What my clients have to say ....
Sandra has an incredible business savvy that combines incredible efficiency and productivity with personal values and connection. Her skill-set plus mindset approach to her work creates incredible value. She’s inspired me to take action that creates real results in my work. Highly recommend

Aatea has had the pleasure of working with Sandra since 2000 first in assisting us with setting up our business systems (and running them) and then in organising field events for our research contracts. In the last few years we have helped Sandra front events she has managed. Sandra and her team have always followed through with great accuracy, with a human touch that creates a welcoming environment. I recommend Sandra to organisations who want professionalism and results.

I love that Auaha is Māori wāhine owned and operated while being kaupapa driven. They are true leaders in bringing diversity to the conference space. In addition, they made our whole process easy and provided all sorts of stress-free fun throughout the event, including an amazing networking experience that really brought the WOW factor. We completely trusted their ability to translate our desires for the event (and for our participants) into a reality. They took care of the large pieces and deftly handled the little things that make a ho-hum event into something memorable. Ultimately, they made it easy for us!

Sandra organised several conferences for me when I worked in the health sector. She is thoroughly professional. I appreciated her ability to tune in quickly to the conference theme and character. This led to success – good attendances and great feedback. Sandra was responsive and nimble when dealing with the usual conference challenges. I particularly enjoyed her passion for her work, backed by commitment to quality. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a conference organiser.
