About Te Ara Hōu Wellbeing
Arron Learmond
Hello! I'm so glad you're here. I believe that we all have the ability to be our best selves—to live life in a way that supports our health and happiness and the health and happiness of those around us. But sometimes, it's hard to know where to start. And even if we do know, it's not always easy to commit to change.
That's why I started my business and this blog: so we can all come together and share ideas to help ourselves and our loved ones live happier, healthier lives. I love working with people who are committed to improving their lives—and I want you to know that no matter where you are today, there is always room for improvement. If I can do it, so can you!

Ruapehu is my mountain, Mangawhero is my river, Aotea is my waka, Ātihau-nui-a-Pāpārangi is my iwi, Awaiti is my hapū, my roots are in Otoko, but I live in Whakatāne where I was raised.
