Discover quality of life
The Awhi Tu Collective Hauora, Wellbeing and Education Centre seeks to be a transformational experience enhancing the life and wellness of individuals and the surrounding community.
Health and wellbeing are values that interlink on multi-dimensional levels that, when in balance and free flowing, ensure the best possible quality of life for individuals and the whanau they connect with. Blockages of these dimensions leads to dis-ease.
Recognising this complexity of relationships is the reason Awhi Tu Hauora collaborates with a range of Hauora-wellbeing practitioners. This enables people in need the opportunity to reconnect those vital elements necessary for good health.
