Walking through the doors of Tāiki e! was one of the best decisions Annie ever made. She loves being inspired by others in the whare, gaining tips and suggestions that support her wellbeing and her mahi. Annie is passionate about ensuring people are aware of all their options, especially in deathcare and the funeral space. As a co-founder of Manaaki Mats, a funeral celebrant, and an End of Life Doula, she advocates for greater awareness in these areas. A lifelong learner, Annie thrives on connecting with people and listening to their stories, which she transforms into life legacy work. She’s currently on a mission to walk up Titirangi 1,000 times, loves a good laugh, researching whakapapa, and always tries to see the positive side of life.
