Women of Strong Heart

Manawa Nui Wāhine is a culturally grounded healing programme created to support wāhine on their journey of healing, reconnection, and empowerment.

Facilitated by the experienced team at H&P Wellness Therapy Ltd, this programme provides a safe and nurturing space for women to explore trauma, strengthen identity, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others through shared healing and culturally informed therapeutic practice.

Grounded in compassion, connection, and mana-enhancing support, Manawa Nui Wāhine encourages participants to move at their own pace while being supported within a respectful and empowering group environment.
