A Pakihi Built on Aroha

Kia ora! Welcome!

​

Ko Ngongotaha te maunga

Ko Utuhina te awa

Ko Te Arawa te waka

Ko Te Arawa te iwi

Ko Ngāti Whakaue te hapu

Ko Te Kuirau te marae

Ko Te Roro o te Rangi te tangata

Ko Nikkita Koia toku ingoa

 

Nau mai, haere mai! I am a māmā of four beautiful tamariki, a wife, a kaiako (teacher) and a proud business owner based in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, New Zealand. This pakihi(business) started as a small hobby and has turned into what it is today with the help of so many. Poipoia Ōtautahi is built on aroha (love), whānau (family) and manaakitanga (support). 

​

We are a small business that does everything ourselves.

Right from harvesting the plants, to sending your orders off, everything is done at our whare (home). We love what we do and we feel so privileged to provide people with natural handmade skincare products that we believe in. 

​

We are beginning to expand our product range beyond just skincare, whilst sticking to kaupapa (topic) of te ao Māori (Māori world view), whakapapa (genealogy) and connection.

​

Thank you for being with us alongside our journey.​
