Te Whare Tapa Whā Te Whare Tapa Whā is a model of health and wellbeing for Māori that was developed by Sir Mason Durie. In this model, the house stands for our overall holistic health. The walls are the different parts of our health that hold up our wellbeing and quality of life. The four walls of Te Whare Tapa Whā are equally important. They hold each other up, as well as supporting the roof of the house. The four walls are:

  1. Taha hinengaro – mental and emotional wellbeing.
  2. Taha tinana – physical wellbeing.
  3. Taha wairua – spiritual wellbeing.
  4. Taha whānau – social wellbeing.
