About us

Kia ora! I’m Nikita, a young māmā to my energetic tama, Tiakina te Āio, Nō Te Wairoa māua, engari e noho ana māua ki Heretaunga. So we're pretty Kahungunu hard.

Ka kōrero māua ki roto i te reo māori ki te kainga (ki te ao hoki) heoi, mēnā ka hiahia koe ki te kōrero reo māori ki ahau, kōrero mai.

Quickly, just a little bit about how our pakihi came to be.

During my Hapūtanga, I experienced Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe condition that left me struggling with constant sickness and weight loss. The challenges of that time led me down a rabbit hole of research—seeking ways to nourish not only myself but my growing pēpi. That’s when I truly discovered the power of food in healing, development, and overall well-being.

What began as a personal mission has now grown into something bigger—a space where I can share my experiences, insights, and kai that nurtures both māmā & pēp. I’m not a nutritionist, just a māmā doing her best to raise a happy, healthy pēpi while learning along the way.

I’m so grateful for the beautiful community that has formed around this journey. Whether you’re here for inspiration, connection, or just to see what we’re up to, I appreciate you being part of it. Ngā mihi nui! 🤎
