Hine Health

So excited that Hine Health will be presenting at the 2026 International Indigenous Women’s Health, Wellbeing & Leadership Conference in Brisbane. 🩷

Our kōrero will be about something at the heart of Hine Health: Reclaiming Prevention, Hauora & Mana Motuhake.

When our health system is largely centred around illness, disease and crisis, we are going right upstream. When they go down we go up. # # #.

For Indigenous communities, prevention itself can be an act of resistance.

It is reclaiming knowledge.
Reclaiming agency.
Reclaiming our relationship with our bodies and hauora.

It is mana motuhake — having greater authority over our own health and the health of generations to come.

We are looking forward to sharing the Hine Health kaupapa, learning alongside Indigenous wāhine from across our communities, and continuing the kōrero about what healthcare could look like when we move from simply treating sickness to actively creating wellness in our whanau, from our marae and hapu.

Knowledge is care. Hauora is wealth. Mana motuhake. 🌿

Kia ora whānau,

Hine Health Foundation is looking for a talented Māori artist to help us co-create our beautiful Pouwahine — the heart of our new Hine Health App, launching this Matariki.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a kaupapa grounded in hauora Māori, mana wāhine, whakapapa, and wellbeing. We are seeking an artist who can help bring our vision to life.

If you're interested, or know someone who might be, we'd love to hear from you.

Ngā mihi nui again to our sponsor
Mai Health⁠ Dr Lance O'Sullivan for supporting wāhine health and wellbeing. ✨

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸
To all the incredible māmā, kuia, aunties, sisters and wāhine who nurture, guide and hold our whānau together with aroha every single day. 🤍

We also send our love and thoughts to those spending today missing their mothers. # # #

Arohanui.

What if I told you there will never be enough doctors — and Māori wāhine will continue to get the short end of the stick.

The truth is, the system was never built with us at the centre.

And I refuse to be a doctor working inside a broken system without trying to create something better.

That is why my focus is now Hine Health.

A safe space for wāhine Māori to come together, wānanga, heal, learn about our bodies, reconnect to our mātauranga, and find our own solutions to keeping ourselves and our whānau healthy — with the assistance of specialist care, medical knowledge, and culturally safe support.

This is not just about medicine.This is about prevention.This is about knowledge.This is about mana motuhake.

Mai wahine mo wahine na wahine

Because nobody understands our stories, our struggles, our strength, and our whakapapa the way we do.

Hine Health is only the beginning. 🌿

Just Rose Harris.
