My 2 hr 30 mins pamper pack was pure luxury. I really enjoyed the time with Kapa working her magic. I slept so well after. I feel more relaxed and can move much easier now.

My Story
I am Caprice Turner, a 6th generation of Heta Seth Tarawhiti. A man who held a deep reverence to our creator Ihoa. And my kuia Tangimai Berryman nee Tarawhiti following her father’s guidance of love and reverence to Ihoa was matriarch to her whānau. A women who guided me through my childhood.
Embracing my whakapapa hikoi journey through reflection, inspiration and intention I remember the guidance gifted me by my kuia.
My hikoi began in February 2020 when the car I was travelling in was rammed by an 18-wheeler truck and trailer. My body, mind and spirit were devastated. On the outside my body slowly healed. But inside I suffered with chronic PTSD, depression and disconnection from my whānau, iwi and hāpori. Even myself.
I tried numerous mainstream health treatments and therapies which left me feeling shattered and disillusioned. My symptoms and suffering didn’t fit into their tidy tick-box system. I fell into the grey cracks of their assessments. They couldn’t help me. I had to find another way.
I found new purpose in ‘old’ wisdom. Reflecting on my whenua, hinengaro, tinana and whānau gave me direction. With time I rediscovered parts of myself and my spirit. With a fresh spark I started my hikoi toward a self-sustainable lifestyle – blessed with an abundance of self-sustainable rongoā.
Three years on from clearing, cleaning, cleansing and rebirthing our rongoā puna source, Te Puna Ora was born. Te Puna Ora is wairua led, aroha driven and mātauranga blessed. I share my knowledge and skills to empower others to thrive. I stand with humble gratitude for God’s intention for balance and alignment between all things.
