Kia Ora love, my name is Ila.

The mission is this: to create a better world for the women of today, tomorrow, and one hundred years from now.

We are sacred women, beyond comprehension; to honour this within ourselves is profound.

This mission calls in a world where women are deeply connected to themselves and their truth and in reverence with the earth.

I am forever a devoted student of the earth, studying natural medicine and the life sciences of naturopathy and herbal medicine.

I live for adventures out in the forest, writing, deep dive convos, and sitting in silence with myself, holding a juicy, warm cup of cacao.

Earth Women came to me when I returned to my knowing.

If we can do anything in this life, perhaps it is this: to remember who we truly are.

Where Earth Women was born.

A young woman with long brown hair and a necklace, dressed in a warm sweater, is standing in a green forest. She is reaching up with her right hand to touch or examine the leaves on a branch, with sunlight filtering through the trees illuminating her face and shoulders.
A woman in a dark brown strapless top and white long skirt stands in a lush green forest near a small stream.

Ko Mauao te maunga
Maunganui is the mountain

Ko Kaituna te awa
Kaituna is the river

Nō Tauranga Moana ahau
I am from Tauranga

Ko Hogg tōku whānau
Hogg is my family

Ko Ila tōku ingoa
My name is Ila
