Ngāti Paoa, Tainui
Michele is a successful Entrepreneur passionate about creating a better world for wāhine (women) and driven by the dream of a Māori circular economy. Michele turned to māori practises to find a deeper connection to herself and her babies. Five years ago she became a newly single māmā and had just launched her now successful business AWWA. While navigating trying to be a parent, pay the bills and start up a brand new business she began experiencing extreme burn out, a lot of anxiety and self care was non existent. Upon realising her wellbeing was suffering Michele began manually tracking her energy and emotions as well as when her period arrived alongside the phases of the māori moon. She was shocked to find she had definitive patterns in specific moon phases an now lives by planning her months around these patterns to live a life in tune with her own rhythms.

Samantha, who works closely with maramataka every day within the youth mental health and wellbeing space, is passionate about bringing the knowledge of her ancestors into the modern world to support the wellbeing of people and whenua. Samantha turned to maramataka to heal her menstrual cycle and hormones and support a change in living more sustainably. As a young wahine who, like many, experienced imbalanced hormones and extreme pms symptoms each month she first began tracking her menstrual cycle and adjusting how she lived around her own patterns of energy. She then, on advice from her māmā, incorporated tracking her cycle alongside the moon and found that when she planned her daily life around her patterns with the moon her hormones became balanced and the pain she experienced each month went away. Living this way has given her a deeper understanding that being in tune with out taiao means we are in tune with ourselves.
