Before you react, breathe.
The Hā Tool helps you regulate stress in real life moments.
Rooted in te ao Māori. Worn by thousands of New Zealanders.
Kia ora, I'm Julia Wikeepa.
He uri tēnei nō Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Maniapoto, me Te Ātihaunui-a-Pāpārangi.
I'm a māmā, practitioner, and the founder of Hā Habit.
I wanted something tangible to help me pause before I reacted — with my son, in my work, in my relationships, and in the small everyday moments that quietly shape who I become. So I asked my brother to help me create a Māori-inspired breathing trainer — shaped by our taonga pūoro.
Something I could wear, reach for, and use in 60 seconds. Right in the moment.
The Arohā™ Method behind it draws on the Māori word aroha — a simple framework for responding to stress with awareness and attention.
When we slow the exhale, it strengthens the vagus nerve and builds our capacity to handle stress over time.
It changed how I show up. It's changed how over 7,000 New Zealanders show up too.
Ko te Hā te ora. Breath is life.
This isn't just a necklace.
✦Shaped by our taonga pūoro — Māori instruments of breath
✦ Precision hole extends your exhale to 8–10 seconds — activating your vagus nerve
✦ 316L surgical stainless steel — built to last, worn daily
✦ Comes with the AROHĀ™ Method — use it in the actual moment
✦ Learn more in our by peer-reviewed article published in Mai Journal
✦ Created by a wahine Māori, a taonga for real life
Thousands of New Zealanders wear theirs every day. Not as jewellery. As a practice.

Let customers speak for us
Bought this for family member with anxiety and it has been very helpful - and it looks great too. Highly recommend it.
Incredibly calming to use, really helps to slow and extend the expiration. It's much easier to remember to come back to calm breathing regularly whilst wearing it. Also soothing just to hold. It is also very pretty to wear. Wish i had bought one sooner!
Great product, for keeping centred and calm. Thank you
Helpful for my mum xoxox
I went to a stop vaping chat where it was floated that the exhale is the relaxing hook, giving the perception of calming. Your product successfully combines the mindfulness of breath work with 100% healthier access to that calm, wrapped in Te reo guidance😍
Aroha Your Mahi 🤎🫶🙏💚
Loved the chocolate and the note. Packaging was done with a lot of care and thought. The extra support is well appreciated.
Great tool to focus me to breathe correctly. It is also a lovely piece to wear and fiddle with as a distraction also
Tino ataahua! I'm giving it to my daughter as a gift to acknowledge her appointment into a new job but also to help her break a vaping habit.
I'm sure it will help her when she feels stressed and needs to just regulate her breathing. Plus it is like a beautiful piece of jewelry that I'm sure she'll love ❤️
Thank you xx
I have never worn any necklaces ther than my taonga that was given to me years ago but the Haa tool I did not hesitate to wear everyday. It’s lovely to wear and sing it everyday has become habit. It has kept me grounded, mindful and the breath work has progressed tō become more natural.
Very good tool to work on calmer bedtimes, worries etc, highly recommended.
The day after I received my Hā Tool, I quit vaping cold turkey. It’s been 19 days now, and I swear learning to regulate my nervous system through my breath changed everything for me. What I was using vaping for, my Hā Tool replaced. I am so very grateful for this amazing product, it’s beautiful, has a nice weight to it and I wear it all the time. Thank you so very much for creating a product that has been life changing for me!
Love this. Not only is it beautiful but it is a very effective breath work tool. Ordered it on Thursday and it arrived on Friday!Highly recommend.
I love this tool, it’s beautiful too
