Lets start

Ko Wai Au, Who am I

I am a mother of 2 beautiful adult daughters and a Stepmother of 3 Kool Sons, all who were very challenging. I have a wonderful husband who is supportive kind and my best friend. Took a while to find him. Along with an amazing family spread all over the motu & 13 beautiful Mokopuna who demand Nan and Papa’s cooking, plasters and Kina (move away from the kina).

I have worked most of my life and everything I have created I did with my own 2 hands.

I love the ocean, rivers and waterfalls. Water keeps me safe. I am water.

I am curious and always discovering and growing from with-in, whatever that maybe. I never limit myself. I push myself.

My life wasn’t always this rosy. I had to fight through so many obstacles, learn a lot of lessons and unveil my strengths and weaknesses along the way.

I came from out of my darkness and reached for the light and there I will remain.

And now, I am the founder of Manaaki Life Coaching. Personal, Growth and Development Life Coach.

I know what I want, and I am where I should be.
