Empowering individuals and whānau to enhance their wellbeing: your journey, your way
At Tirohanga, we focus on the first 1,000 days—from conception to age 2—providing Māmā with resources, education, and care during this crucial time. A strong, supportive whānau is key to building a healthy, happy future, and together, we can give every child the best start in life.
You can expect to rest and sleep in one of three beautifully designed bedrooms, soak in a private relaxing bath, pause and recharge in the serene gardens, enjoy nourishing food during your stay, receive breastfeeding support and enjoy a relaxing massage if requested.
Learn how to make baby-safe kawakawa balms and oils, pēpi massage followed by a postnatal movement session with Brooke RS Wright. Enjoy unlimited snacks and a nutritious meal cooked by our Kai Gardener and Chef.
As pēpi gets older you can enjoy a nutritionist-led baby nutrition workshop and discover the benefits for pēpi growth and development followed by a relaxing mindfulness session in the afternoon. Connect with other māmā and staff from Tirohanga over a nutritious meal prepared by our Kai Gardener and Chef.
The Tirohanga Māmā & Pēpi programme includes three visits over three months. If you are a Māmā with a pēpi aged between six to sixteen weeks and living in the Waikato region, register your expression of interest below.

At Tirohanga, we understand that a strong and supportive network can make a lasting difference in shaping a pēpi’s future. That’s why we’ve designed our community wellbeing programmes to equip individuals and whānau with the tools, education, and support they need to thrive.
Our free classes and workshops are available to everyone in the Waikato. Whether you’re a parent, a whānau member, or someone passionate about making a difference, you’re welcome to join us. Together, we can build a brighter future for our pēpi. Register now!
