Ko Tangimangaone te wharekai,
Ko Hato Aperahama te whare karakia,
Ko Ngāti Porou te iwi,
Ko Janet Matehe toku ingoa.
Kia Ora, my name is Janet Matehe and I whakapapa to Te Whanau a Iritekura in Tairāwhiti/Gisborne. I am a Māori wahine who resides in Te Awa Kairangi (Lower Hutt). I have trained and continue training to become a trauma specialist who supports healing with compassion and expertise. I believe in a holistic, mana enhancing approach, that embraces a whanau centred way of working. I have flexible working hours, I am available weekends, early morning, and evenings. I have multiple contact methods that include phone, zoom and face to face. My office locations are in the main streets of Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. I believe whanau are the experts of themselves, I have the privilege of working alongside them. Mauri Ora!
