“
Deane has helped our team to reflect on our own identities as Māori and Pasifika community practitioners and how we can incorporate mātauranga Māori into our every day lives and mahi.
We have felt very supported and empowered working with Deane. She is an amazing combination of tau and kaha that enables us to feel completely comfortable while also motivated to create change.”
