Tamati Robens (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāi Tahu, Rangitāne) and Morgan Norris met through a common passion for fitness. Seeing whānau and friends go through challenging times with their mental and physical health inspired the young couple to develop a business that focused on helping others experience better health and wellbeing. In 2023, they launched ARO supplements, a plant-based protein business using Te Ao Māori wisdom to encourage better nutritional choices for overall hauora.
