About Us

PNC HALFANDHALF was born out of a deep connection to wairua, whenua, and whakapapa. My healing journey started not just for myself, but for my whānau and those around me who were seeking natural ways to nurture their bodies, minds, and spirits.

After going through heartbreak and major life changes, I found myself turning back to what was always there—Rongoā Māori. I began reconnecting with the traditional healing practices passed down through generations, especially the use of native plants like kawakawa, known for its powerful healing properties. Through harvesting, infusing, and creating, I realised I wasn’t just making balms or oils—I was rediscovering identity, purpose, and mātauranga Māori.

The name PNC HALFANDHALF represents balance. It reflects the blend of worlds I stand in—modern life and traditional knowledge, pain and healing, struggle and strength. My products carry that same balance: handmade with aroha, rooted in tikanga, and crafted to support others on their own hauora journeys.

Everything I create is made with intention—to uplift, to heal, and to bring people closer to our taiao and our mātauranga. Whether it’s a kawakawa balm, oil, tea blend, or soap, every product is a piece of our culture, our story, and our mana.

Experience the aroha in every drop

Discover the essence of Māori healing with PNC HALFANDHALF. Every product is crafted with intention, wairua, and whakapapa. What makes my healing products stand out is the deep cultural grounding they carry. I use traditional Māori knowledge (mātauranga Māori) and follow the tikanga passed down by our tūpuna.

Each balm, oil, or tea blend is handcrafted in small batches with aroha and care, infused with native rākau like kawakawa, harvested respectfully using tikanga, 100% natural, and spiritually grounded, often created alongside karakia, to uplift the wairua as much as the tinana.

Core Values Guiding Our Craft

  1. Whakapapa – Everything starts with connection. I honour my roots, my ancestors, and the stories that guide me.
  2. Aroha – Love is woven into every step of the process, from harvesting to packaging.
  3. Manaakitanga – I create to care for others — to support the wellbeing of whānau, hapori, and beyond.
  4. Kaitiakitanga – I protect and respect Papatūānuku. I only take what I need, and I always give back.
  5. Wairuatanga – My products are spiritually aligned, made with intention to uplift the spirit as much as the body.
  6. Authenticity – I stay true to who I am, my culture, and the traditional ways. No shortcuts — just real, honest rongoā.

Our Vision for the Future

PNC HALFANDHALF isn’t just a business — it’s a movement of reconnection and healing. Through every balm, oil, tea blend, and handmade product, I’m helping bring Rongoā Māori back into everyday life — especially for our people who may have grown up disconnected from these traditional practices.

My vision is to see PNC HALFANDHALF grow into a trusted Māori-owned brand known across Aotearoa and beyond — a brand that empowers, educates, and heals. I want to open a kaupapa Māori wellness space, collaborate with other Māori creators, continue developing natural products, teach younger generations about Rongoā Māori, and support whānau Māori to heal — not just physically, but spiritually and culturally.
