Te Whatarangi Dixon
Ko Putauaki te māunga,
Ko Rangitaiki te awa,
Ko Mataatua te waka,
Ko Ngāti Awa tōku iwi,
Ko Te Pahipoto tōku hapū,
Ko Wayne Haeata tōku matua,
Ko Kay Mereana tōku whaea,
Ko Blair Te Whatarangi Dixon ahau.
I have come from very humble beginnings. I am a product of my whānau (family) and I would not be the man I am today without the unconditional love and support they have consistently given me. Everything that I am and everything that I strive to be is a reflection of not only myself but my whānau. I represent them and I hope to make them just as proud as I am of them. I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in 2014 and again in 2019 (yes, TWICE). Always the optimist, my recoveries led me on a journey of self-discovery where I am now proud to call myself a physiotherapist. My journey has been challenging yet unique, and I wish to share my story with the world in the hope others feel inspired to shine their own light.
