Directors note

There are seasons in life where everything changes, not because life asks more of you, but because you finally begin asking more of yourself.

The past twelve months have been one of those seasons for me.

I took the brave step to invest in my first full year commitment to coaching. What a privilege that was. Journeying as the first rangapū of Te Kunenga. A space that invited me to unlearn the stories, patterns, and expectations that no longer served me, while gently guiding me back toward the life I knew I was here to live. It wasn't a journey of becoming someone new, it was a journey of remembering who I had always been.

E Te Kirikaahu ki Waihīrere kāore i arikarika aumihi. Thank you for creating a space where I was deeply seen, challenged with compassion, and held with unwavering belief. Your teachings have influenced not only the way I lead, but the way I live. The ripple of your guidance lives within Motion Motuhake, and for that I will always be grateful.

My Kunenga sissys Ramari, Arihia, Hinerapa, Kiriana, Naomi, and Tatiana, thank you for walking beside me. There is something truly transformative about being witnessed by wāhine who are courageously building lives aligned with their own visions. You have celebrated me, held space for me as I wept and reminded me of the power that exists when women choose to rise together. I know our paths will remain forever woven.

Motion Motuhake is truly in motion.

This year we welcome the second cohort of iNE-in-motion, continuing to journey alongside wāhine as they reconnect with themselves through the rhythms of the maramataka and the wisdom of te ao Māori.

Alongside that, we launch Kapa Ora a nine-month journey created for iNE who feel disconnected from their ancestral knowledge, and wisdom. This  kaupapa has been years in the making, co-created with my sissy, Jade. Through the midnight wānanga, sporadic ideas, breaks, and breakthroughs. Thank you for believing in this vision long before it had a name, for sharing your wisdom so generously, and for walking this path with me. It is an honour to finally bring this kaupapa to life together.

A journey that includes in a four-day marae retreat, where ine connect physically with the whenua of their tīpuna and Jade and I physically a tīnana.

Behind the scenes, more collaborations are quietly taking shape. Beautiful partnerships with people who share a vision for creating meaningful experiences grounded in connection, creativity, and culture. I can't wait to share what's unfolding.

As you journey along side us I hope you find something that inspires you get in motion. Whether that movement is bold or quiet, outward or inward, may it bring you closer to yourself.
