Ki Ora NZ — a holistic wellbeing consultancy serving Aotearoa and Australia. We provide integrated workshops and coaching that blend workplace health and safety, mental wellbeing, and sustainability.

A Living Expression of Our Values

At Ki Ora NZ, our services are more than a list — they are a living, evolving expression of our values and purpose. To truly understand what we offer, you first need to understand our foundation.

“Kia Ora” is more than just a greeting. It’s a blessing, a direction, and a way of being.

In te reo Māori:
“Ki” means toward
“Ora” means life, health, and wellbeing

Together, Ki Ora is a call to move forward — toward connection, growth, and vitality.

That’s exactly what we stand for:
Wellbeing that works — for people, whānau, and performance.

Every service we deliver is guided by this kaupapa — rooted in respect, driven by impact, and shaped by the diverse communities we serve.

About us

At Ki Ora NZ, we deliver integrated wellbeing solutions for both corporate and community settings — helping people and organisations grow stronger, safer, and more connected.

We are grounded in the values of manaakitanga (care), whanaungatanga (connection), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship). These values guide how we approach every workshop, wānanga, and relationship — with warmth, respect, and purpose.

Our Mission

As a one-stop wellbeing partner for businesses, we offer tailored solutions led by our occupational workplace coach — a specialist in human resource support, health and safety, and workplace wellness strategy. Our wider team of health and education facilitators bring lived experience, cultural intelligence, and practical tools to the table — ensuring every training session meets the unique needs of the people in the room.

Whether you're building a safer workplace, investing in sustainability, or supporting your community to thrive — we’re here to help you create lasting change.

What we do

  • At Ki Ora NZ, our team comes from all walks of life — Defence, Police, Urban Search & Rescue — but what connects us is a shared passion for helping people show up stronger, more prepared, and more grounded in who they are.

    We run practical, down-to-earth workshops that focus on real stuff: resilience, leadership, mental health, cultural awareness, and just being better humans — at work, in our communities, and in ourselves.

    We love working alongside charitable trusts, community groups, and organisations that care about people. Together, we offer wrap-around support that’s not just about ticking boxes — it’s about helping others build confidence, reconnect with purpose, and keep going when things get tough.

    This is about wellbeing that actually works — with heart, with honesty, and with people at the centre.

    “Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini.”
    My strength is not that of a single warrior, but that of many.

  • At Ki Ora NZ, we’re all about helping people and teams get ready — not just for the good days, but for the tough ones too. We support others to build the physical strength, mental clarity, and practical tools they need to stay steady under pressure and perform at their best when it really counts.

    Our team has been in the thick of it — from the Christchurch earthquakes to the national COVID-19 response — and we've stood shoulder to shoulder with frontline teams, pro athletes, and sports clubs, including rugby legends, to build trust, resilience, and real connection.

    This isn’t just theory — it’s lived experience, shared to uplift others.

    “He moana pukepuke e ekengia e te waka.”
    A choppy sea can still be navigated by a waka.

    We believe with the right support, every team can weather the storm — and come out even stronger.

  • Community

    Who Are Our Workshops For?

    Our workshops are for anyone who works with people — because culture, wellbeing, and connection matter at every level.

    For team leaders and managers who want to lead with empathy and strength.

    For new staff stepping into diverse, cross-cultural spaces.

    For HR professionals and D&I champions working to build workplaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

    And for anyone ready to grow, understand more deeply, and show up better for their team and community.

    These workshops are about real people, real skills, and real change.
