vegetables to your kai helps provide your tinana with a variety of nutrients to support your hauora.
