"Me aro koe ki te hā o Hineahuone."
Pay heed to the breath of Hineahuone. 

HineHau (formerly Elevare) is a leadership and breathwork training institute for women.

Rooted in Te Ao Māori, we are here to return the breath to its rightful place as a taonga of healing, reconnection, and collective restoration. 

  

We offer leadership retreats and a 200-hour practitioner certification Globally Accredited by IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine).
 
Learn how to facilitate breathwork  to repattern the nervous system and elevate the tinana (body), hinengaro (mind and heart), wairua (spirit), and whanau (family & community).

GROUNDED & CENTERED

SAFE PRACTICE

A Kaupapa for All Wāhine

X

HineHau is an offering for all wāhine, of every culture, background, and story who feel the call to reconnect with their inner wisdom and reclaim their fullness of breath.

While we are deeply guided by mātauranga Māori, this kaupapa is not only for wāhine Māori. It is open to all who come with respect, reverence, and a willingness to journey inward.

We respect the diverse threads that shape each woman's path, and we welcome all expressions of wairua, whether rooted in ancestral tradition, personal devotion, or quiet conversations with te Atua.

Whether you are reconnecting with your indigeneity, learning to listen to your body, or discovering breathwork for the first time, HineHau is a space where you are welcome.
