I’m Beth Rika, a creator, educator, and small business owner from Aotearoa New Zealand. For more than 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to caring for and teaching tamariki, guided by a gentle heart and a love for helping others grow.

As a proud mum and hands-on nanny, whānau is at the centre of everything I do. That love of family inspires the work I create through TKC Sensory & Education and Kakahu Taonga, where I handcraft meaningful pēpi kākahu and keepsakes made with aroha.

Alongside my creative work, I’ve also supported community and care-based initiatives, always with a focus on kindness, connection, and respect.
