Hakopa is the Maori name which was given to me by my Mother, Pare Takarangi. The name means strength and determination & also translates into “Jacob” - My middle name.

I am Hakopa, Heartled Warrior, and I support people through Gravitational Leadership, so they can become Empowered and Inspired to create positive change in their lives and their communities.

My coaching style blends my own personal journey (growing up in a dysfunctional environment, overcoming challenges) with the wisdom of my Maori/Pacific Island heritage. I believe in a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional therapy methods, empowering you to create lasting transformation.

I am a father and a son, I am originally from Auckland New Zealand. I have 11 siblings, come from a huge family. I have always grown up believing that family relationships are the most important in my life and that sometimes family isn't always our BLOOD family, sometimes it's people you come across in life that just love you for who you are.

If you're serious about making a positive impact on your life and your family, I'd love to connect with you.
