Kia ora, I’m Hin (Hinewai), and this is me.

Ko Waiohau te marae.

Ko Rangitaiki te awa.

Ko Hikurangi te maunga.

Nō Whanganui ahau.

31 year old gurl.

I was born and raised in Whanganui, and after years of exploring the world, it’s where I’ve come home to.

By day, I’ve spent nine years working in highly technical leadership roles. I have a BSc, a brain that loves systems and problem-solving. A system that loves "doing" and "helping".

I’ve been many things: an athlete, an explorer, a wife, an aunty. Some of those identities have fallen away, and losing them taught me more than holding onto them ever did. When everything I thought defined me unravelled, I turned inward, toward my wairua, my tūpuna and the wisdom of the maramataka. Hinewairua grew from that.

Here, I offer Oracle & Tarot readings and Kōrero & Connection sessions that bring my intuition and real-world experience together.

I’m also always learning. I’m currently exploring embodiment: coming back into my body and listening to what it holds, not just what my mind tells me. And I’m deepening my connection to the maramataka, living and working with the rhythms of the moon the way my tūpuna did. These practices shape how I show up, both for myself and for the people around me.

I write to express and alchemise my inner world, and to remind anyone reading that you are more than your worst chapter.

Everything I do is grounded in honesty, intuition, manaakitanga and integrity.

I’m not polished, and I’m not trying to be. I’m just being me, authentically.

Nau mai, welcome.
