which within its context can
translate to health concerns
through injury or illness.
The word Tonu suggests
an elongated period, which
speaks to their long-term commitment
to help those back to
full health. To connect with
whānau, hapū and iwi, and
to advocate for, educate and
promote sustained lifestyle
changes that will improve
long-term overall health.
Tū Tonu aspires to
contribute to each
kete through the
sharing of knowledge
and practices that
further support
hauora.
The design logo encompasses
a whare made from
two ‘T’ letter forms, which
stand for the ‘Tū Tonu’ name.
The whare symbolises stability,
safe space, kaitiakitanga,
manaakitanga, and shelter.
Inside the whare stands a figure
who represents Tūmatauenga,
“God of War”. Tūmatauenga is
holding a tewhatewha, which
symbolises strength, courage,
and resilience. In Tainui narratives
as the ancestor of humankind.
The woven pattern through
the logo represents interconnectedness
and the confluence
of holistic hauora services in
this space. The harakeke itself,
pays tribute to its wide-ranging
uses including rongoā or
medicinal applications, associated
with traditional Māori
healing practices. Lastly,
through the art of strips of the
harakeke come together to
create a kete, which is a representation
of the repository
of skills, tools and knowledge
that tangata whaiora bring into
this space.
Tū Tonu aspires to contribute
to each kete through
the sharing of knowledge and
practices that further support
hauora.
There is a dedicated professional
team of 28 that work
with their clients and their
whānau to help them with their
general hauora (well-being).
The custom-built facility is
1000 square metres and took
18 months to build by Hokioi
Builders, a Tainui whānau
business established by two
passionate creators, Natasha
and Paddy Willison-Reardon.
