Hina Marama · Cycle + Moon App

Your body has seasons. So does the moon.

Some weeks you feel unstoppable. Some weeks, impossible. Nobody told you why.

Hina Marama is an app for wāhine. Each day it shows you which season your body is in, Hōtoke, Kōanga, Raumati or Ngahuru, right next to the Hihiri Maramataka. Your body and the moon, side by side.

I was raised by my single Samoan dad from the age of 10. He did his research, and he never hesitated to buy me pads whenever I needed them. Hina Marama is for our girls who are new to their ikura, with tools to support them and their whānau.

In my mid-twenties, when Kenape and I were trying to conceive Te Kane, I was told I had PCOS and needed to lose weight to get my periods regular again. I was given little to no information about PCOS, and I knew very little about periods at all. That is when my journey with the seasons of my ikura began: how they shape our moods, our cravings and our bodies. We conceived Te Kane two years later.

Built with Kenape

I have built Hina Marama over the past year with Kenape's input. Is this clear to read? Will other men understand it? I kept asking myself: what do I need from my partner in each season? I'm not always affectionate and high-output. So every marama, I would teach him each season: what I need, how I'm feeling, and my signs when I start to burn out. Now it runs like clockwork. A few days before my ikura, Kenape cooks dinner for the next four days, does all the washing and looks after our daughter while I rest, guilt-free. Our relationship has bloomed.
