Where it all began
Nestled on the Kapiti coast, Te Waahine blossoms from a dream of unity and empowerment for women. Since its inception in 2025, it has been my pleasure to craft a sanctuary where women and girls flourish with wisdom and resilience, guided by personal stories and lessons.

Building Strong Links
If you're curious about my journey, passion, and the loving souls behind Te Waahine, dive into my story. Together, let's cherish an atmosphere that nurtures safety, learning, and fearless self-expression. Join me, feel the change.
At Te Waahine, we believe in the power of community. Through shared experiences, mutual support, and collective strength, we create a safe space where every woman and girl can thrive. Like the waka that binds us, we move forward together.
Our Core Values
Our journey is defined by three core pillars: Empowerment, Safety, and Community.
We build confidence and strength in every woman and girl to stand tall, just like the resilience required to navigate open waters. We are committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces for learning, healing, and growth. And above all, we stand together—moving as one whānau, supporting one another through every challenge and triumph.
