Tracy Taipari
Raised at the foot of my tupuna (grandparents) I had the opportunity to live with the old that contributes to my kaitiakitanga (supervision) practice.Ko wai Au (who am I) I am the fine print of my grandparents blueprint that holds the wisdom of tupuna handed down. Being able to identify who you are provides the confidence in self and to others that empowers who you are. I pride myself in Kaitiakitanga engage with my te ao Maori worldview lens.I engage to enhance rangatiratanga (self independence), koharangatira (respect), and mauri ora (wellbeing). We have our own solutions and answers at times we need a safe space to filter through self's environment to realign the balance.
