"Shoes off ears open."

Te Ataarangi is a likeable & respected healer & social media influencer close to home & internationally (link below). They're a unique Maaori & takataapui (indigenous & queer) storyteller who use lived experience to candidly educate & share thus creating avenues where thoughts, connection & safety are found.

I've grown to respect their integrity. They show up for folx more like themselves than not, yet in doing so they teach us all how to be better people.

'23 was a year from hell. Their loving smile's been replaced with tears. If facing on/offline racial & gender hostile assaults, a brutal conversion practice, tenancy betrayal & death (they're electricity dependent) wasn't enough, they were then in a car accident on Christmas Day.

Despite hospitalisation, they used the experience to remind us to be kind, compassionate & thankful.

2024 plans were to further personal development through training & study, to publish & re- establish their private therapeutic practice, all of which is now on hold as they find their way back to themselves.

It goes without saying it took some convincing for them to agree to this page! We can make their 2024 better so they can continue being a powerful voice for change. Your donation helps them achieve their goals with training related costs & resources incl car running costs.

We can show them our love, that we value them, their time & their energy.
