My kete is still being woven — shaped by my whakapapa, nourished by whanaungatanga, and guided by the values of Te Ao Māori.

I’m an NLP trainer and coach walking a Teina path in Te Ao Māori — learning, listening, and growing, while offering tools that help my clients reconnect, reconcile, and replenish & develop their wairua, whakaaro, mātauranga, and mana.

It is a beautiful journey. Here is where mine began:

Kei te huri au ki tōku whakapapa i te taha o tōku whaea
He maunga tū tonu ko Tapaniao
He moana rangimārie ko Rotoiti
Ko Tokopā te awa e kōrero ana i ngā hītori o te iwi

Ko Ngāti Rongomai me Ngāti Pikiao ōku iwi
Ko Rākeiao te tipuna, he toa o ngā pūmanawa o Te Arawa
Ko Tapuaekura a Hatupatu te marae, te manawa o te whenua
Ko Ani Curtis te kuia o tōku whaea

Ko Jaki George-Tunnicliffe ahau

Ahakoa nō Te Arawa au,
ko Te Tai Tokerau te ūkaipō mō āku tamariki,
me te wāhi e hīkoi tonu ana au i te ara o te reo Māori, me ēnei tikanga, ēnei kaupapa. 
E ako ana au i raro i te ngākau hūmārie.
E whakamana ana au i te whenua, me ngā mana whenua,
me te whai kia whatu au i a au anō ki aua kaupapa, me te ngākau pono.

Though I descend from Te Arawa,
Te Tai Tokerau is where I’ve raised my children,
and where I continue to walk the path of language and tikanga 
learning with humility (and a fair amount of grit lol),
honouring the land and its mana whenua,
and seeking to weave myself into these kaupapa with integrity.

Ko ōku tūpuna i te taha o tōku matua nō Ingarangi.
Ahakoa kāore au i te mōhio nui ki ā rātou kōrero, e mōhio ana au ki tēnei: he pai ki ahau te kī, he matua whakakake ia.

My ancestors on my father’s side are from England. Although I don’t know much of their story, I do know this: I am proud to call him my father.

Like the tide, our stories are pulled from many directions; some known, some unknown.  But every thread we carry has possibility. Therefore, it is in how we weave them – with purpose and openness, that our true strength and our own legacy will emerge. And that’s exciting, e hoa mā.

Let’s weave our kete together, combining your kaupapa and my tools, your vision and my support.

“Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.”

With your food basket and mine, the people will thrive.

If this resonates — if you’re seeking to shift, grow, or create meaningful change for yourself or your people — I’d love to kōrero.

Let’s connect. Together, more is possible. Book a quick chat or a kawhe & kōrero here, and lets go forward from there.
