What Sets Waina Apart? With over 20 years of experience as a social work practitioner, educator, and healer, Waina Pene draws from her deep connection to Māori culture and her lived experiences to empower wāhine to reclaim their power. Her work is rooted in the ethos of capturing life within a cultural context—transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. Through her coaching programs, workshops, and consultancy services, Waina helps women embrace their authenticity, lead with aroha (compassion), and inspire others to do the same. “From my roots in a small rural community, I’ve transferred the lessons of resilience, growth, and authenticity into tools that empower wāhine to thrive in their communities and beyond. Life has been my greatest kaiako (teacher). After losing everything—including my sense of self—I discovered the power to rebuild, love wholeheartedly, and embrace my worth. Through whakapapa (genealogy), wairua (spiritual essence), and aroha (compassion), I reconnected with who I am and realized that I am enough. Now, I guide wāhine to do the same: to lead authentically, live boldly, and transform their whānau (families) and hapori (communities) by first transforming themselves. Ko te mana o te huringa kei roto i a koe – The power to change is already within you.”
