He Karakia:
Tuku ate wairua kia rere ki ngā taumata
Allow one’s spirit to exercise one’s potential
Hai ārahi i a tātou mahi
To guide us in our work
Me tā tātou whai I ngā tikanga a rātou mā
As well as in our pursuit of our ancestral traditions
Kia mau kia ita
Take hold and preserve it
Kia kore ai e ngaro
Ensure it is never lost
Kia pupuri
Hold fast
Kia whakamaua
Secure it
Ko wai au? He uri ahau no Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Ngāti Raukawa, Muaūpoko me Engarani.
My name is Tina Parata, and I have worked in public health for over 40 years, and in Palliative Care since 2006.
My why is my whānau. I am focused on achieving equity for all across the race, age and life continuum.
I have found success in bridging the gap between cultures, and I am passionate about improving health outcomes for Māori.
Whakataukī
Whiria te tangata ka puta he oranga,
Whiria ngā mahi toi ka puta he tino rangatiratanga.
Weaving people promotes well-being...
Weaving the arts promotes excellence.
Raranga used as metaphor for weaving together people, places, stories, skills, crafts and knowledge, while also weaving together the past, present and future; thus, nurturing healthy relationships, positive outcomes and growing strong people/families.
Mission Statement
I promote cultural change by
empowering cultural awareness and confidence in health care, removal of barriers for tūroro and whānau Māori
and improved health outcomes
across the age continuum

FACILITATION
My aim is not to teach, but rather
to share information and knowledge,
and provide a safe space where
participants can (re)discover the
knowledge that they already possess.
If you or your organisation wants to progress its engagement with Māori, have a greater awareness and understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, or is working towards meeting national standards of Cultural Awareness, then call or email me to discuss your requirements, and I will plan your workshops or policy review accordingly.
