Danielle has a background in working with Māori and Pacific communities, now serving whānau in the addiction support programmes and reintegration services she manages for Purapura Whetū in partnership with Odyssey House. Her work in Cultural Supervision takes inspiration from Le Fale o le Mana Moana and the work of Dr Karlo Mila, as well as many other teachers of language, culture and healing. "E fofo e le alamea le alamea" is a Samoan proverb that affirms that "the alamea (crown-of- thorns starfish) heals the sting of the alamea" - our own indigenous reference and practices can provide the answers to our greatest challenges if we are brave enough to decolonise our minds and reindigenise our senses, recentring the best of what we want to hold onto for diaspora generations.
