Who we are

The word 'Hapū' originates from the Maori language, which signifies 'Pregnancy' or 'Tribe'. Initially, there were some concerns when we chose a Maori name. We never intended to offend anyone, so we sought guidance from Hemi Kelly, a Te Reo lecturer. With his advice, we respectfully approached an elderly Wahine, a former midwife, who graciously approved our choice under the condition that we remain authentic to our values and mission.

Additionally, we consulted Dr. Karaitiana Taiuru, who reassured us that our business name aligns with our mission without appropriating culture. You can read more about his perspective in this article - https://taiuru.co.nz/brand-advise/

We are LGBTQ friendly and our business aims to support individuals from diverse backgrounds in achieving their dreams of parenthood and forming their own 'tribe'.
